Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa

My wife and I had a great night here before embarking on a cruise. The room was amazing, the beach, beautiful, and the service was excellent. The service at the beach was great, but only surpassed by our dinner at Sea Side restaurant for dinner. Our server, Curtis, had a table of 17 and a table of 8 at the same time we were dining and still gave us EXCELLENT service! We felt invited but not rushed, welcomed and not overcrowded. Curtis’s service topped off an amazing day here. From our time being welcomed at the desk until we left we had an amazing time.

Love this place, come every year. The people that work at the beach are amazing, so friendly and helpful. My favorite person on the beach is Nuno Casanova, he’s got great energy and such a fun guy. Three of my other favorite people here are Teyshayla, Marie, Ralph, and Cai they’re so friendly, funny, and thoughtful. The restaurants in town and at the hotel are fantastic. The rooms and views are so nice, I never have a bad time here. They’ve got such a great Gym and spa, spa is definitely a bit pricy but worth it. The whole place has such a friendly energy and it’s great for teens too! Highly recommend coming here for a family trip.

The property itself is stunning, but the service at the RIVA restaurant was disappointing. Rosa was the standout exception—she provided excellent service and was an absolute pleasure to interact with. The food is pricey, though that’s expected for a resort of this caliber. The rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable, and most offer balconies with beautiful views. The pool area is spacious, and the outdoor spaces, including the beach, are gorgeous. Overall, it’s a beautiful hotel and worth the stay, but many of the staff seemed bothered by even simple requests and came across as if they didn’t want to be there.

During thanksgiving break I stayed at the Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa on Fort Lauderdale Beach, and overall I had a great time. The hotel is very nice and it has 15 floors with a modern and classy feel. It is a bit pricy as they charge $12 per day for internet and $60 per day for valet parking, but where the hotel is located and amenities make up for a lot of that. The hotel has an extremely large pool, a big gym, and fun games like ping-pong and the beanbag toss. Breakfast is available in the mornings, and the hotel is right on the beach with a really nice view.(I stayed on the 10th floor) It’s also super convenient if you’re going on a cruise, since the port is very close. I visited with my family and we had a fun experience. The only things I didn’t really like were that the room had complete tile flooring and no carpet, and there were no microwaves in the rooms, the only microwave is on the third floor. During my stay, there was also a small issue where they were charging stuff from other people’s rooms onto different people‘s card so everyone in the hotel was getting random charges that they did not pay for. But they did end up fixing the issue so it’s not a problem anymore. Overall, I’d still recommend this hotel, especially for families or tourists visiting from out of town. We enjoyed our stay and would consider coming back.

We stayed four nights at this hotel with two rooms. A standard sized High room with two King beds. Not the largest room in the world, but still new comfortable, beds and well-appointed. Oceanfront facing could not complain. Second room was one of their Suites which was absolutely breathtaking. Wrap around views with multiple balconies. So much space. Brand new beds and very clean facilities. We ordered room service for breakfasts and dinners itarrived within 40 minutes, everything was fresh hot and very tasty. I travel a lot and I've had very disappointing in-room dining over the years at very nice hotels and resorts. Every single staff member was friendly on the beach to the Bellman's. The door was opened every time you entered the hotel personally. I just can't knock the place. One of the better Marriotts I've ever stayed at. There may be bigger fancy-looking newer hotels. But this place hits the spot. Quietly nestled down at the end of the town near the harbor. The only hotel with direct Beach access. They have been open for years and they know their business. The place was busy the entire time but did not feel frantic. Staff well-trained and very observant. We will undoubtedly be back. Thank you Fort Lauderdale!

Looking for a location to relax and enjoy the views? This Marriott location might be the right property for you. Take a walk outside with your morning beverage and enjoy the sandy beach and views. The patio is a wonderfully organized mass of chairs and tables. There is no problem in finding the right spot to sit and enjoy. There is a Starbucks on property and the service outstanding. Quick and efficient whether your in a rush or just preparing for a leisurely stroll they are there to serve. Children and adult friendly. There is valet parking so leave your vehicle to the pros to park and retrieve your vehicle as necessary. The bellman did not ask to acquire transportation for us. We ended up doing it ourselves. We would suggest asking at the front desk if someone could acquire transportation for you. The other area of focus we would suggest is at the time of checking in you should be acknowledged and notified someone will be right with you. We stood unacknowledged with several employees talking amongst themselves until a bit of time passed before acknowledging our presence for checking in. A kind team when they provided service but a bit delayed in acknowledgement. The property itself and rooms appeared well maintained. Spacious rooms and heavenly views.

