A swimming pool with a person in the water, surrounded by palm trees and a beach in the background.

Lago Mar Beach Resort & Club

East Fort Lauderdale

10/10 Excellent

We stayed for the first time this week for 3 nights. It was so peaceful and relaxing and not too busy. The staff were all so helpful and welcoming, which made it even nicer. The pools were clean and relaxing. The beach access was literally out the door. A few hours after arrival I received a text asking if we needed anything else, so I asked for another towel and to unlock the safe. Someone came to the room within 10 mins to get it sorted! The receptionists were also friendly and guided us with...

This property has a home like ambiance. The room was very comfortable and had a lot of space. Majority of the staff was very kinfd and helpful all around. However, two members of the front desk need proper guidance on customer service. Horriible and non caring attitude was experienced. They obviously do not value customers. Extremely rude and unhelpful. The Front Desk Supervisor and another lady are the gems of that property. They turned my misery into magic.
