Beautiful property with such great amenities. Great views!

Close to restaurant and bars.
Sink handle leaked the air conditioner made noise all night.
The resort was beautiful, the staff and location was amazing.
Our room, the bathroom door kept falling off the track, it kept getting stuck to where I was stuck and couldn’t get out several times. Then could only open it one foot. Also my husband fell in the room and I requested a shower chair and portable shower bar and they said they would provide me with those items of never did. We were only there for two nights before a cruise, however we were with three other families and my daughter had what looked like a handicap room, I wish I had requested one, that was my fault for not doing so in advance. I just was not impressed with our room considering the beautiful resort status.
great breakfast
search for ice some floors
Staff was fantastic. Was very clean.
Valet fee was $20/night higher than other nearby hotels. Pool closed too early. Would have liked better variety of cuisine on site. The bathroom door didn’t lock…or even close for that matter. Microwave in room would have been a plus. The extra daily amenities fee for things no one probably ever uses seemed like a total money grab.
The breakfast was great. We were upgraded to a room on the top floor with both beach and harbour views, which were spectacular. The pool was nice, the platform to the beach made it really easy to cross the road & it was good to have the sunbeds on the beach included.
The valet parking. As an average middle-class British citizen, valet parking is not something I am familiar with, so although it is probably completely normal for most people - I didn't like being rushed out of my car, I wanted to pick select things from the trunk to take into the room as we were only staying for one night. Then when we got to the room, I needed 1 small thing from the car which I could normally just have gone out to a car park & got. It wasn't important enough to have the car collected, pay the man a tip and then have it parked back up again, so I really didn't like this service being forced upon me, as there was no other alternative, especially as it was £63/night plus tax and then tips for the drivers.
Elevators very slow
Location Location Location, Vibes, Vibes, just steps away from beach, marina, lots to drink and eat., Hotel is in great location …. Will definitely come back here❤️
the price per night but that’s the economy
Everyone was very courteous
The high price for parking everyday They charged me $50 for early entrance when they told me they would not do
boa localização e estrutura
café da manhã incluso é muito ruim, assim como as pessoas que atendem, muita má vontade.
Property needs some updating. Carpets were old, stained. Glade plug ins, in hallways. Empty. Fire hazard
If you have a rental be prepared yo pay 62 a day to park on the property.
The parking situation
ubicacion
Cambiaron la reserva de una cama KING a una habitacion de 2 camas ya que "era lo unico que habia". Sumado con el costo del parqueo y Resort fee lo demeritan
Location, beach access, pool.
Shower, pillows, breakfast, extremelly noisy, elevator on south tower shakes the whole building when it moves.
The hotel is dated and needs an overhaul. Elevator not working and hotel pool is too small for the size of the property. Hotel is built for corporate guest versus vacationer.
staff were very nice.
Crossing to the beach
The restaurant eat very bad , and the room never balcony, please takeoff the reserva balcony because this hotel no have balcony.
Everything
Nothing
Very disappointed. Primary problem was the mold and mildew in the shower and bathroom. The sloppy calking around the floor tile and grouting were full of mold and mildew. My wife is highly allergic and this felt more like a Motel 6 level of cleanliness and quality. Even after bringing it to hotel staff attention twice, it was not resolved or cleaned properly. The room A/C systems are poorly maintained and were either freezing or the room was covered in condensation. No ventilation for steam in the shower either. Dirty floors, hair and soap residue in the shower made it clear it wasn’t being cleaned often. The condition of the flooring, carpets and even elevators provided further disappointment as this facility was no where near the level expected for a Westin property. It felt more like the Westin took over a foreclosure property and just put up a new sign out front. We will not be staying here again.
German provided truly exceptional valet service. He was professional, courteous, and attentive from the moment we arrived. His warm attitude, efficiency, and attention to detail made the entire experience seamless and welcoming. He went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled perfectly, and his dedication to outstanding service was evident throughout. German is a true asset, and his excellent service made a lasting impression. Thank you, German!
Muy costoso para el servicio que prestan
Excellent experience. Great event space. Restaurant was fabulous for drinks after. Aly at the valet was super helpful for our FLITE Center event. And very nice. Alex was great too. Thank you all.