We’ve been loyal guests at the Harbor Beach Marriott since 2012. For a long stretch, this was our “no brainer” resort, the place we’d recommend without hesitation. The service was consistently top notch, the staff made you feel genuinely welcomed, and the little details made it feel like a true beachfront Marriott experience. That’s why it’s so disappointing to say this property is sliding fast, and it’s starting to feel like higher prices with fewer services and lower standards. Let’s start with the obvious: the property has gotten greedy. Room rates have climbed significantly over the years, and now there are extra charges for things that used to be part of the resort experience, like paying additional fees for pool seating. If prices go up, fine, but the service, cleanliness, and quality have to rise with it, not drop. This stay was the worst we’ve experienced here, by far. We checked into our room on the 14th floor and were immediately hit with choking cigarette smoke. It wasn’t a “faint smell,” it was the kind of odor that makes your clothes and luggage stink after five minutes. It felt like walking into a 1970’s dive bar, not a Marriott resort. For a property charging premium rates, this is unacceptable. We called for help and were told room service would be sent up. Nobody ever came. No follow-up, no call back, nothing. That’s not a staffing issue, that’s a standards issue. Then there’s the room itself, which looked and functioned like it hasn’t been properly maintained in a long time: • The shower door doesn’t close properly • The shelving in the shower is missing • Outlets didn’t work for charging phones (in 2026… come on) • Past guest food was left under the bed (gross and avoidable) This isn’t “being picky.” This is basic cleanliness and upkeep, and it’s exactly what you do NOT expect when you’re paying Marriott resort prices. Now for the shrinkflation: Sea Level used to be something we looked forward to. Not anymore. The food has taken a noticeable dive. The “fruit bowl” is now a tiny cup with wilted fruit, and the chicken tasted like bagged frozen food that was reheated and served without a second thought. That would be disappointing at a roadside diner, never mind at a beachfront resort restaurant that’s supposed to be part of the experience. And it’s not just the food. The resort vibe has been stripped down too. One example is the removal of the 2:30 pm lemonade and cookies. That small touch used to make guests smile, especially families. It sounds minor, but those are the exact things that made this place feel special and worth the money. Taking them away while charging more is the wrong direction. Here’s the hard truth: this property is living off its reputation, and the gap between price and experience is getting bigger every year. Mr. Marriott, we see you here often. We’ve chatted with you at the pool, and you’ve said this is your favorite place. It was ours too. But if this is the direction things are heading, you’re going to lose the long-term repeat guests that built this resort’s reputation in the first place. We’re keeping the faith because we know what this property USED to be, and it can absolutely be great again. But it needs immediate attention: enforce smoke-free rooms, deep clean and properly maintain the guest rooms, bring back service standards, and stop cutting corners on food quality. If you’re going to keep raising prices, don’t sacrifice the experience, and for the love of oceanfront vacations, get rid of the smoke smell and black mold Quick update: Came to their beach and guess what….. up charge to sit near the water!

The view from my room was very nice. The balcony was huge. I was able to work from my balcony with ease...internet worked on the balcony:) The platinum breakfast was great...I got it to go. Rooms are newly remodeled. Disappointing a little was the spa. Shower was cold and Sauna never got warm..I will review that separately though. The massage was just ok..know they put tip on you bill automatically. I would stay here again..

Very nice family-friendly hotel. I came with my friends and my toddler daughter. This place is great for staying with kids. They have a big pool, two jacuzzis, a splash zone, and a large beach area with seating. At 1pm, I couldn't get a chair at the pool area, so come earier if planning to stay at the pool There is also a small outdoor restaurant "Sea Level" with bites and drinks. The restaurant is okay, but the line was long and the waitstaff seemed a bit disorganized. The price is expensive for the food. Since I visited during the Christmas holiday, when kids were out of school, it was very crowded with children, so be prepared for some noise.

Excellent staff made this a 5 star experience. Shout out to Kristian at the front desk who made us feel welcomed as a value guest. Thankful he was able to check us in early. This guy is what customer care is all about. At the pool, we rented a cabana and the host was great. Shout out to Luis for taking care of us all afternoon and the entire attendant crew. Pool was refreshing. The music and activities kept it lively. We had dinner at the Sea Level restaurant and had a nice dinner on the deck. Service was prompt, the food was tasty, and the live music was a treat. We will be back!

