Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The hotel is very good; my dissatisfaction is with Booking.com. They confirmed my reservation at the Holiday Inn, but when I arrived, there was no booking. This happened in New York in June, and I’ve decided not to do business with them anymore.
Das Zimmer und der Strand
Das Restaurant ist leider sehr schlecht am Strand
nice location beach staff/bar/restaurant staff were great. manager on duty was a real sh.. tried changing my room. He wanted to charge me a higher price than I showed him. It was Online wasn’t going for it.
pictures online need to be updated. It also says it has EV charging it does not there’s one charger around the corner that charges four times the normal rate driving an electric car. That is a big problem.
The staff very friendly
Everything was good
All of it
They could use a nice restaurant in there
Localización y la tranquilidad
La habitación solicitada y asignada fue para una persona con movilidad reducida, lo cual estuvo bien,pero falta un tocador o repisa en el baño para poder ubicar los elementos de aseo personal
The resort is very nice and clean! Has a boutique feel. I like that there is a food shopping center within walking distance among other retail locations. Very convenient.
The room was very spacious and clean. The pool very nice.
The parking - expensive although was not in season and was almost empty
The place is a good value for the money.
Parts of it is very outdated. They are working on it currently. The location is kinda far from the central hub of tourist sites
Me encantó , es la segunda vez q voy
N/A
It was by the ocean
BUYER BEWARE! I could not stay there after check in due to loss of power there there was no electricity or hot water. My stay was pre paid by booking and both parties refuse to give me back full refund after multiple times of trying to get my refund back. I had to book another stay somewhere else for the remainder of the days. They refuse to refund because it is non refundable but could stay policy. 😖 Don’t go there
La playa
A ver : No hubo electricidad el dia que llegamos hasta el dia siguiente a las1.00pm. Despues nuevamente al dia siguiente tampoco hubo electricidad , es decir dos dias. Luego no habia señal en la TV y la gente de COMCAST estuvo los dos dias tratando de arreglar el tema sin exito. Como comprenderan .....todo un desastre por los acontecimientos. La actitud de la gestion considero que fue nefasta, ya que si sucedio lo indicado debio dar auque sea un gesto si no una exoneracion en el servicio de uso de la playa en la arena ( resort) que no se usa por solo poner tu toalla en la arena??? El sitio me gusta aunque muy basico .
Clean and they cleaned the rooms daily with fresh towels
Read the fine print it’s not exactly beach front from the bungalows m. If you’re lower level you can’t see beach from room and they make it seem like you have your own pool and you don’t. Adult pool is what the description should say. And the adult only pool closes before regular pool.
Me gustó todo , las habitaciones muy limpias y cómodas. La piscina muy limpia , la cercanía a la playa y a muchos lugares
N/A
La ubicación y el servicio de playa
Instalaciones antiguas, falta remodelar, ni había TV, agua caliente ni teléfono. Me cambiaron a una habitación más grande pero muy simple
La habitacion era super comoda y el acceso a la playa era a pasos de la habitacion. Tambien que la estadia incluya silla y sombrilla en la playa fue fundamental.
El estar en la playa
Location
Towels at the beach or pool need replacement. Room can use a closet, dresser or hanging racks. We stayed at the bungalow area,
Julio was great at check-in period Juliet was very informative and helpful at the bar. Suzette and Marie were great at the checkout. All in all I had a wonderful time And most importantly My wife Was very pleased.
Did not like having an extra charge for parking.
Emplacement
Hôtel un peu vieux, chambre très simple sans équipement
Awesome location, and loved the adult pool and food/bar on the beach.
Our air conditioner in the bungalow wasn’t working that well. Also there was an annoying dog that barked all the time. The bungalow should be for guests 21 and over and kids were staying in the rooms.
Location to beach and nightlife
Outdated
Prima hotel voor 1 nacht op doorreis
La buena vibra
Necesita la más limpieza la habitación y el baño , olía un poco mal
Beach access right on the beach, this place is a hidden gem I would say.
Das Hotel ist sehr gut und die Lage am Meer ist perfekt. Alle waren sehr freundlich und sehr nett. Kommen sehr gerne wieder.
The only things that made the stay enjoyable were the hotel itself. The location is excellent, the pool area has a great atmosphere, the food is good, and the staff is outstanding. Every employee I met was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely worked hard to provide excellent service. Unfortunately, those positives weren't enough to make up for the bungalow experience.
