Stayed from end of July through beginning of August 2009. Had a one bedroom suite that viewed that water-room was great and spacious, clean. Hotel is right across from the beach-about a 1 minute walk. Most things were all within a few minutes walk from the hotel. Check Spazios-about a 5 minute walk on beach blvd-great Italian food and pizza!You... more

The Courtyard Fort Lauderdale was a very nice place to stay for a great price. Our room overlooked the ocean and coast. We had a mini fridge, towels were plentiful, the staff was very courteous, and we were one short block from the beach. Here are some tips- There is a CVS a half mile away from A1 Highway.

Stayed the first week of July and was very happy with the hotel. Directly on the beach and extremely close to shops and restuarants/bar. Just a short walk down the street to the heart of the Ft. Lauderdale strip. Pool was nice but wasn't working for 2 days. First day, the hotel knew the pool filter wasn't working but continued... more

We have just returned from a 2 week stay at the Courtyard Fort Lauderdale Beach with 2 daughters aged 21 and 18. The location iwas excellent, across the road from the beach. With majority of hotels located either end of Fort Lauderdale, with this being centrally located, the beach was not at all crowded. Close to good restaurants and bars,... more

If you plan to visit the Fort Lauderdale area and tops on your wish list is a good ocean front hotel, close access to lots of watering holes and you don't need 4-5 star quality, this resort is for you. My wife and I stayed here for a brief 4 night trip in April and had a good (not necessarily... more

We stayed here for one night in March 2009 on our way to Key West. I wish we had been able to stay longer. This is a very nice hotel right across the street from the beach. It was easy to get here from the airport, and it's close to Las Olas Blvd also. The front desk clerk was very... more

The Courtyard Ft. Lauderdale Beach is perfectly located. We had never visited Ft.L before, but this was the perfect place to experience hip night life, a semi-private beach, & roomy rooms. We really enjoyed the 2 separate components of our room: the front "foyer" with hide-a-bed with television & the bed with television beyond the dividing wall. The beachfront in... more

Whether this hotel has a great location or a terrible location is a matter of opinion. The Courtyard is the southern anchor of the busiest stretch of oceanfront in Ft. Lauderdale, adjacent to restaurants, shops, nightclubs, municipal parking and the crowds and noise that go with them. The beach in front of the hotel is crowded with young partygoers, daytrippers,... more

My son and I spent one night here before continung on to the Dominican Republic the next day. I used Marriott points for the room, so there was no cost. The hotel was FULL to bursting and felt like a madhouse. I spent time at the very pleasant if crowded pool bar and had dinner there (mediocre food but really... more