I came here for the afternoon to use the spa, I did not stay in the hotel. The spa has a sauna, steam room, hot tub, relaxation room, private pool and showers. Everything was clean and well kept up. The walls were newly painted. I had both the sauna and hot tub to myself for awhile, which was nice. The relaxation room has hot teas and water flavored with mint and watermelon. There were 2 snacks offered, yogurt covered raisins and a mix of mini pretzels and salty snacks. No freshly baked cookies, no fruit. I expected more from a Marriott. The spa is missing the touches that would make it feel like a really Zen space. I thinks it needs updating.

VERY DISAPPOINTING: The good news is we had a beautiful view of the ocean from our room. The bad news: Extra charges for everything. For each of the three nights we stayed at this resort there was a private event on the hotel grounds with loud music. So much for a peaceful vacation.

4 days in Ft Lauderdale at this Marriott location and I felt like I was in the Caribbean. Their staff was very international and really made an effort to make our stay as fun and accommodating as possible. Note: there is construction on area facing balconies to the ocean. We added a night last minute so could catch Messi playing a soccer game so on our 1st night we had booked our suite and couldn't go to balconies since construction.They don't want anything falling on you. We were able to move to a beautiful unobstructed divided suite room the 2nd day with 2 different AC units .That was perfect for our polar bear in the other room . Bed was extremely comfortable and showers had great water pressure.Small things mean alot to us. If you are Titanium elite breakfast is available in main area for extra $10 for buffet, $8 for anything on menu or complimentary simple bread oatmeal with fruit. We had their pesto topped egg white omelets 2 days and they were delish . They even offered 2 drinks upon check in at their 2 bars that can use during day or at night where they had live music. Keep in mind this is a family resort and many Marriott customers are owners so there are some time share people there ,too. A few hiccups happened with our bill so recommend checking.They were able to credit us after an extra $200 ended up on our bar tab accidentally. Note: self parking was really easy in and out for $54 a day and there are resort fees so this place can be pricey. We hit the Publix up the road for water and snacks a few times. Overall, it was a beautiful place to stay and easy to travel to other areas around Ft Lauderdale. It was not crowded during the 1st week in August and would return.

Convenient, beach front resort if you are headed to Fort Lauderdale a few days before your cruise. The resort is clean, friendly and recently renovated. There is a private beach to rent umbrellas ($35) and cabanas ($135 plus) for the day, plus a pool, and a number of bars, restaurants, snack stations, and a sundry store for all of your beach vacation needs. We tried an oceanfront room that was comfortable with beautiful views of the beach. Our room was ready immediately when we arrived. For food, we loved the coconut shrimp and chip/ dip combo. The room service was quick, with great options like pizza, salads, and breakfast in the am. If you really never have to leave the resort to have a beautiful vacation!

Most uncomfortable bed I've ever "slept" in and I've stayed at Motel 6. Also, two doubles? Really? Giant gaps between beds that clearly would have allowed two queens. Had a great view of the delivery dock/trash area. The backing alarm made for a great wake up call not to mention the emergency exit door slamming shut all night right next to our room. Would not recommend.

This hotel is a total 10/10. The staff is fabulous. Everyone was so friendly and helpful! The beach is wonderful, nice spacious and clean rooms. The food at this place is I would live here if I could!

Please, please please change the music by the pool to yacht rock or Jimmy Buffett or something Caribbean and make us want to stay by the pool and enjoy it. This means the world. You will get 10 stars if you straighten out the music!!

This is a stunning hotel with its property at beach front. Check in was swift. Corridors are wide and rooms are spacious. It has an outdoor pool, a gym, a spa, Starbucks Coffee. The Sea Level restaurant is another building outside near the pool. There's also 3030 Restaurant for dinner. This hotel gives a very luxurious feel.

Wonderful resort! Kids loved it. We had a great time. If you go to the beach, ask for Nuno! He was wonderful! Would definitely return again!

Ugh. Resort is nice, $55 resort fee is inline with other places. Mattress is hard and uncomfortable, feels cheap. Thin walls which allowed me to virtually participate with conversations in other rooms. $57.78 a day for self parking is ridiculous. But.... Room smelled moldy, i mean a really strong mold smell. Additionally, the hotel bill has six lines of tax, two lines of telecom, which make it hard to see that they charged me $17.12 for two bottles of water that were in the room when I checked in and when I left. Florida Marriotts always have problems like this. Showing Marriott status to show that I am, and have been for a long time, a regular traveler and that I rarely, if ever, leave a review for a hotel. It took multiple phone calls with them to resolve.