From Helen at check in to Tyrequ on check out, all the employees were putting out hospitality vibes. Stay was great and clean. The resort fee is stiff for points stay was only downside
The valet staff was excellent
Great experience. Hotel was wonderful Jasmine at front desk was above and beyond great. Really exceptional customer service. Aly and Alex and Rita also really nice and on top of it. Appreciate them all for an outstanding experience.
On the beach
Older hotel with remodeling
Wasn't impressed with the room and to many additional fees. Valet being mandatory wasn't expected
Staying at the Westin was a wonderful experience. The staff, every single one of them, were especially nice and accommodating. Jocelyn who helped us with our bags to our room and Ty from the front desk went above and beyond. Thank you for making our much-needed getaway one of the best!
This hotel seemed completely outdated. For the prices per night I was completely disappointed. The beach area takes your chairs away at 5pm when the sun isn’t even down yet and the beach bar closes. Another issue I had was the rooms were extremely loud and thin walls. Anytime a door shut it sounded like a slam. The biggest issue however was the fact that smells drifted into my room from ajoining rooms. So imagine relaxing on your bed and smelling someones poop from next door… just do better.
Aly provide me an excellent service! 5 stars
Amazing experience all the hotel staff is wonderful and so helpful and accommodating. Storme is something else entirely; goes over and beyond for everyone that walks by. Always eager to offer assistance and help in any way that is needed. Wow! The customer service skills Storme has is nothing that can be taught. This is something that is within the person 100%!!!
We were traveling as a family and booked 2 oceanfront rooms. We were able to get connecting rooms in the south tower on the 5th floor. When we went into one room, we smelled a small chemical smell, and then we went into the second room and it was very strong. We thought we would air it out as we were planning to be out for the afternoon. When we returned the smell was still very strong and we could actually taste chemicals from breathing it. We started to think it may have been bug spray. I called the hotel and asked for a new room. They were quite full. The manager on duty, I believe her name was Kathy, was extremely helpful. She suggested a few options that I didn't care for, and in the end came up with a solution to put us in a suite with 2 rollaways in the large living room to accommodate our teens. At first we weren't sure how well that would work for our family, so she was flexible and accommodating, and told us we could try it the first night and decide to stay or move back to connecting rooms the next day. We ended up staying in the suite and were quite happy there. A big thank you to Kathy for making sure we got a solution we were happy with, it really made a difference in the enjoyment of our trip and left us with a very favorable impression of the hotel. The only other hiccup is that we had a leak one morning, possibly from the AC. We called it in and when we returned to our room several hours later, it was completely fixed. The location of the hotel is great. Walkable to restaurants and CVS. We enjoyed dining at Lona Cocina. Also, for Marriott Bonvoy members who get free breakfast, they give you a sit down breakfast for 2. I have attached the menu - each person can choose 1 option, plus coffee and juice. All in all, a great stay, appreciate the responsiveness of the hotel.

The pool area is very nice. Pedro is incredibly kind. He treated everyone with respect and was constantly engaged with the guests. Beach area is nice with two chairs included. Pedro will give you towels for pool and beach which is perfect.
I will preface this by saying that I’ve stayed in hundreds of hotels due to the requirements of my career from the low end (Hampton Inns, etc) to Ritz Carlton's but mostly Hiltons, Hyatts and Marriotts and their mid- to upper level offerings. I’ve always put Westins a bit above those but, sadly, not this one. We specifically booked this property over others right there up and down the beach simply because it was a Westin. While the location right at (not on, it’s across the street) the beach is great and they have their own elevated walkway across the road and elevator down to the beach, the physical property itself is certainly not up to Westin standards by any means. The staff, however, is well trained and very accommodating. The lobby and reception areas are pretty good but nothing exceptional. The restaurant where we had breakfast is reasonably good and overlooks the beach and road so there is some traffic noise which is to be expected. Breakfast was good but the staff seemed overwhelmed at times but it was the busy season. We aren’t much on pools and didn’t and wouldn’t frequent this one as at the time, it was really crowded and noisy. The whole pool area seemed very dated to us. What was very disappointing, especially for a Westin, was the room…….small by today’s standards which is OK which the decor and amenities could make up for but not in this case. The furniture looked to be twenty years old, banged up and out of date. The bathroom was also small and had a slated door so it was noisy. Our room was way below even Marriott/Hilton standards and, frankly, I’m surprised that Westin would put its name on this property. Frankly, we were glad to have only booked two nights here before moving on.
