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!
The check in staff was great however the check out agent was not very attentive, overall the stay was amazing our view was amazing we stayed in the Clipper Double Tower, the staff throughout the hotel was very nice I cannot wait to return, one thing I would say is with the rooms being newly renovated they could be much bigger, depending on the room they are quiet small but not uncomfortably small
Everything except for fixing tile at 3 in the morning in the main lobby
Stood in line for 45 minutes to check in. I reserved a room with 2 double beds and was told that they would give me a "Complimentry" upgrade to a bigger room with a king and sofa bed. I declined and was told they did not have 2 beds available. Asked how long the wait would be for the 2 bed room and then wouldn't you know it they had one ready. Once I arrived to the room it made sense... Friday night and poolside. They knew they could get more money for that room then what I paid. My kids were thrilled to be poolside but little did we know the pool would close 5 minutes after are arrival! We were told by security that the pool closed at 5:00 for the mermaid show. My daughter eyes lit up! Well come time for the mermaid show we were told we could not be on the pool deck to watch! Are you kidding me! 9:30 came around and sure enough another show only this time it was a Burlesque show! Between the shows we tried to go down to the beach and relax on the "Complimentry" beach chairs. Well that lasted a whole 10 minutes before our chairs were taken away stating they were being out away for the night. Definitely would not recommend this place for families unless you want to be confined to your room!
Nice hotel for the price. Right on the beach! About a 20 minute walk to the strip. Not many bad things to say other than the sink in our room was a little clogged. Very happy with our stay. We would stay again.
Beautiful!! Can't wait to return! All the staff/employees were great. We enjoyed every minute.
Incredible facilities.expancive beach views and access. Pool and food were amazing. Staff is amazing. Only complaint you have to pay $20. Per day for an umbrella
Overall very pleasant experience. The beds were comfortable, the staff is very friendly, and the attached restaurant has delicious food.
Hotel was awesome make sure to go to the to do deck pool you can see through the bar!
Great staff, great service! Whenever we needed assistance, the staff went above and BEYOND to make accommodations.
I stayed five days, for two days they did not do room service, very small bathroom, room there was no counter to put clothes on, all this, hotel and normal.
I love that the hotel has a private beach. The beach closes st 5pm which is a bummer though. Enjoying the beach after 5pm is relaxing.
The B Ocean resort was the best place I have stayed I love that the beach was the best you get a free chair every day to free chairs every day and you get food and drinks services right to you while you're sitting on the beach the price was amazing for everything that they had and there are mermaids that swim at one of the restaurant/bars that are there the seafood and steak or amazing everything I ate and drink there was amazing all the staff was really really friendly made sure I had what I needed at all times The room was one of the cleanest rooms I have ever stayed in a very clean nice and fun place I most definitely will be back especially for the price you would think it would be a lot more because of How well the place is taken care of and how nice it is thank you for everything while I stayed I enjoyed myself it was amazing
One night stay was disaster. Toilet and tub back up. When we called housekeeping, worker stated he would need to break the wall behind the toilet to fix condition. This apparently was an existing condition. Room smelled and he said it was hazardous to our health! I do not recommend this hotel as they are deceiving costumers.

Kristine, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us and for staying at B Ocean. We are sorry for the confusion while checking in, we know the last thing you want to experience when you first start your vacation is a long wait and issues with your room. We also are sorry that guests are not allowed to observe the show from the deck, in order to ensure the "magic" is present it is best that the show me viewed from our world famous wreck bar. We are also sorry the beach times were not better communicated to you and that you felt you couldn't experience the beach the way you wanted. We hope that you will B able to come visit us again soon so we can ensure you are your have a wonderful experience. B Well!
Good Day, Thank you for staying at B Ocean and for taking the time to share your experience with us, we are sorry that during your arrival to the hotel you felt that our staff was not as welcoming as normal! Please B sure to come see us again! B Well!