After staying in the One King Bed Bungalow, I honestly wouldn't book this room again. For the price, I expected something unique and comfortable, but the room was the complete opposite. It was extremely small, unattractive, and far less impressive than the photos suggest. The bathroom was especially disappointing. There is almost no counter space to place a toothbrush, toiletries, or personal items, making it very inconvenient for more than a one-night stay. Although the room includes a coffee maker, there's still no microwave, which is another unnecessary inconvenience. The soundproofing is poor. You can clearly hear conversations from the neighboring room, making it difficult to relax or sleep peacefully. I was also disappointed that the "private" plunge pool uses salt water. Personally, I didn't find it enjoyable or worth paying extra for. Honestly, I'd recommend booking a standard room in the main building instead. It will likely be less expensive, more spacious, more comfortable, and a much better overall value. In my opinion, the One King Bed Bungalow simply doesn't justify its price. I expected a premium experience but left feeling very disappointed.
The hotel's location is excellent. The beach is just steps away, and the overall atmosphere is one of its biggest strengths. The pool area is very nice, and during my stay there was live entertainment and music, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The food and drinks served by the pool were very good. The best part of the hotel, however, is definitely the staff. Every employee I interacted with was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely seemed to care about providing great service. Overall, the hotel has a fun, relaxed vibe that makes it enjoyable to stay.
My biggest disappointment was how the beach umbrellas are handled. They remove them as soon as there's even a slight breeze. I completely understand safety concerns, but on several occasions the wind was barely noticeable, and being left without any shade under the Florida sun makes spending time on the beach very uncomfortable. The soundproofing between rooms also needs improvement. I turned on my hair dryer, and shortly afterward someone knocked on my door asking me to lower my TV volume—even though the TV was muted. If a neighboring room can clearly hear a hair dryer, the walls simply aren't insulated well enough. Another downside was the lack of both a microwave and a coffee maker in the room. Those are basic amenities that many hotels provide today. Lastly, many of the chairs and couches throughout the property were heavily stained. They may have been clean, but they looked worn and unpleasant. I also wish the TVs supported streaming apps like Netflix. Overall, I enjoyed my stay because of the great atmosphere and outstanding staff, but there are several details that should be improved for the price.
Very clean
Not Much
The Noise, bed was uncomfortable, guests in the Bungalows were very Noisy Rude
Location
Carpeted floors are not hygienic in the rooms because many people books the rooms every day. . Hotels should use tile flooring instead of carpet. Tile floors is cleaner
Beachfront
Nothing
Staff they are so sweet and professionals
Restaurant more available options to eat inside of the hotel.
Le personnel très gentil et dévoué On répond à nos demande quand c'est disponible Les bouteilleslles d'eau à volonté La proximité de la piscine et la plage et du salon d'ongle
L'eau de la piscine était un peu brouillé car son PH n'était pas adéquat Une petite machine à café dans la chambre Le ménage de la chambre tardivement Le prix est très dispendieux en Février
Beach bar had nice views
Room was a nice size but sparsely furnished. Room with the ocean view has a volleyball net right outside. People played until after 10, telling and screaming in the dark.
La atención y las personas del restaurante y en general todos fue súper bueno
Que no le ponen cafetera a las habitaciones
The property is amazing
Everything is good with the property
Beach front room. Available restaurants .
Elevator looks run down. Did not have enough help staff present were excellent.
Great location with balcony overlooking the beach!
N/A
Die direkte Lage am Strand war gut, auch dass pro Zimmer zwei Liegen und ein Sonnenschirm inklusive waren. Geräumige Zimmer, gerade mit mehreren Koffern von Vorteil. Ein Supermarkt war ebenfalls in drei Minuten fußläufig erreichbar.
Während unseres Besuchs waren sehr viele Algen am Strand und im Wasser. Die Fliesen im Bad waren teilweise etwas lose und gebrochen.
Beach convenience
Lobby A little older, but otherwise very nice
The bar and beach access was very nice.
The main lobby was very nice but the carpet was old where our room was located. Also, the beach access was not open early in the morning.
Location to stores Last minute reservations and price was good.
Restaurant was not good, no water available when needed We did not know there were several buildings and we were not staying on the beach
Great location right on the beach!
Nothing.