I met Diego at the pool. He was very pleasant. We talked for a while about family and few different things. I enjoyed our chat. It’s people like him that make a vacation that much nicer.
Great time at the Westin. Jocelyn at the front desk is the absolute best!
We spent a weekend in this super nice hotel, attending an event, and had a great time with people who treated us ina splendid way. At reception, at the beach, at the Lona restaurant (where lots of Latin American people assisted us fantastically!), and then Jocelyn keeping our luggage while eating and going to the beach! Very nice and pleasant! Thanks very much for being so attentive!
The location
For what I paid, the hotel was underwhelming. You pay for the location but the hotel is extremely outdated and rundown. The amenities are also outdated and the gym was a joke. The AC has no heating function, maybe not expected in Florida but the days I was there it was between 68 and 35F. I stayed for 2 nights and paid over 900 dollars. That's a total rip-off for a hotel which was last renovated in the 90s I would say.
Always a great experience at the Westin. The bars and restaurants are always consistent. The server Juan Pablo at Waves is exceptionally attentive, kind, and professional!
Service was awesome thanks to Shanique. Taste the wings!!!
Combined 4 nights business and 1 night on own. Actual hotel is 2 stars. 1 elevator didn't work. Hotel is not updated. Shower head and water heat and pressure was spotty. Mattresses and comforters were nice. Couldn't open (dirty) windows. Amenities limited. No hot tub. Pool small and cold. Hotel food availabilty is extremely limited and sub-par...The Cuban sandwich was the only thing that I had that was good. Conference food excellent. Hotel room was freezing and not adjustable. A man entered my room when I was in there. A beach attendant tried to take away my lounge when I was there less than an hour, even though my drink, towels, and shirt were on the lounge. It was poorly run and uncomfortable experience that I would not repeat. Yes, proximity to the beach is nice, but that there is a gang tag on the elevator...hard pass.
had the most beautiful solo stay at The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort, and it was exactly what I needed. From the moment I arrived, David at the front desk set the tone. He was warm, professional, and incredibly accommodating while helping me get checked in. He made the entire arrival process seamless and was always available whenever I had questions. It’s rare to encounter someone who makes you feel both taken care of and completely at ease — David did exactly that. One of the absolute highlights of my stay was the 6 a.m. sunrise spin class overlooking the beach. Waking up that early on vacation might sound ambitious, but it was 100% worth it. Watching the sun rise over the ocean while riding was such an energizing and grounding way to start the day. If you’re even considering it — do it. The resort itself offers so many great amenities — beautiful beach access, relaxing spaces to unwind, and everything you need to truly reset. For a solo trip focused on rest and restoration, it absolutely delivered. I left feeling refreshed, clear, and recharged. I would gladly return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful yet elevated beach stay.
After returning from a cruise to Panama we decided to add one more day at our favorite hotel in Fort Lauderdale. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate as we caught a day of stormy weather. Fortunately there was another Stirme inside the hotel who is always like a ray of sunshine. Storme is the lone employee who we always look forward to seeing whenever we return to the Westin at Fort Lauderdale Beach. His caring manner & affable personality always shine through whenever we arrive. He never fails to leave us with a memorable trip at the Westin. Keep up the great work!’👍
Shanique was pleasantly attentive. She took great care of my friend and me. I can’t wait to come back. I’ve already told my friends to look for her when they come.
Had a great experience at the pool today. Service was great - ask for Shanique!!!! Also Jorge at the restaurant. Wonderful staff and highly recommend.
Shanique was a great server! Thanks!!
Amazing experience with shanigue
Excellent location, perfect atmosphere, crean and spacious rooms, great services with wonderful people
As soon as I pulled into valet, I needed assistance with my bags and conference materials. Storme was prompt and assisted me with my boxes and dropped them off at my conference location and then was kind enough to bring my luggage up to my room. He’s one of a kind and customer service is his top priority. The Westin is lucky to have an outstanding employee like Storme. Thank you!
