Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort by Vacatia

What guests think

Across many reviews of Beachside Resort Condo! Central Fort Lauderdale Beach. Excellent Location!, guests praise the walkable, near-beach location, spacious condo-style rooms with kitchens and views, friendly staff, while noting aging facilities, inconsistent cleanliness, and occasional maintenance and service issues.

Facilities feel dated; guests frequently mention slow or out-of-service elevators, a small pool and sometimes-closed hot tub, a fun but worn game room, and convenient free parking and a liked pool bar. Cleanliness and upkeep vary by unit, with reports ranging from very clean to odors, stains, pests, and limited housekeeping or towel exchange schedules. Expect a value-focused, condo-style stay in a superb location with trade-offs in age and consistency.

Close to beach. Very busy and only one elevator working made for long waiting when you are on a high floor. Views from either side of the building were beautiful. Lots of room in the condos.

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.

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 Rooms seemed out of date.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.

The position was fine right by the beech the swimming pool was a little small but be aware of the plastic black sun loungers on second floor sun deck very flimsy and poor quality not really for commercial use the hotel for the price was ok but it could do with updating and cleaning properly there is a bad odour everywhere probably from cooking

First room they put us in smelled very strongly of cigarettes and had dirt on the floors and walls. Moved us to another and it smelled less of smoke still had dust all over the ceilings. Bedding is awful. Old faded sheet with holes for a “comforter”. Bed skirt is from the 60s (no joke) and had rips and tears. Gross to think that bed skirt just stays there between all guests. The couch had torn cushions and the mattress for the pull out was also broken. You have to go down to exchange towels and then sit in their staff break room to get them. You can’t do this on weekends-again weird. Hot tub got closed with a sign to call the city about it. Unhoused people using their pool showers and pool towels often. This front desk staff were nice- management does not care about the rooms or run down stuff. Save your money, go somewhere else.

The hotel was dirty inside and out and it wasn’t cheap. Check in is at 4pm and we had to wait 45 minutes to get our room. The lobby was dirty. The elevator was dirty. The hallway into the room was dirty. All the furniture in our room had stains on it and disgusting and the towels were stained too. We put our beach towels down on the sofa so we could sit down. The latch to the sliding glass door was broken, so it wouldn’t lock. This hotel almost looks as if it sits in an alley when we were walking back from the beach I saw two people smoking something illegal. Did not feel safe at all. Two hours later, I checked us out and had reserved another room about a mile down the coast. Horrible horrible experience would never recommend this place.

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.

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 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.

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.

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!!
