Tropical South Florida hotel with a lovable tiki bar

The palm tree-lined beach sets a blissful scene at the Beachcomber Resort & Villas, a Pompano Beach hotel where two large outdoor pools are the center of the action. When beachgoers are finished playing volleyball or shuffleboard, they flock to the casual tiki bar or back to their rooms, luxurious and intimate with Floridian furniture and curved balconies. All rooms are non-smoking and include free Wi-Fi, and guests enjoy complimentary passes to a nearby gym, which is within driving distance.

Highlights
  • Two large outdoor pools, shuffleboard and beach volleyball
  • Indoor and outdoor poolside patio dining and bar
  • Free passes to a local gym, within driving distance
  • Free Wi-Fi
  • Direct access to the beach
Rooms

Rooms and villas at the Beachcomber Resort & Villas brim with Floridian flavor. Wood sleigh beds feature intricate post carvings. Table and floor lamps also bear palm tree-structured bases, a throwback to colonial estate grandeur. Some rooms include plantation shutters and curved Mediterranean-style balconies. Layouts vary, with some rooms offering direct or indirect ocean views. Standard amenities include free Wi-Fi, a coffee-maker with complimentary coffee, TV with pay-per-view in-room movies, voice mail, a safe and an iron with ironing board.

Recreation

Swaying palms and a pristine coastline paint a postcard perfect setting by the two large outdoor pools. Hungry and thirsty sunbathers at the Beachcomber Resort & Villas belly-up to the tiki bar or order light bites underneath patio umbrellas. Shuffleboard and beach volleyball are on the leisure menu and for traditional workouts, guests can take advantage of free passes to a nearby local gym.

good place for beach vacation

I had three business appointments with Pompano Beach in the center location. The hotel is old and in desperate need of an update. Carpet looks dirty and airconditioner pretty loud. However, if you're just looking for some place to sleep and shower, this is the place. The balcony view is fantastic and the rental for beach chairs, cabanas, etc. is reasonable. The beach is fantastic. Staff seemed pretty friendly.

45th wedding annv.

We came to ft lauderdale for 45th wedding annv. [...] at the check-in was very helpful and made us feel very welcome. Our room was on the 8th floor great view of ocean and pool. Room was very nice bathroom could be a little bigger. [...] in the cafe was so nice, my daughter and her share the same name. We would stay again here, great for family or just a couple. Hated to go home. J. Robinson

Good value for beach access

We mostly stayed at the hotel and went to the beach as it has direct beach access which is great. The beach was beautiful. I would recommend a room on the 2nd floor or above as the 1st floor was a bit noisy, the hotel accomodated us and moved us to the 6th floor with a great ocean view. It was good for the price, room came with a fridge and microwave. Beware though if want to sit directly on the beach you have to pay for their chairs and/or cabana. You can however sit at the pool deck for free. Had a cute outdoor bar, drinks a bit pricey though. Overall I would recommend the Beach Comber.

Money-saving tip: Not Applicable

We saved money by packing our breakfast and lunch and using the hotel's fridge & microwave. Also if you want to see attractions or go out to dinner, renting a car helps. Beware most places make you pay for parking-there are a few restaurants that don't. And I don't recommend using a valet, as they lost the keys to our rental car. What?! Also not paying for a cabana or chairs from the hotel, used the chairs on the pool deck.
