The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort

May not be a major issue for some, but for people like me with diet restrictions (celiac), a microwave in the room would have been very helpful. I requested one in my room, but they couldn't comply. They directed me to a shared microwave in the lobby. To reach the microwave, I had to take the elevator down 10 floors, across an expansive lobby, across a bridge and down a spiral set of steps. This isn't the first Marriott where this request has been turned down, but they were made available at other Marriott properties. I think they could have done better. This isn't anything major to cast a dark cloud over this resort. It is very well maintained, very contemporary in its furnishings, and in a very good location, within walking distance to other restaurants and shops.

As a Titanium with with Marriott I have never experienced anything like this. I flew in on Friday with my son for what we thought would be a great weekend only to be informed AT CHECKIN that the pool would close every day during our stay at 2pm for a private festival. Unacceptable! I travel enough to know that properties email their booked guest all the time to give them a heads up on things that might impact their stay: construction, remodels, restaurant closures, etc. There was NO notice given which means that they only concern themselves with occupancy rates rather than the care and comfort of their guests. I was offered by a manager comped resort fees or they that could cancel my reservation for no penalty. Right.....I just flew into Fort Lauderdale for a trip with my son and I am really going to search for another option. I have never, EVER, in my travels, encountered anything like this. The worst part is....management and ownership are just shrugging it off. NEVER AGAIN HERE!

I was extremely disappointed by this hotel. I’m a platinum Marriott member and I’m rethinking why.
The check-in process was very easy, the front desk staff, lovely and the valet staff very nice and fast to get your car.
Major issues…
The bathroom has a window that opens into the bedroom and only has a shutter door for closure. This is the most unnecessary feature in a hotel room.
The air conditioner does not stay on. It gets hot in the room all night.
We were put in a room that had a joining room door and we could hear everything from the room next door.
The bathroom shower handle was broken and the water went from freezing to scalding hot and nothing in between.
This was the most uncomfortable stay I’ve ever had at a hotel.
There is a $42 daily resort fee and all you get is 1 free bottle of water, 2 beach chairs and some towels at the pool.
The gift for being a platinum member is points or breakfast, I chose breakfast and it is coffee, juice, fruit and a croissant. The fruit is awful and the coffee is so strong hopefully your stomachs can handle it.
I don’t recommend this place.

I live on Fort Lauderdale Beach in a wonderful boutique building - but when my husband and I are having a one night getaway and leaving our two year old with my mom - we want to stay near. So … we choose the Westin and it is always a hit. There are many hotels to choose from but we keeping going back to Westin because it is a sure thing. We always have a great room with all ocean gorgeous view. Room is fresh and clean. Staff is excellent with great attitudes and professional customer service. Amenities are fantastic and delicious trendy restaurant options with perfect water views. Close enough to all the hustle and bustle upbeat touristy fun spots but just a quick walk away to get back into a more relaxing vibe. Very good pricing on rooms for what you receive as well.

This hotel is the perfect beach-front hotel in Fort Lauderdale Beach. It is in the heart of Fort Lauderdale Beach, and has very easy beach access. The staff is incredibly friendly here. The bell hop Jocelyn seriously is the best ever. He has been working there for 15 years, and is super friendly, super helpful, and just gives out positive energy. His friendly greeting seriously helped me get right into vacation mode. Dexter and Princess at the front desk are also very friendly and helpful. My ocean front suite was so beautiful, and the Mexican cuisine restaurant downstairs that offers both breakfast and dinner really was incredible. The food is soo delicious! I loved my stay and will definitely be back!

My husband and i stayed here for the week of the 4th of July. The location is fabulous. The hotel itself is old and needs a good cleaning. The shower in our room had built up scum and was very dirty. When I mentioned it to the house keeper she said it was the color of the marble which wasn't true. We used shower shoes to shower during the entire stay. When asked to move to another room we were advised that all the rooms were already taken and that we could move in a day or two.Also we wasn't advised that we had to pay $49 a day for parking in the resort garage. We made the best of the stay but will never stay at this hotel again.

We came to this hotel for a convention and we enjoyed our stay! The hotel lobby was clean and inviting. There was a restaurant called Luna on site. There was an outdoor pool on the 2nd floor, fitness center, and several conference rooms. The rooms were good and had a mini refrigerator. Staff members were friendly and helpful. The location was directly across the street from the beach and the hotel has a tunnel that gives you access to walk across the highway to the beach from the pool area. Thank you!

My husband and I came here for our baby/honeymoon. We stayed for a full week. We were super impressed all around. All of the employees are very friendly. We had an incredible view. The walkway to the beach is super convenient. The pool and adjacent restaurant are excellent. We loved getting the nachos, wings, and Caesar salad from waves poolside grill.On one especially hot day when there weren’t any umbrellas available by the pool, an employee named Rey called his manager and got us a cabana because I was 7 months pregnant. It was a thoughtful gesture that really stood out to my husband and I. Everyone at the Westin is very friendly, responsive, and you feel super safe staying there. The location is awesome and close to the airport and main attractions of Ft.Lauderdale. We would definitely return.