I stayed at the Marriott Fort Lauderdale Pompano Beach this past weekend. I am writing to say it was fine. I also offer two additional notes. At the outset, I will say we got a good deal. I also was upgraded. My room was great. I had a view of the water and a balcony sizable enough for two chaise lounges and a little table, with even an additional section due to the L shape. I sat out there for an hour in the morning checking emails, and that is as lovely a setting as you could wish for if you are engaged in that task. After the event we had, I even had twenty minutes on the beach. The two additional notes. One is a permanent issue, the other temporary. The permanent issue is that there is more than one Marriott in the vicinity. I went to the wrong one. That is user error of course. The clerk at the front desk said I was not the only one. So double check the exact address. The temporary issue is they were a mess with renovations. They sent a message in advance warning about the condition. The restaurant was sad. But the servers made the best of it, and that compensated; they were brisk and friendly, not always the east combination to display. So all in all, I had a good stay. I have no complaints.

Check in was a breeze and our room was upgraded. We had an amazing room with a nice balcony and view. The room was very clean. The shower was wonderful. Room was cleaned every day, but sometimes daily cleaning wasn't till after 5 pm. The pool area is beautiful and plenty of chairs and umbrellas. The beach is nice as well. Your resort fee includes chairs on the beach but not umbrellas. It's way too hot to be out there without umbrellas. The bed was super comfy. I could hear everything my neighbors said through the wall. Definitely paper thin. At times kids running up and down the hallway were annoying. Everything is pretty expensive. $8 for a bottle of water. Close to $20 for a mixed drink. Seem to nickle and dime you since there is already a close to $50 a day resort fee that doesn't include much. Kevin at the pool was great and attentive. Plenty of staff. The fire alarm went off twice in the night during our stay and we had to evacuate. That was painful. A good twenty minute walk to get anywhere and not that pleasant when it's super hot. Id stay again, hopefully the fire alarm will be fixed! The onsite restaurants are not really equipped to accommodate food allergies so that is also annoying to have to leave for every meal.

I had the pleasure of staying here for a conference. This is a first-class resort that sits right on the beach. Highlights: It sits right on the beach, a really good beachside restaurant. a nicely stocked hotel bar and a top-shelf adjoining restaurant. Service is fantastic at every level. There is a very good juice/protein shake bar by the pool that I visited every day after my workout in their well-appointed gym. Here come my nits. It was freezing in their conference center. It reminded me of being in a casino and they are pumping in cold air to keep you awake. My room: being a lifetime platinum elite and a Bonvoy member for decades you would think I would at least rate a room with a decent view. Nah, enjoy the parking lot view while my teammates who are not Marriott loyalists were sending me beautiful sunrise photos. Solid 4 star property!

Breathtaking ocean view! We were there for a conference and styled for 5 nights; among our group, some friends had requested changing rooms as it has mold smells; one had ants. For my room, I was on the floor where the remodeling construction was happening, so we had firsthand experience with the remodeling. Each check-in included 2 complementary drinks at the bar (beer or wine), but the bar closed at 10:30 p.m. Banquet food is just OK, nothing sparks. We did get to use one of the Resort packages--sound bathing yoga. It was really fun, and the instructor was very nice. complimentary

Very disappointing. I have been coming to the hotel for the last 30 years and this stay was the worst I have ever had. We had an ocean front room, over $600 a night. The bathroom was dirty, there was black hair in the tub, the floor in the bathroom was dirty, the towels had holes in them and there was some kind of white sticky substance under the sink. Unfortunately there was a storm while we were there, but we wanted to go down to the beach anyway, there were only a few people, we sat there for a while, and when we left we were wiping our feet off we asked the man at the beach hut where do the towels go? But he was so busy on his phone he didn't even look up and just said you can put them in the bin and pointed toward the sand behind him, and then kept on playing on his phone, never offering to take them. We also had horrible service at the restaurant for lunch. It was not that crowded, but the empty tables were all dirty and finally after almost 10 minutes we got someone to come over and clean a table so we could sit,. He was not happy, and also turned out to be our waiter, who was less than thrilled to be working. Horrible service. The best part of our stay was when we checked in. We had a lovely woman, Rose, who was so sweet and friendly, very welcoming. She apologized for the weather ( like she could have changed it, lol). and asked us what our plans were, just made the day brighter, but it was all down hill from there. Unfortunately, I would not go back again fo the price and that kind of service.

This resort is amazing! It is a full resort with all the amenities - beach and pool access, onsite activities, a full spa with indoor pool. It also is a conference center. I had the pleasure of indulging in both. How can you not?! The staff was very professional and attentive to guest needs. The bartenders were very friendly and hospitable. The restaurants were very nice and the food was good. Except banquet food, if you're a vegetarian. They are very limited and not creative with veggie meals. I was very underwhelmed. However, the property was the show stopper. The pictures do it no justice. I'm looking forward to going back.