Fantastic experience - perfect room, relaxing spa experience and great pool drinks. Everyone was kind and helpful but special shoutout to Herson who remembered details about our group and worked to make our stay fantastic. We’ll be back!
Melva was so helpful and kind to me ! She helped me with the room and the spa . Overall , a wonderful way to spend my birthday!! Enjoyed my time here and will be coming back !
Melva was an absolutely terrific concierge and had a quintessential impact on my girlfriend's birthday experience here at the Westin. She was very accommodating with birthday surprises for my girlfriend, very helpful and knowledgeable of both local establishments around the hotel, hotel services that highly increased the quality of our stay here at the Westin. Melva made our stay here very warm, exciting, and easy, as if we were staying with family. The bell hop attendant shock was also very warm and accommodating with his recommendations for great local restaurants to try out, and his knowledge and personal experience of the hotel throughout his years of tenure here. He brung our bags all the way over to the 2nd tower, entering several elevators and even crossing a sky bridge to assist us to our room in the south tower. The spa experience was incredible. My masseuse, Andrea, and my girlfriend's masseuse, Antonio, were incredibly skilled and efficient in their movements throughout the massage; each transition into the next massage position by Andrea was unbelievably smooth and delightful especially upon the heated bed provided by the spa. The complimentary snacks, spa attire, and beverages, including the cup of wine, were all a lovely touch which heightened the experience for us as well. The valet was very quick and precise in the retrieval and placement of our car whenever we were heading out from or returning to the hotel, opening doors for me and my girlfriend which made us feel special. Our stay at the Westin was a true delight and me and my girlfriend both definitely look forward to coming back again. Thank you, truly, to everyone involved in making this stay so memorable for us
Ewwwwww there was some gross stain on the streets on one of the double beds. The rooms are dated and the check in process is a mess. But…. The beach yoga was great!
From first check in to last check out the staff was impeccable. Ty took care of us before we even arrived and was available to coordinate us coming in and upgrades available to us. The hotel itself is wonderful and we ended up dining at the attached restaurant at least once a day due to how incredible to food the was. The hotel is within walking distance to anything you would need and beach access was a breeze. Have to highlight both Ty and Melva for their continued assistance and excellence throughout our stay. Melva was such a personable and thoughtful individual who made a difference through our stay. Her and Ty give the human connection we all so desperately need more of. Thank you both and the Marriott/Westin team for an amazing experience from start to finish!
Westin Fort lauderdale beach is a great location with the beautiful beach, pool and restaurant right there. We were warmly welcomed by David upon arrival who answered many questions regarding what to see and do, best restaurants in area (Favorite happened to be right at the Westin for Breakfast as well as Dinner....Happy Hour too!!). Water taxi Whistle stop is just a couple blocks away....very convenient.
Can’t say enough about Melva at the front desk—my flight was cancelled and she made everything so easy and come back together from a stressful situation.
Arnoldo in Banquet was attentive, timely, and friendly. He made our company experience wonderful! Thank you, Arnoldo!
I had an extremely disappointing and troubling experience at this hotel. I visited Lona at the end of November, and during my meal, my car was stolen directly from the front drive. The valet stand was unattended, and there was an unsecured box of valet tickets left out in the open. A man who did not work for the hotel took a ticket from the box and stole my vehicle. The box was removed later that same day, yet since then, the valet team has repeatedly refused to acknowledge me or respond to my insurance company despite multiple attempts. If the hotel maintains that they are not liable, then they should have no issue placing the unattended valet ticket box back where it was. It is now nearly February, and I still have no resolution. Security and bar management also failed to intervene, even after bartenders reported concerns about the individual who had been loitering in the restaurant and front drive area. Overall, the service and handling of this situation have been unacceptable.
Aly at Valet was excellent and was the one that made the trip ever so enjoyable. Highly recommend the facility entirely based on how he turned a business trip to a pleasure. Kindness couple with attention to detail to make sure all my needs were met. Not excited about another work trip but with Aly’s customer experience I would highly recommend.
close to ocean
taking 2elevators
Melva was amazing. Great hotel. We had a lovely weekend
Love the ambiance, amenities and accessibility to the surrounding areas.
