We were very happy with the hotel overall.
Note1 : if you like bar-soap, bring you own.
Note2 : There IS a room safe, but its in the closet at chest level. Meaning that if someone else hung up a bunch of clothes before you did, you won't see it or know its even there. i thought we didn't have a safe until the last day, when the person repacked their clothes and I saw it.
Service was fabulous. Room and balcony were great. Nice view of the beach right from the balcony.
If I had any complaint at all, it would be that the beds were a little too soft. Otherwise, very happy with the room.
Weather (not the hotel's fault) was kind of cold while we were there. So there was a lot of speculating about "is this normal for Ft. Lauderdale in early January?" being the topic of discussion amongst travelers. The consensus was that it was cold, so if you want to guarantee mid-80s weather in January, you have to go farther south (outside the US).