Parking issues Staff is completely non responsive Pretty pathetic that they blame accounting Have you forgotten customer service? Will never be back and infact will make it my mission to spread the lousy service and lack of customer care I guess you don't need or care about customer satisfaction

The Marriott Resort in Fort Lauderdale was very relaxing with beautiful views. My mom came for a conference and I came for pleasure. Are room had a balcony and you could view the ocean and beach from are room. It was great experience waking up to that view every morning and just being thankful. There are a number of recreational activities that are offered such as basketball, volleyball, corn hole, jet skiing, paddle boarding, and other activities. The only thing was that there is an up-charge for everything you do. If you want to enjoy the activities there is an up-charge that is charged everyday to your card, which is pretty interesting considering it's an resort. The water activities are charged by the hour and the mostly all of the restaurants don't take cash. I would definitely advise if you want to go swimming to go early in the morning as soon as it opens because otherwise the pool is packed all day. The beach is right by the pool so you can go to beach to lay out but you have to pay extra for seating and umbrella's which is charged with the up-charge. There are plenty of restaurants around the area but the walking distance is about fifteen minutes, which I don't mind because I love walking. The Fort Lauderdale Beach is about a fifteen to twenty minute walk with a great oceanfront. You definitely can stay on the resort for your vacation but when I'm on vacation I like to see the city. The staff we're very pleasant and gracious and they provided great customer service. The only issue I have with the resort is that although it's beautiful and great way to relax, it can become pricey because basically everything is a la carte. It's definitely a family resort so it's great to bring the whole family.

Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort is a fantastic getaway! Just minutes from the beach, it offers beautiful weather and an incredibly helpful staff. The perfect place for a relaxing vacation. Highly recommend!

The food is amazing and the experience is great!! The pools are fun and the beach is beautiful! And so are the rooms

Overall a wonderful stay for the second time to take part in a conference for work. My family and I will be coming back as we love the direct access to the beach. The food was just alright- but again I was here for a conference. The bar service at the pool was great! On the beach not so much. The two times I have stayed I have had a good view of the pool and beach, but the balcony was right above the corn hole and ping pong so you hear people all night long.

This place was just wonderful. Here for a wedding at Ft Lauderdale Yacht club. The staff here was absolutely on point. Friendly, informative and professional. We requested a king room and adjoining suite with another adjoining king room, crib and and a pull out couch. Bathrooms have been updated with shower (no tub). Nice tile. Rooms have been retiled. The Rooms could use updating but perfectly fine and comfortable. We had nice breakfast. (Get there before 8 am and it's quiet) after 9 am it gets very busy with families. We stayed here 20* years ago and we're back for the first time. We would def come back.

We went on a trip for our family of 4 and had a pleasant stay here! Note the location is farther away from the prime area of Fort Lauderdale and is about a ~20 minute walk to most restaurants outside of the resort. Our oceanfront room was clean and spacious enough for our family. We requested for a crib for our infant after checking in which was brought up quickly. The only negative was the water for the tub which seemed murky one night (!!!). Housekeeping was completed daily but the times varied, but we were out of our room most of the time so it wasn't an issue. We enjoyed the pool one of the days and I would highly recommend making reservations for pool chairs, loungers, and/or cabanas if possible since it gets crowded quickly! There's also a splash pad area for young children which my daughter enjoyed a ton. Additionally, there's a Starbucks on-site as well as a few restaurants (3030 Club and Sea Level). Staff was friendly across the board during our stay, from the front desk to housekeeping to pool service to restaurant wait staff! Everyone seemed to be in such a good mood and were happy to assist you.