Customer service (hospitality) they answer on the app but never got it done. TV completely old school and horrible service as well as connectivity. Bed was made very poorly and door was so heavy that you physically had to hold it so it wouldn’t wake up your neighbor when slamming. For a premium ocean view room, it was definitely NOT worth it.
the parking fees to high and with adding the resort fees adds a 100 day fyi
Very clean
Everything was excellent
I’ve stayed at this hotel several times! The staff is very professional and accommodating. I’m usually able to check in early and the rooms are always very clean. I will be returning soon!
We were very disappointed with our stay. We chose this Westin Hotel specifically for its beautiful oceanfront pool and planned to spend the majority of our time there. However, upon check-in, we were informed that multiple private events were scheduled that would prevent regular guests from using the pool. Had we known that the hotel routinely restricts guest access to its amenities in order to sell them to third parties, we would not have booked this property. This was a significant misrepresentation of the experience we expected and greatly impacted our stay.
We always stay at the Westin. Mainly, due to Storme and crew. Every time we visit, he takes such great care of us. We genuinely look forward to seeing him every time we land in Ft Lauderdale.
Always a pleasant stay. Good accommodations, great people—say hi to Storme—he’s the best! Be back soon…
Helpful staff
I just have to say!! Not just the hotel is wonderful! The location is the best! The rooms are impacable! The staff Make It all!!!

Shanique at the pool bar was awesome! Took care of my work colleagues and I with excellent drinks made quickly - and did so with a smile! Thanks Shanique!!
I was so disappointed in the pool at this hotel. It was “jank” (as my kids would say). Cheap lounge chairs, chipping paint, ratty towels, and much too small to accommodate the amount of people. We went to the beach one day and used the pool at another resort. Will not be back.
This hotel was a total disaster from the minute we stepped in. 1. The lock for our safe didn’t work 2. The stopper in the bath tub didn’t work. When we checked in, there was hair everywhere. 3. The water was Yellow. Apparently they are doing maintenance, which is fine but at least Westin should notify guests before they arrive on any ongoing situation . We found out from a small note on the bathroom sink and of course when we saw the colored water in the tub. Our 5 year old has sensitive skin. Her face was half red for most of the night due to whatever it is in the water. 4. This was not all. The worst thing that happened to us were the elevators. The elevators are also getting some kind of upgrade. We were waiting for the elevator. It finally arrived in the lobby. I sent my kids in first (2 & 5 year old). My 2 year old got in, when my 5 year old was at the door, it started closing on her so I pulled her out so she won’t be squashed by the doors. I tried to put my arm to stop the doors to no avail. Their sensors were not working. The door closed and my 2 year old was by herself In the elevator going up and down by herself several times. Behind us there was a hotel employee that did not help. Panicking I went to the front desk and told the lady that had just checked us in of what just had happened but wasn’t helpful much either. I went back to the elevator. And luckily for us a nice guest brought her back down. Our 2 year old was hysterical. She was in shock and traumatized just like us and her older sibling. We couldn’t calm the older sibling either. The hotel employee that was right behind us didn’t do anything, he actually left when he saw the chaos! The receptionist didn’t do anything. Nobody checked on us. Nobody apologized. We didn’t hear anything from them! The different scenarios that went through my mind during that time, no other parent should go through. The crazy part is that during our 2 night stay we heard several people complain on how fast the elevator door closes and how the sensors weren’t working. We will never stay at another Westin hotel again. Why should we stay at a place where no one cares about you or your kids??
I’m sure there are some nice rooms in this hotel but not ours. #542 looks out onto a disgusting white wall. The hair dryer is dirty and completely basic. Check in people are pleasant but of course the room wasn’t ready. Very dated. Would not recommend.
