Michael provided exceptional service at Boucher Brothers on the beach! Not only was he attentive and friendly from the start, but he went above and beyond to ensure we had the perfect beach day. He set up our chairs, umbrellas, and side tables quickly and with care, making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Throughout the afternoon, he checked in on us and even helped adjust the chairs so we could follow the sun’s warmth. His dedication and genuine kindness made our beach experience truly relaxing and enjoyable. Thank you, Michael! Read less

Great service and attention to detail. This is the only beach spot I’m going to when I visit Fort Lauderdale. The beach squad Aaron, Odios, and the rest of the gang were awesome at the beach chair area. Hotel staff at the loving bar and other locations were also A plus!

Service was impeccable at the pool. Louis and Pierre were amazing! Very helpful. Hotel is outdated. Carpet was wet. They brought a fan to the room, but it made the room smell like mold. Asked them to take it away and it took hours. Offered to move us for an up charge. Asked for the room to be cleaned, never came. We will never stay here again.… Read more

Visiting W Fort Lauderdale is always a treat. This property is consistently amazing in every area, they never miss the mark. This is my favorite property to visit as I know I will have everything I need all in one place: comfortable rooms, lively nightlife, incredible food and beverage, and perfect relaxation at the pool/beach. Fabio and Anthony at Living Room always provide the very best customer service and make each guest feel welcomed and appreciated, especially repeat guests like myself. Gabriel and Raul in the front office are two standouts of my stay. They both made sure that my belated birthday stay was as special as could be. I look forward to visiting this fabulous property again very soon! Read less

The hotel itself was what you expect in a hotel, clean and welcoming. The beach was where we had the best experience with Byron taking care of us, setting up towels, and constantly making sure we were good. I recommend this hotel if you’re looking for a beach stay!
