Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa in Fort Lauderdale

I HAD STAYED HERE A FEW YEARS AGO AND IT WAS A BETTER EXPERIENCE. The location is great but the beach has a lot of garbage at the shore line and during the length of our stay it was not cleaned. Check the weather ahead of time because the waves were so strong we could not go into the water. Paying well over $400.00 a night and I was very disappointed. This is more of a family type resort. Lots of kids running around and owning the pool areas and lobby all day . If you are looking for a quite couples weekend this would not be the place. High Resort fees and daily parking fees. The food and drinks are extremely over priced . I expected more from this Hotel at its price point. I suggest purchasing the breakfast plan since the breakfast buffet fee is over $70.00 dollars for a couple. If you want to lay on the beach, the good beach chairs are an up charge. If you want a small beach umbrella is over $30.00 It felt like all the amenities I wanted use came with hidden fees. Other than the staff that work for tips, the rest of the staff was not as friendly as I remember. We would greet them and they seemed not engaged or happy to be there (This could be the norm for that area). I have stayed in less expensive locations and had a much better experience.

Very professional staff, bed was not comfortable felt like rolling hills, extra charges for everything, food in restaurant just ok, I did like the pool area and private beach, the room was good sized however not worth the cost, I’ve stayed in Turks and Caicos at least 5x and it was more affordable there with more for the buck. I found it disappointing
