I am an owner and currently at the resort. We have been going for 13 years now and own 3 weeks. We come every year and it is like our second home.

If you are expecting a five star location it is not for you. It is a well maintaned resort with the same group of owners returning every year.

If you have specific question I would be glad to answer.

We have not stayed at this resort. It is about 4 to 5 blocks from the Marriott’s Beach Place Towers Resort. It is directly across from the beach; good location to the beach and some excellent local restaurants on the strip. It is on the bus and trolley lines.

You are about 1 miles from a Publix supermarket.

You are in walking distance to the beach, some excellent local restaurants, supermarkets, night clubs, drug stores and a mall

There are some current reviews on this timeshare resort at TripAdvisor.

Idea location to the beach, FLL airport and the cruise port.

I, too, never stayed at the Resort but checked it out a number or times in contemplation of staying there. I agree with Pedro that it is well located...

looking northeast.jpg I have taken all my nephews there ... am owner there also.

Think of the resort as a home in a neighborhood. The "World Famous Parreot Bar and Lounge" is a sport bar (a Philadlephia Sports bar) with 27 TV sets, outdoor sidewalk seating, table service and 2+ bars. There is the La Cantina eatry and the Itilian dining place next door to each other .. just around the corner. The Pizza joint on the corner is a 24hour eatry with a separate Thai restaurant about the pizza place. The corner store has a gourmet ice cream cone & scoup. There is an Irish bar facing the ocean with outdoor seating but no food.

The resort has a Tiki bar where you can order food .. but the food is delivered from the Parrot Bar's kitchen ... I actually have seen FASTER food service to the FLBR's bar than food on my table when at the Parrot.

I also own 3 weeks at the Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort. The units are very spacious and comfortable. The staff at the resort are very friendly and as others have said, the location is excellent. This is a view when looking back at Fort Lauderdale from your balcony.

We stayed at Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort in February. Booked it through Trading Places as a last minute rental. We were very happy with the resort location and the unit. We didn’t use our rental car the entire week because we were able to walk everywhere...the beach, Publix, the mall, restaurants, the state park, and the water taxi stop. Our only complaint was the unit location...3rd floor with a view of the parking lot and front entrance. Apparently most owners use their week so there are limited options for rentals or exchanges.

We have exchanged into Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort. It is very nice, close to the beach and shops.
We actually have stayed twice, the second time was better, they updated the rooms and it was very comfortable. The area is very busy on the weekends because the resort is right near clubs, shops and the beach. We would go back again.
You will have a nice time if you stay there.
When are you going?