Overall, we had a wonderful stay at this property, which felt well run and higher-end. You also pay higher-end prices, so just be prepared. You kind of get used to charging everything to your room and before you know it you're $1500 in (this included parking our rental at $50 a day plus drinks and food at all the restaurants and bars, and shops on the property). We had amazing food and great service. The pool is great but it does get very crowded with families and lots of kids so it is recommended to get down there at about 7 or 7:30 in the morning if you want a good seat. Good seat meaning... close to the pool and sometimes they have restrictions like you can't be away from your seat for more than an hour otherwise they will take your stuff and give away your seat. Other times when it's less busy you just have to have a personal item on your seat in order to save it. They also have a really sweet private beach area where you can rent umbrellas and have multiple chairs/towels per party (chairs are included and we got one day free umbrella rental at check in). There is bar and wait service on the beach. We can play volleyball and bags. The ocean felt great, clean. Lots of swimmers on the day we chose to go, but other days it was too windy/water was wild. The meals we had at Sea Level were very good, we had ordered the Greek salad at the pool and it was so fantastic! I will remember it always - you should get it with chicken and use all the tzatziki and the dressing and mix it all up. SO DAMN GOOD Y'all!! Sea level had nightly entertainment. We paid ahead when booking the room and added the "free" breakfast every morning - we ate the buffet breakfast at Rivas each day and that was also very good and worth it. We had one dinner at 3030 and that was good as well. The outdoor area was nice for smokers or just hanging out. There are also games to be played outside like ping-pong and Jenga. The gym is also very nice with a good selection of really good equipment. The shops have a lot of cute stuff to browse and buy plus necessities you forgot to pack. We also had a $25 credit for spa services but we didn't end up using those. Boo. We thought we had reserved a partial ocean view/balcony, but it turns out we got a city view and I'm still skeptical as to what happened with that but considering we only spent a very small amount of time in the room it wasn't that big of a deal. The only suggestion I would have for a hotel this size would be to have a small area reserved just for adults at the pool area. It was a lot of work dodging and weaving around the kids playing and throwing things the whole day. I would recommend this hotel.

This was a really nice stay and I don't have much complaints. The service was great at the lobby every time. They were doing some cleaning or construction on the floor I was at, so every so often it smelled like a bunch of chlorine and cleaning products. There's a Starbucks on the main floor, gym, FedEx, gift shop, massage and spa, and a pool. Live music at the restaurant next to the lobby. There's also another restaurant closer to the pool outside. For the room, I'm not sure if this is just a Marriott thing in general, but there's like no ventilation in the bathrooms. It's so weird to me. The shower didn't drain as well, but it didn't really bother me. It's a step in shower, so it's more accessible to most. Since our room was facing the ocean, we saw on our welcome map that we should close our blinds early so that the turtles don't come on shore. Apparently it's that time of year and turtles gravitate towards the light and we don't want them coming on shore and harming themselves. There are sticks and tape lined up on the beach to block off the turtle nests. I was there for a conference and I have to say, they offer one of the best conference meals I've ever had!

Really solid option for work or fun getaway. Beach on property is lovely and many amenities like spa and Starbucks. 3060Bar gave great service at lunch. Tyler was top notch. At breakfast buffet things were a bit crazy due to rain I think. But our kind server there ,John ,handled every issue that arose quickly and with a fix and a smile. Rooms were comfortable but not super luxurious. Chairs were hard to come by after 9 Am at pool.

Love this location. right on the beach. big pool and nice rooms. Staff is super nice. Easy to get to the Curise port if you take a cruise

Great resort on a private beach! The staff were excellent! Highly recommend this place!

Terrible ripoff experience. The experience is all transactional at this Marriott ! There's no resort type experience here . Every which way they are trying to rip you off ! they charged $1 extra even for milk in my coffee which is unbelievable. I had an Amazon package delivered and they charged me $40 even though I had to wait at the desk to collect it . There's a daily resort fee of $50+tax just added on for use of the pool and beach ; why don't they include this in your room charge ? The rooms are mediocre and beds are small doubles although the hotel advertised them as queen . The hot tub was cold , housekeeping was late daily, loud music is played all day at the pool. Disney cruises use this hotel so every morning there are dozens of people lining up in the lobby screaming and running around to depart in buses for their cruise ship which was very annoying. We will never return ! they could care less when I complained about the Amazon charge for a delivery and it's clear they just care about grabbing your money at every opportunity! save your money and go elsewhere!

Our VRBO had a beach club membership to use the hotel beach and pool amenities and it did not disappoint! We loved sitting on the beach. The beach has a staff that will take your drink and food orders and bring it to you. The pool area is huge and the lobby was beautiful and has a Starbucks. Although we did not stay here, we enjoyed our experience! The hotel also had jet skiing you could partake in if the weather was nice.

The hotel is nice and only a 10-minute walk to the harbor. However, I would NOT recommend staying here unless you are okay with a lot of children around--there are kids everywhere. Additionally, the hotel is undergoing construction, and if you have a room by the pool, you won't experience any peace and quiet until after 4 PM. Also, forget about keeping the curtains open; construction workers pass by your windows multiple times daily. It's not advisable to walk around without clothes and forget about enjoying the balcony; it's locked because of the ongoing construction. Furthermore, the shower is quite dark, making it difficult for women to shave. It won't let me post a video highlighting the construction noise but trust me, its awful.

