I would like it on the water but it doesn’t have to be. Thanks! Hyatt Place on 10th, next to the Embassy Suites/Outback Steakhouse. A few long blocks from the pier. On the water, Marriott Harbor Beach.....$$$$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelers36 Posted October 19, 2015 #3 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Crowne Plaza on Rt 84 @ US 1. Can't beat the location. Nice hotel. But it's been getting pricy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdsqrl Posted October 19, 2015 #4 Share Posted October 19, 2015 The Hilton Ft. Lauderdale Marina is right on the ICW, with a great view of the port. The Renaissance has excellent water/port views from the upper floors -- and is right next door to a Starbucks -- but has very small rooms. If you want to stay on the beach, I'd recommend the Marriott Harbor Beach Resort or the Lago del Mar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treven Posted October 19, 2015 #6 Share Posted October 19, 2015 My preference is the Marriott Renaissance on 17th St. Close to just about everything you'd want or need while staying in FLL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam.Seattle Posted October 19, 2015 #7 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I just discovered this place... looking forward to staying at Lago Mar soon. Following is copied from thier web site. Welcome to a Ft Lauderdale beachfront resort that is decidedly, and purposefully, different. Understated, not loud. Gracious, not pretentious. Deferential, not presumptuous. In short, a sophisticated retreat where you can appreciate the enduring traditions of genuine hospitality. With its spectacular 500-foot private beach and secluded location encompassing 10 acres in the exclusive Harbor Beach neighborhood of Fort Lauderdale, Lago Mar Resort & Club invites you to discover one of the best vacation resorts to stay in the world.

Lidolounger Posted October 19, 2015 #9 Share Posted October 19, 2015 We like the Bahia Mar. It has a marina, access via walkway over 1A directly to beach. They also have a small deli onsite and is near the water taxi stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruiser Who Knows Nothing Posted October 19, 2015 #14 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Marriott in Hollywood or the Marriott Harbor Beach. We stay at the Hollywood one when we want lots of action and great people watching, it's literally on the sand. We stay at Harbor Beach when we just want to chill and relax.

Rare curlybelle2 Posted October 21, 2015 Author #15 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Thanks everyone for your suggestions and input. We are looking for a clean hotel with nice pool area, with free breakfast for $200ish I have been looking and the hotels are more expensive than I realized. :eek: thanks again.

chriscec2012 Posted October 21, 2015 #17 Share Posted October 21, 2015 We were offered a deal for a cruise Nov 8 that we couldn't turn down but now our only problem is a hotel in FLL too. The hotels mentioned in the $200 range are $300-400+ because of a boat show :confused: So can anyone recommend something maybe a little further away but not too far by chance? (Sorry to use your thread but didn't want to start a new one just in case you needed more hotel info too :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murphy Posted October 22, 2015 #19 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Lago Mar is my absolute favorite. Fab rooms, fab pool and you can watch the ships depart. Heaven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fflashh Posted October 22, 2015 #20 Share Posted October 22, 2015 We are doing a 7 night cruise out of Miami on the Celebrity Reflection on Saturday, 28 Nov. 2015. We are flying in early (Friday the 27th) to FLL on Southwest, to enjoy the day before in Florida. We booked the Riptide Hotel in Hollywood, Fl. on the broadwalk for that night. Transportation to the Riptide from FLL is on us. Possibly a taxi, maybe a bus, if convenient. Riptide looks like fun with a tiki bar and entertainment right on the beach. We are using MJS Transportation for our round trip to the POM. ($15 pp each way.) Same as the return from the ship with MJS. They will pick us up at the port and take us to the FLL airport. From there, we will use the free airport transportation services of Rodeway Inn & Suites near the airport, but listed as Dania, FL. We have a day room there ($59.99 from 9 or 10AM - 6PM.) This fits our desire to stay in the sun a bit longer after out Reflection cruise, and the free shuttle gets us back to the airport for our 7pm flight home. We have not used these two hotels before, but I have done my homework with Tripadvisor and cruise critic and feel pretty confident this will pull together and allow us, 1) to save money flying into FLL instead of MIA, 2) give us a cost effective shuttle from our hotel to the POM and back to the airport, and 3) enjoy both a pre-cruise day at the beach and have a dayroom post-cruise to enjoy before our 7pm flight home. Hope this works well for us, AND gives some readers ideas for extending their cruises and satisfying their transportation difficulties. :) fflashh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