Staff are so friendly and helpful. Suzette, Kent and Eugene were all wonderful! The property is very well maintained, the pool is always being cleaned, plenty of chairs available by the pool, toiletries in the bathroom are great! Fruit infused water in the lobby is a plus and some days there was complimentary juice made on site that they offered in the lobby by the check in desk. Our balcony was lovely to have. I felt very safe and comfortable in the area—you have to wear a plastic bracelet for duration of your stay but it’s reassuring to know that random people from the street can’t come in and use the pool or facilities. No fuss when I asked to check out at 12pm! Staff was wonderful in helping get me an umbrella on the beach and were super attentive (Shaun and Tim thank you!) Publix is literally across the street, along with Dunkin and CVS! We didn’t make it to the local restaurants and stores in town by the water but we loved this place so much we are coming back in September to check it all out!
The mini fridge in our room is very small. They can easily fit a larger one in the huge space we had. A coffee maker in the room would make it so much better but I understand they are running a business and there is a coffee shop in the island tower lobby that serves fresh coffee, drinks and even a huge assortment of ice creams for purchase. Tons of red seaweed in the ocean but that’s Mother Nature and nothing the property can control.
The room had an ocean view. Walking distance to the beach.
The mandatory $25 +tax parking fee.
The resort is fantastic. Unfortunately unable to go to the water due to the seaweed!
The water at the beach and the pool water too hot
Location, staff were pleasant and helpful.
Location, beach, free bikes to use, restaurant on site. The decor is so cute and the amenities were great. We loved everything. It is walkable to restaurants and beach stores. Our teens loved there was a volleyball court on the beach
We loved everything about this place.
Ocean view room was very nice. A nice touch was having Eugene so us to our room. Eugene was very nice and told us of some of the recent renovations.
It was unusual not to have a coffee maker in the room. The pool bar was nice to have as an option but the bar area smelled so bad we could not stand to sit at the bar or in the tables near by. The garbage cans in the hall near the elevator were full and not emptied at any point during our 2 night stay. The front desk staff were friendly but the check in process is very slow.
Small hotel with easy parking near the shore at the peaceful Lauderdale by the Sea. Staff is extremely and authentically attentive. We were greeted by Jessica and Suzette at the front desk who were extremely courteous and pleasant, very professional. Our room was made daily by Elaine, a sweetheart. Very pleasing people. I can’t wait to return. It’s also worth to mention the quality of the breakfast at Octopus and their waitresses.
The decoration of the walls and colors and the carpet needs to be changed.
We loved Plunge
The best place for happiness!
The beach view requested was not available upon check in so they upgraded to a suite which was not ocean view but spacious.
I would have liked an ocean view room to go to patio
Location the suite size amazing and reasonable I only wish I could be ocean front The stuff people amazing all of them They decorated my room really nice for our honeymoon night !
It could be a little more clean specially the carpet on the hallway need a very good clean even a replacement
The staff and the view
The bathroom was not very clean and in need of attention
Friendly Staff, from front desk to cleaning ladies and towells/ umbrellas guys. Ocean front Bungalows, complimentary beach seats and umbrellas, excellence staff service!, water and ice daily , quiet place, pool just for adults and other for families with kids. There are options for breakfast and drinks/food by the pool
It was a great location
That a microwave was not in the facility.
Andre was the utmost with helpfulness. As well as Jose. Jose made SURE I had everything I needed and we were well taken care of. The front desk staff was absolutely the best. So accommodating & the room was so close to beach, and it was spotless.
The young guy at the beach bar was just alright. Never in a hurry. And we never felt like they needed our business. Food at bar was just okay. There was a girl working there too-someone’s she was nice, & sometimes she just wasn’t.
Ubicación y atención . Tenía todo lo que buscábamos
Que limpiaron la habitación día por medio
The beach and gym were wonderful
I paid extra for a bungalow but it was a first floor chalet
The location is perfect for walking, Everything is a short distance away. The staff is always super friendly and Helpful Suzette is just awesome ! They have great Bar staff Brian, Lynn, Cindy
Beautiful entrance, welcoming lobby and staff,fantastic location was peaceful, walking distance from restaurants, private/easy accessibility to beach, complimentary beach chairs (loved the amenities), gym with free waters, and use of bikes.