I've stayed at Harbor beach multiple times throughout the last 17 years. It's a beautiful property, that has everything you need all right there. 16 private acres surrounded by water. With a huge beautiful Beach, full basketball court and tennis courts. The pool is huge with a cool water fall feature. They even have a private pool and hot tub for the spa. I also create art at the property all the time. It's my home away from home! Best, Joshua Clyde @SandmanBeachArt

There a young man that works in the pool area at the marriott harbor beach hotel. His name is Noah. He is amazing. He helps everyone. Always asks if you need anything. He is an asset to the Marriott. Sara Martin

Great location and nice service. Everything works like clockwork - Big compliment to the management team at this location. Live music, good food and drink options, nice pool, clean beach and plenty of space to spend time together or do your own activities. Rooms are clean and you have the option to have it cleaned daily or not. The disappointing parts were the toilet was cracked, the balcony had pools of water sitting there hours and days after it had rained. The housekeeping team kept missing a few areas - some days it's get cleaned and others not so much. In an attempt to save space, the sliding door to the bathroom and closet became a nuisance- kept running the door into someone in the closet getting their stuff.

I did a staycation for my birthday and couldn't have enjoyed it more. I stayed mid week and the hotel was busy but not overwhelming. I was immediately greeted by valet and they moved my car until I was ready to self park since I was choosing that option. The front desk was extremely welcoming. I received 2 free welcome drinks that I was able to use at 3030 ocean bar, a free umbrella and spa credit. I was able to easily park my car and head right up to my room. The room was clean and looked out right to the ocean and beach. Room service came timely for my first night. The pools and beach were beautifully kept. The spa was amazing and the spa pool was extremely peaceful. The entire staff was great!

Currently staying at the Harbor beach resort and every night a group of people are banging on my door, trying to get into my room. The manager offered me another room or I was welcome to checkout and provided me with a receipt. (David). However I know there's security on staff because I spoke with them the night before. David unfortunately never suggested for security to just check the room later tonight just to ensure their are no issues , usually between 12am , 3am However unpaid security guard suggested it after last night episode . After I called the front Security desk for my own safety .

The location and amenities are fantastic! Restaurants were good and the pool bar had the best mango daiquiri. There were some challenges with hotel renovations right outside my balcony, but the manager Jason was very helpful in sorting everything out. Will definitely be back!

The resort has amazing staff, food and spa. An ocean view room is definitely the way to go! You can see the sunrise and moon over the water. The spa is very professional, a heated salt pool and online booking. There are multiple choices for food, from elevated casual, wait staff that are in polo's and pants, to fine dining, wait staff in ties and vests. The hotel was clean, must have on shoes and cover ups for the beach goers and a Starbucks right in the lobby. Highly recommend!

Everything went well, from our arrival to our departure, beautiful resort, great accommodation, perfect location, coming here a long time, will continue to do so, shout out to our girl, Emily, one of the nicest people you will ever encounter, she a server on the beach, treats her customers like family

Rude unhappy employees, Tiny Rooms, Crowded Public Areas, Great Location I'm platinum elite- hardcore Marriott loyalist- never have I dealt with such a rude front desk person. If I hadn't been up since 3 am I would have asked for the hotel manager. The front desk situation is an experiment in chaos, for a spring break destination on the Saturday before Easter- it's really unacceptable. So partially I blame management, but then for the front desk person who is not paying attention to the chaos to accuse me of cutting and tell me to go back to the line when I waited 10 minutes to check in (for some reason all the Bon Voy people checking in needed extra long assistance) Really got this trip off on the wrong foot. The rest of the chaos around the resort wreaks of poor management. I get it- it's a holiday weekend. But this happens every year- be better prepared. Our family is tripping over each other and the luggage in this insanely tiny space. USB jacks don't work and there's a green line down the middle of our TV. Thank heaven we're only here one night!

It's a beautiful beach, nice room ( suite) 3030 great food and drinks great service . The cleaning staff was way too loud every morning! Beginning at 7:30 am. Even though our " do not disturb " sign was on the door they knocked at 8 am both days!! That never showed happen !!!

The pool area is beautiful and the service was great. However, the service by the pool was a little slow. The spa treatments were wonderful. I loved my massage, and they have a lovely spa pool and hot tub.

