B Ocean Resort Fort Lauderdale Beach
This place was fine. Beach was good except they placed $200 cabanas in front of the other chairs so the ocean view was blocked. We were charged for umbrellas .. even though the price included resort fees. Parking was very high $50! The location was great .. within walking distance to all good activities. ...

Conrad Fort Lauderdale Beach
The property is beautiful and well-maintained however, the management needs customer service and decorum training. Staff was super friendly and accommodating but front desk management was rude and very sarcastic. I will not be returning.