Shower only had two settings: hot or boiling hot 😭🔥The carpet is really old, them felt uncomfortably like “elementary school”, and is that a photograph of Ed Gein on the fifth floor ????? Also there were ants 🐜 🤢 The desks were basic wood… very odd.
Super Lage zum Strand City und Märkte zu Fuss erreichbar. Aussicht auf den Atlantik
Unfreundlicher Empfang Irgendwie hatten wir das Gefühl, dass mit unserem Zimmer nicht stimmte.. Wir haben dann nach langem warten, und nach Freigabe vom Manager, doch noch ein Zimmer mit Meersicht bekommen. Leider wurde mein Verdacht bestätigt. WC Spühlung funktionierte nicht richtig. Klimaanlage war defekt (lief nur mit Vollkühlung weil Temeratursensor defekt). Interessierte bei der Reklamtion niemanden. Der gehobene Preis stimmt mit dem Erlebten nicht überrein. Nicht genügend Badetücher für 3 Personen im Badezimmer. Zimmer in die Jahre gekommen.
Ligt vlak aan het strand met mooi zwembad . Gezellig hotel

Coffee and Tea was not Available after Breakfast .. This is something they should consider.
Right o. The beach..
Only think I didn’t like was we to had to go across to another hotel lobby to get coffee..
Location and pool and main floor
Rooms were damp and smelled of mold
The pool and beach were great, service at the pool was excellent.The staff at the pool were friendly and took care of all our requests,
The room was comfortable. It was quiet, yet I discovered there were families on my floor!
Breakfast was not included, but room service was available and they have a coffee shop in the lobby.
Fronkdesck atencion suzzete
Alfonbra sucia de hall
The location is great. Close to the beach and grocery store. The front desk staff is very friendly, polite, and professional. Beach chairs and umbrellas available for use. Cute coffee shot in loby.
This property should be condemned. The balconies are being held up with structural pilling s tools for it not to be falling down. Honestly, I thought about checking out. The facilities are filthy dirty. The bathrooms have black mold and rust . Carpets are soiled with dirt and grime. Garbage and towels all over the property a
I loved that the location was right on the beach. The staff were amazing! The hotel was always kept clean! Beach chairs are provided daily which was a plus for me. The bar food was good!
😟 I was extremely disappointed with my stay at this hotel. While the staff was friendly and did their best to be accommodating, the condition of the property was unacceptable and overshadowed any positive aspects of the experience. The hotel's beachfront location is its only real saving grace. Unfortunately, once you step inside, it's clear that the property is badly in need of major renovations. The hallway carpets were old, heavily stained, and appeared dirty. The dark blue paint throughout the hotel made the entire atmosphere feel dark, outdated, and dingy. Several pieces of furniture in my room were worn, damaged, and should have been replaced long ago. I was so uncomfortable with my room that I requested to be moved, but I was told the hotel was fully booked. As a result, I spent as much time as possible away from the room and on the beach. Instead of enjoying my accommodations, I found myself counting down the days until I could leave. For the price paid, I expected a much cleaner, more updated, and comfortable environment. The location alone cannot make up for the poor condition of the property. Until significant renovations are completed, I would not recommend staying here.
Все плохо
Location was great and laid back atmosphere was enjoyed. Very close to the water and restaurants
The parking with a paid room was expensive and beds were not very comfortable
La ubicación , el mar increíble y el personal muy atento!
Right on the docks for fishing…..
The little beach was full of seaweed and unseeable! Didn’t use the pool…..it looked fine!
To stay with my pet.
this is my fourth ye
The staff were friendly. It had a nice location to the beach and local shopping and dining.
There was a horrible smell in our building. The bed was rock hard.
Staff was extremely friendly and helpful.
Umbrellas were not available for the beach on 3 of 4 days we were there. Winds were what I would consider light, 10-15 mph, and ALL other properties along the LBTS beach had their umbrellas out, but not the Plunge! Their umbrellas don’t have screws to hold them in the sand, so they won’t put them out if there is any wind!!! Bungalow king room was decent, but no view whatsoever and furniture was lacking. There was NO closet, no vanity in the bathroom, the only lamp in the room was a small handmade lamp next to the bed. Air conditioning was good, relatively quiet, but ceiling fan controls didn’t work for speed, simply on and off, luckily it was on low. Bungalow pool was very nice and peaceful. Main pool was large and very busy. Bar was really fun, but food and drinks were a bit limited and expensive, though not too bad.