This resort was just wonderful. As others have stated, our room was not ready upon on arrival. That's fine, they would text when it was available. We went to have an adult beverage at the bar just off the main lobby and were notified our room was ready before we finished our drink. Our room had a lovely view of the ocean, beach area, pool area, and a small outdoor event area ( baby shower in progress). We had a balcony that wrapped around the corner so instead of only a table and 2 chairs, we had lounge chairs and another table along the side. We also could see the cruise ships as they embarked on their cruises. Didn't seem to matter what time it was, lobby area was busy and the front drop off area was packed so it was difficult for Uber pickup and drop off. My only complaint, if you can call it a complaint, was that other than the full length mirror on the closet door, the only mirror was the one in the bathroom. Two people could not get ready at the same time. Why wasn't there a mirror over the desk as in most hotels?

We had a beautiful room with a balcony on the beach. We loved the heated pool and ample beach front seating.

Arriving near 1:00 AM after a delayed flight and troublesome Uber, my 8-month pregnant wife and I arrived for our 'babymoon' quite tired and frustrated. We had booked a King room with a beach view for the weekend through Delta vacations as well as booked some Spa services and were looking forward to the last vacation before parenthood. Check-in was smooth and quick until we arrived at our room, a two double bed room with a view of the loading dock. It was 1:00 AM and we were quite tired, but it being a special occasion we called down to the lobby to have it sorted out then rather than the next day. The front desk was uncooperative with my wife over the phone so we went down to discuss in person. The issue we discovered was Delta vacations booked the incorrect room for us - unfortunate! It took a while to put these pieces together as the front desk staff, now including the manager, was extremely unhelpful and argumentative in dealing with the scenario. At this point we were naturally upset with Delta vacations - but could have had no issue with the resort. The front desk staff had an opportunity here to take a terrible situation for two obviously exhausted (and one extremely pregnant) guests but continued to literally throw their hands up and repeat "there is nothing we can do". The next afternoon we ended up getting switched into the original room Delta Vacations had confirmed with us we were getting and had an excellent time at the spa and enjoyed the resorts many amenities during our stay. However, walking away the memory that will remain, and guide our ability to recommend this resort to friends or family, is standing at that lobby desk and watching two staff members and their manager display no empathy. As a manager, especially at a resort, you need to have something in your back pocket for this kind of situation. We understood the booking error was not the resort's fault! It is a fundamental leadership strategy to recognize a bad situation and turn it into a good one. One where we would walk away angry with Delta vacations but impressed with Marriott Fort Lauderdale Harbor Beach Resort. That impression could have led to repeat visits and other guests by recommendations and positive reviews. The new front desk staff the next day was able to make it right but the damage had already been done. Toss out a free drink at the bar..some perk at the pool..offer something...anything! At the very least there was one thing the front desk manager could have done - sympathize with your guests having a distressed moment on your property.

READ THE FINE PRINT - UNDER CONSTRUCTION we just left a few minutes ago. It's Tuesday, September 3. We spent the night there last night, and the bed was nice but the resort itself is pretty old and half of it is under construction, including the swimming pool. No swimming pool. That was the reason we went there. I booked it through the Bonvoy app with Marriott and there was no big flag or anything that would pop up to tell me that the resort was only 40%. Half the building is completely gutted. We had ocean view, and anticipated Ocean Sounds in the morning, but instead we woke up to jackhammers and a backhoe and construction guy yelling. Disappointed if it were a good deal and inexpensive then maybe? Probably not but maybe? But it was the same price as the other really nice hotels That don't have construction and don't have jackhammer and do have a pool!! On the sidenote, the guy that was at the counter last night was exceedingly friendly and nice and helpful, probably because of the guy that left the yelp review yesterday that said the front counter was horrible. But then this morning the front counter was not as helpful. I asked for late check out and they gave me 1 o'clock. I told them my flight didn't leave until two. Could we please have 2 o'clock and they said no. I'm a Marriott super elite something, and they normally give me 4 PM late check out. So we had to leave for the airport an hour early, or stand in the lobby for an hour. We left early

One night and already don't like this place. At check in, they did the usual "your room isn't ready" trick. This was at 5 PM so, already knew this was BS. They do this so, you'll be initially upset then, they say we will try to find you something. Amazing, they found another room that was probably mine already. However, it's a room that has issues or people have complained. Had a work dinner at 7 so I couldn't do much but take it. This was a low lever room facing the beach right near the pool. I'm not in vacation and don't care about either. Also, weather here hasn't been great and they have no heat in the rooms. Froze my butt off last night. My recommendation is to take a room opposite of the beach on a high floor and be insistent about it. Don't fall for their tricks
