smch916 Posted March 11, 2009 #1 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hi, Could some one tell me if this hotel is on the beach. The website shows an arial picture that makes it look like it is but they don't mention it actually being on the beach, just a pool. So someone who has stayed there or been there, could you confirm or deny? I got a price of $150 but would really like to spend my 2 days post cruise at the beach. Thanks in advance!

royalcruz Posted March 11, 2009 #3 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Marriott Beach Place is in a great location right across the street from the beach with lots of shops and restaurants around it. The only Fort Lauderdale Hotels on the beach that I can think of are not in the area where all the action is, but they are: Lago Mar Marriott Harbor Beach Pelican Beach Resort Ocean Manor Resort Ocean Sky Personally, I would go with the moderately priced hotels across the street from the beach in the middle of everything: Beach Place, Courtyard, or Bahia Mar. It sounds like you got a great price for Beach Place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcipilot Posted March 13, 2009 #5 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I've enjoyed the place a couple of stays. At check in see if they can give you a whole timeshare unit. They rent out what they call a lockoff which is just the bedroom part of a unit with its own fridge/ microwave. I like the view from the high floors facing east or west. BPT sits on top of a 5 story parking deck which can take a while to get in & out of. Enjoy you stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalcruz Posted March 13, 2009 #6 Share Posted March 13, 2009 When I stayed there I got a living room, kitchen, bedroom, and huge bathroom with jacuzzi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are 15-20 minutes from downtown Fort Lauderdale, but they are still in Fort Lauderdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
