This little hotel is very clean and the owners are very accomodating. However, it it very dated, which was no surprise. It was fine for 2 nights before a cruise, but I don't think I'd return or recommend, just because it is so old, a bit tired. I think I'd get depressed if I stayed more than a night or... more

I am writing this on day 8 of my stay at the Vistamar Villa and i have to say it is a very nice place to stay. I have noticed a lot of advertisments in the area for very cheap rooms but i think the Vistamar wins hands down on service, cleanliness and value. I can't stress how much a... more

I've visited Fort Lauderdale twice a year for the last 5 years and my only regret is I didn't find the Vistamar Villa sooner. The suite was set up like an apartment. As a matter of fact some local friends stopped by and one complimented us on our cute apartment. She said she forgot we were staying in a hotel... more

We spent two weeks there in April. The minut we stepped in at Vistamar, we felt at home. The garden is lovely and well kept and the suites are nice and clean. In the evenings we used the BBQ to make dinner - Perfect! In Denmark we have a word called "hyggeligt", it's known to most Scandinavians and Vistamar Villa... more

Thanks John and Mary, for a perfect ending to our 3 weeks vacation in USA. We could not have asked for a better ending. The suite (115) is perfect, and it exceeds all our expectations. I'm sitting on the balcony, writing my review. The sun is shining, the music is just hearable (perfect), I'm just enjoying my life. Who would... more

We were in town only for 4 days but what a great time. Vistamar Villa was exactly what was needed, a nice quiet and clean place, only a stone's throw from the beach. The owners, John and Mary were very pleasant and made helpful suggestions to ensure we got the most out of our short stay in Ft. Lauderdale, and... more

My friend and I recently stayed here for a girls' weekend, and we loved it! Our room was perfectly clean & had a fridge, microwave, hot plate, utensils, etc. We didn't have a car, so we walked to a 7-11 (about a 10 minute walk) to get snacks. There's also several restaurants near the motel (5 min walking), including a... more

The motel was exactly what I expected it to be, which was more like an older cottage than a hotel, but that's not a bad thing. I stayed in one the small rooms that didn't have a kitchen, but it still had a fridge and microwave, which was very handy. The pool area was nice, but the area right around... more

In from Columbus for a pre cruise stay with 6 others. Have been visiting Ft Lauderdale for the past 21 years and have stayed in several places nearby. I found the Vistamar to be quaint, inviting, clean and comfortable. It is within walking distance to Ft Lauderdale beach, has ample parking, is situated in a beautiful tropical pool setting and... more
