Marriott BeachPlace Towers

[travelplanner70]

Since I have not been to BPT for several years, I wondered if someone is able to answer the following questions:

1. Does BPT Towel Hut still have chairs we can borrow (ones left from previous vacationers)?
2. Do the showers have pump bottles for shampoo, conditioner, and body wash?
3. Since we probably will not rent a vehicle this time, what are good ways to go down Las Olas Blvd. (for restaurants) and down 17th St. to go to the Publix grocery store?
4. What are some good (and reasonably priced) restaurants within walking distance of BPT?

Thanks in advance for your time.

1.YES
2.I dont think so
3.There is a free Circuit electric car service(shared) that will take you around the surrounding area including up Las Olas.
4.Lulus Bait shack(in the mall under Beachplace)..good for a quick bite upon arrival
Drunken Taco.....Casablanca Cafe....Quarterdeck Restaurant.....Boccacino Cafe and Pizzeria....and the Ritz Carlton next door to BeachPlace....all reasonably priced

I checked out my video from November 2921 and i don’t see bottles of shanpoo soap and body wash in the shower. They may still have the small bottles

They do have the pump bottles now. We were just there in March of this year. I didn’t specifically take a picture of them- but you can see one in this bathroom photo I took.

Yes they still have the chairs to checkout at the towel hut. They are certainly not the best beach chairs but they worked since they were free!

We walked to a South American restaurant called La Costa. It was delicious!

We also ate at 15th Street Fishery and it was very good too! You would have to Uber there.

We ate at the beach bar in the Beachplace mall as well- LuLu’s Bait Shack. It was good too.

There are some very nice restaurants near the resort in walking distance. Plus, the public bus transportation that runs up and down strip is free. If my memory served me correctly.
There is also a very large shopping mall on the bus line. The Dillard Department store located in the mall is one of the largest on the East Coast.

The small deli store on the first floor of the Beach Place Mall sell some good sandwiches to go and they carry many items you may have forgotten to pack.
They are liked a Seven Eleven store but larger and their prices are must better than any Seven Eleven store. IMHO

In our last stay at Beach Place we did not have an automobile; to be honest we did not miss it or need it.
