Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort by Vacatia

What guests think

At Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort by Vacatia, travellers praise the walkable beachside location, spacious condo-style units with kitchens and views, and friendly staff, while recurring downsides include dated interiors, inconsistent housekeeping, slow elevators, and small or sometimes closed amenities.

Many guests like free parking and family-friendly features such as the pool and game room, though Wi‑Fi and maintenance are inconsistent and some equipment is out of order. Expect a practical, budget-friendly stay near the sand rather than a modern, full-service resort.

Property was clean and comfortable and equipped with what you need. Hotel cleaning staff was excessively noisy while caring for room cleaning yelling at times back and forth. Property was very close to beach which we liked very much. The hot tub was broken our entire week stay with no repairman in site to fix it! The hotel staff was helpful and accommodating. Overall a nice stay.

Can't ask for anything more at this price. You want 5 star service go book and pay for 5 star hotel. Great kitchen, amazing beach, neighborhood is great with 24 hour pizzeria and 7/11 across the street. Pool serves the purpose but a bit small. FREE parking is great! This hotel def serves the purpose, specially if you're traveling with kids!

Great location. Rooms seemed out of date. Hallways were dirty. Pool is small, paints peeling along edges and hair all over. Sign says 8 max in the pool. One of the Elevators went down for a day which caused us to wait 30 minutes or use the stairs. Had to put a $40 deposit down on pool towels. And there already towels in the room. Did I say the location was great.

Our room was huge, we had a full kitchen, living room, dining room table two bathroom’s!! great balcony with ocean view. it was very close to the beach, We could walk there very easily, and the parking was free, most hotels around there were $50 a night just to park! We were very pleased and will stay there again.

I loved our room with an ocean view. As a former resident of Ft. Lauderdale, THIS is the location where I wanted to be- it is perfect for walking to the beach and having access to the event that was taking place that weekend on the beach. The amenities were run down- nice concept to have a game room for the family, but some of the games were broken. The hot tub was out of order, but the pool was fine. I love the nostalgia of this property, and the parking. If they just fix up the game/family room area, it would be great.

Cleanliness

Reports are mixed: many guests found rooms clean, but others noted odors, stained or worn furnishings, dirty hallways/carpets, and occasional pests. Limited housekeeping and restricted towel exchange contribute to inconsistent upkeep.

The furniture in the rooms is DISGUSTING! we’ve gone here in the past 7 years and NOTHING has changed. The couches and chairs have so many stains and the pullout couch was pee stained and not even useable. The beds are not comfortable it was like sleeping on a pile of rocks. All the money you get for rooms you think you would want to update and keep people coming. A bunch of people were complaining about the rooms furniture and cleanliness. The cleaning staff should also do better, there’s no reason i should find others hair and leftovers in a “cleaned” room.

Property is old and run down. Hot tub was not working…roped off with green water. Our condo smelled like a nursing home. We checked in on a Thursday evening and were given towels and wash cloths for one day. Room service did not replace them so after two days, I went to the front desk to ask for clean ones, only to be told they do not replace towels Friday through Sunday. Our options were to use dirty towels/wash cloths for 4 days, or pay to launder them, so obviously I had to launder them which ended up costing me $10 because that was the minimum amount to add to the online service the hotel laundromat uses (even though the machines themselves only cost $2 per load). If you’re looking for a cheap motel and are ok with a slightly clean rundown place, this is for you. If not, definitely look elsewhere.

Featured as an amenity, WiFi was so poor that we NEVER could use our computer inside our room, it didn't even work with the TV, so we could not watch Netflix for instance. An time we needed to use a computer, we had to get down to te Lobby

The location was on point. So close to the beach!! Groceries and lots of dining options very close by!! The grounds were well landscaped and maintained. Lots of parking available on site. Staff were friendly. The building was a little outdated as far as decor but clean and very “beachy” feel. The room was exactly as advertised and perfect!! All appliances operational and clean. Amazing balcony/ocean view!! My only issue with the room is that the Murphy bed and fold out couch bed would be on top of each other if both utilized/pulled out. Not very user friendly if actually fully needed. We would have had to fully rearrange all of the furniture/dining table to be able to use both but luckily we didn’t rely on both. We had a very good experience and would highly recommend staying here!!

The room we were in had an adjoining door, around 9ish there was people talking very loud it sounded like they were in our room. Then all of sudden I here this banging and my husband woke up I said it sounds like it's in the room. I got up to check it out and the maintenance guy and the people staying in that room was standing in our room changing the lock to the adjoining door, he said he didn't realize we were in that room and instead of stopping what he was doing and shut the door he continued to beat on the lock, mind you we asked him to stop because we had two small children sleeping but he didn't care just kept beating on the lock. It was unacceptable. Other than that the room was nice and clean.

Maintenance came quickly and sprayed the kitchen buy they were in the livingroom and bathroom. On day 5, I received a call asking did I check out. I said no and postponed my plans and decided to go back. We walk in my stuff was gone. I went to the office and they were apologetic and reimbursed me but this is an experience I never want to experience again.

The views were amazing! Quick walk to the beach and awesome restaurants. Parking was safe and easily accessible, the room was really clean and kitchen was stocked with dishes and everything you needed to cook. My only drawbacks are a little minor. Furniture was a little dated and scuffed, I had to fix the shower door because the channel was knocked off or something, and I couldn't figure out how to turn on the ceiling fan in the bedroom so it was a little warm unless you turn the ac down further than what is set when you first come in. Otherwise, I highly recommend and will be back!

The reservation and check-in process went well. I did not receive the email with check-in directions as they state will be sent prior to check-in. However, did not encounter any issues when arriving at the property. Having parking on-site and included in the cost is HUGE as in Ft. Lauderdale everyone adds or charges in addition for parking. Very walkable and close in proximity to both food and activities. The only small, but not an issue as they do not allow for any late check-outs on weekend days and they consider Friday the weekend.

Overall, our stay at this resort was great, especially for the price. Many small restaurants and bars are withing a 2-minute walk, and the main strip of Fort Lauderdale beach is only about a 25 minute walk straight south. The condition of the property was good, but it could use some updating. The service was excellent, the front desk was very helpful in providing everything necessary for the stay (toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, dishwasher pods, etc.). It was very nice having a kitchen in the room, pots, pans, cooking utensils, etc. were all present in the kitchen.