We stayed at the Westin Fort Lauderdale during the holiday season, and unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. Compared to other hotels in the area, this property feels dated and likely originates from the 1960s. Its age is evident in every aspect. Rather than attempting piecemeal updates, the property would benefit from a complete rebuild. Starting with the room, it is severely outdated despite the hotel’s claims of investing in renovations. At best, these updates appear purely cosmetic. The furniture, fixtures, and overall layout feel worn and tired, giving the impression that time has simply passed the hotel by. We paid a premium for an oceanfront view, which ultimately proved to be poor value. The room had no balcony, and the window itself was impractical and not something you would realistically open to enjoy. Paying extra for this so called view was simply not worth it. The issues extended beyond the room as well. The hallways leading to our room had a strong mold odor and felt dark and dingy, further contributing to a sense of neglect. The elevators were frequently delayed with only one operational, forcing us to take the stairs to the lobby through a staircase that was in need of extensive repair. Rather than feeling like a luxury stay, the atmosphere was uncomfortable and uninviting. In terms of service, we requested daily room cleaning at the time of check-in. Despite this request, we experienced repeated issues with our room not being serviced, which was frustrating and detracted from the overall experience. Be warned, if you try calling the front desk, you will be left waiting and waiting because no one answers the phone. For example, we visited the front desk 2x to get an extra bath towel in our room. The pool area is quite basic and offers very limited amenities. While there is a bar, a simple pool, and complimentary towels, there is nothing particularly luxurious about the experience. The only redeeming feature of the property is its proximity to the beach, but this is offered by much nicer resorts. Overall, this hotel does not live up to the Westin name or the expectations associated with it, especially given the many options nearby.
Well in advance of our reservation, I called and spent a considerable amount of time reserving connecting rooms. I was assured we were set, but when we arrived there were no connecting rooms available and the front desk staff seemed to disbelieve that I had made this reservation. No suitable alternatives were offered to accommodate our family, and the staff was not at all apologetic or even friendly. We took two separate rooms as it was late and we didn’t have other options. Then we attempted to order room service dinner via the online option, but the system kept freezing. I next attempted to call room service but was hung up on three times without ever getting connected to in room dining. After that, guest services stopped answering the phone entirely. I am a long time Marriott member and have stayed in many affiliated hotels of different levels within the brand and have never been more disappointed in the service I have received.
The front desk staff were exceptional.
Shanique was absolutely amazing and truly made our experience unforgettable. From the moment we sat down, she took such great care of us and made us feel so welcomed. She gave the best recommendations for both food and cocktails, and every single choice was perfect. She was incredibly attentive without ever being overbearing, always checking in at the right moments. On top of that, her personality is everything. Sweet, outgoing, bubbly, and genuinely happy. Her energy made the whole night even more enjoyable. Shanique is a true gem and a huge asset to your team. We can’t wait to come back and hope to be lucky enough to have her again.
Ava was the best! She made sure I had everything I needed on the beach. She remembered me every day that I came to the beach and knew exactly where I wanted to be on the beach with my umbrella. Informed me about the bar and the full menu they have . Ava made sure to check on me constantly . Making sure I was comfortable and whatever I needed was available.
The Westin was fantastic, the staff, Ava, at the beach, who allocates the chairs, umbrellas, etc , is absolutely amazing and has exceptional customer service!!
When met Storme the day we checked in. He was so welcoming and friendly. We received a spectacular room with large windows overlooking the ocean as well as large windows to see the sun set.
Shanique in the pool bar was amazing so far she’s the only real good experience we’ve had since we arrived but Shanique Eddie, the beach chair dude was rude lazy and obnoxious
The hotel is in a great spot right on a nice section of beach. All the cool restaurants nearby. It is recently remodeled. All that said, it is obviously an old building, probably from the 50s or 60s. It’s hard to remodel one that, narrow halls, small bathrooms, small lobby.
My husband and I were there for our anniversary. We Loved it the hotel and the service. Thank waitress Shanique for the professionalism.
I went to the pool with my mom and Shanique was so attentive! She always checked on us with great service! Shanique had a great attitude and was very friendly.
I recently stayed at The Westin Fort Lauderdale beach resort for 4 nights and it was absolute horrible. I stayed in the North tower room 442 to be exact and the whole room smelled like mold even the hallway leading up to the room. At first I didn’t think of it as we were out most of the day however after the 3rd day I started coughing and my throat was irritated and sneezing. I complained to the management and I changed rooms for the last night. It wasn’t until I came home and unpacked that I noticed all my clothes smelled like mold. I washed them 4 times with vinegar and the baking soda and nothing worked. This is very upsetting, this hotel is infested with mold
