No puede disfrutar mucho porqué tenÃa otras actividades fuera del hotel pero lo poco que vi me encanto
The hotel's best aspect is that it has a pool with beach access but everything else needs work including creating a consistently within the staff. I know that they just had a hurricane but that was not the issue. They have done a great job getting themselves up and running but they need to visit some 4/5 star hotels and see all the areas they need to improve.
Overall good experience right on beach, sold out first day we were there , so harder to get chairs and beach was very busy and noisy. Ac broke in part of building so they upgraded us to a nicer room with a view.
Make sure to book the correct view, or you may end up staring at a wall or a wall of trees instead of the beach. Otherwise, nice hotel.
The hotel is clean, well kept but false advertisement. The resort few doesn't really cover much. Upon arrival they didn't give me the room I paid for. They say that your rooms not ready and give you another room which is not what you paid for. The only good thing is that the hotel is right on the beach.
CHECK IN WAS EASY, THE ROOM WAS VERY CLEAN. NICE LOCATION..GREAT BEACH AND MANY PLACES TO EAT VERY CLOSE BY.... I WOULD STAY THERE AGAIN
stayed with my 2 kids and had great time-on the beach-big swimming pool-close to restaurants-the daily resort fee included beach chairs and bicycles. Parking was a little expensive
Very nice hotel. Private beach was really clean at all times. The staff are very helpful and nice.
Overall, good experience. When booking, make sure you understand how much you'll pay for parking. Make sure guys at front desk do not forget to tell you that you can use your room keys to get out of parking and you do not have to use your credit card. If you rent two rooms and have only one car, make sure you are not charged for parking two cars.
Dried up Blood strains were on sheets, the clean up crew do not give you clean sheets the next morning, instead they use the same sheets from the previous day, they throw the old sheets down on the dirty rug, then they tuck the old fitted sheet back on the bed along with the standard sheet and comforter, to give the appearance they gave you clean linen. This was the first hotel that I have ever stayed on a beach front that did not have a microwave in your room. The hotel front desk told me that if I wanted to heat up my food, I would have to give them my food, and they would heat my food up in the hotel's employee office, totally a reprehensible experience.
The location was great. The hotel itself was older and has its problems
This was my second time staying at B Ocean and I must say it has declined since my first stay. The restaurant staff is absolutely amazing however the carpet in the rooms needs to be cleaned badily, dead plants are in the hallways, the hallway also smells of mildew. The pool closed early for hours at a time for the mermaid show and it wasn't even going on.
Overall, we had a great experience at this hotel. We had a few minor issues that were fixed. I would visit again.
Front desk staff on the day of arrival not as welcoming as our previous stay but everyone and everything else was excellent.
This is a Wonderful Resort! we had a few issues and they will quickly remedied.The management and staff were very accommodating to all our needs. The rooms were clean and modern, but I would've liked to have had a dresser to put your non hanging apparel in.I highly recommend this Resort for a short or long vacation.
Hotel has a nice pool and great beach access! The only issue is, the elevator had issues the whole time, the fire department even had to come to get people out.
Very rude staff. Small rooms. Dirty- hair and dust everywhere.
Resort fee includes 2 lounge chairs but to have an umbrella is $20. So in reality resort fee is $50 a day & parking is $32 a day + tax. Add an additional $80 +tax a day to your room rate & that's what you will pay a day. Nice hotel but definitely not worth the additional fees.
Easy access to beach with chairs included in resort fee a huge plus. Able to uber everywhere very inexpensively. Rooms clean and cool. Beautiful balcony room views....higher in the hotel the better. 'Adult only' infinity pool full of kids...love kids, but we're looking forward to relaxing dip in the beachfront pool that we just didn't even try as a result. Big disappointment there. Wreck bar a classic, gym served its purpose, naked crab buffet breakfast pricey but tasty. Solid 4/5. Manage the pool area as advertised and my review would approach a 5.
When we arrived at the hotel and got to our room, I realized that I had inadvertently reserved a room without an ocean view. I immediately called the hotel desk on the off-chance that there would be an ocean-view room to which we could upgrade. It was a long-shot, but the staff worked hard to help me and within minutes, we were on our way to our beach-view room. It couldn't have been more perfect for us! We were steps away from the pool, the beach, and the bar. :) The overall location of the hotel is splendid for Fort Lauderdale amenities! We enjoyed walking on the beach, shopping and eating right by the ocean, not to mention lounging around in a cabana on the hotel's private beach! The sunsets were breathtaking. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer! We will definitely be back!
