Westin Beach Resort & Spa

I really want to commend the Westin as being my absolute favorite resort hotel when I come down to Fort Lauderdale a few times a year. The impeccable service and care put forth by their amazing, attentive staff made this last trip so worth it. A special mention to the server Jessierose who made breakfast at Tinta on the premises a memorable experience. It’s amazing how just being pleasant, warm and relatable to your customers really makes you want to return. Thank you Jesserose!

We stayed here to celebrate our birthday’s and truly enjoyed our stay. Stormy was our concierge and he was totally amazing!! His warm welcome and kindness really made our stay here even more pleasant along with our celebration! He was by far the best! Connie, Heidi, and Celine (Deana really)

The owners/Marriott management have done a pretty good job with the upgrade of this old girl by avoiding the more overworked ‘beach-vibe’ cliche-ridden decor associated with seaside properties. That having been said, whilst in admiration of achieving a more international fitout standard & visual imagery than is mostly seen in similar USA hotels .. they’ve sadly missed the boat (sorry!) regarding many practical interior design details that lets the side down . Take our ( upgraded, thank you !) suite on the 14th level ..no color used whatsoever for either walls or ( quite nice) draperies .. & weirdly disparate textiles for the mistakenly selected upholstery pieces installed. But worse by far than such ID quibbles was the woefully inadequate En-Suite Bathroom the tiny vanity - supposedly for two guests to use. Our underscaled vanity unit had its undershelf missing( removed , forgotten ?) as well as inexplicably sporting a cut-out provision for a ( missing, too!) drawer!...all this making it virtually impossible to comfortably unpack one’s personal travel amenities ~ as well as displaying unnecessarily all the under sink plumbing details in full view from the doorway. . . what a pity! Housekeeping failures also, more importantly let the side down too.. just why the lights on the most important & dramatic design feature of The Lobby itself should be TURNED OFF @5pm every night beats me...? As would continuing to allow the annoying omelette-making gentleman at breakfast believe he’s also a musical entertainer ( far from it!) by LOUDLY ‘singing’ song snatches whilst cooking his eggs..not sparing anyone anywhere in the entire cafe his off- key renditions. Tell this guy to shut up! There’s a nice pool on-site as is DIRECT access to the ocean beach ( the hotel has its very own road bridge!) .. all very attractive resort features indeed. Worth considering..a very high hotel standard -at a reasonable cost for the USA, indeed. Just a pity about some details.

I can see why so many people love this place. I picked this hotel for our stay because of its close proximity to the beach, reasonable rates, and tons of great recent reviews. It is a BEAUTIFUL hotel, and every person who works here seems happy to be here. Iris at the front desk took such good care of us that you would think we were old friends. Richard P. brought us room service with genuine happiness and a big smile - and the food was outstanding. Our room was amazing and squeaky clean, with an incredible view of the ocean and comfy beds. Can't wait to come back.

The hotel it’s self is very nice. The room is large and nicely decorated. Our room was booked via Travel Zoo and I paid extra for a city view and breakfast included. All taxes were included as part of the package with free resort tax and parking. We arrived late after a transatlantic flight to find a room with a view of a brick wall we are on the 6 th floor in the North Tower. Lovely breakfast this morning but charged $4.50 service charge plus tip option showing. Surely an all inclusive rate includes service charges? Needless to say no tip was given and to be fair all she did was serve a cup of tea.
