The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort

I met Diego at the pool. He was very pleasant. We talked for a while about family and few different things. I enjoyed our chat. It’s people like him that make a vacation that much nicer.

We spent a weekend in this super nice hotel, attending an event, and had a great time with people who treated us ina splendid way. At reception, at the beach, at the Lona restaurant (where lots of Latin American people assisted us fantastically!), and then Jocelyn keeping our luggage while eating and going to the beach! Very nice and pleasant! Thanks very much for being so attentive!

Great time at the Westin. Jocelyn at the front desk is the absolute best!

Always a great experience at the Westin. The bars and restaurants are always consistent. The server Juan Pablo at Waves is exceptionally attentive, kind, and professional!

The location

For what I paid, the hotel was underwhelming. You pay for the location but the hotel is extremely outdated and rundown. The amenities are also outdated and the gym was a joke. The AC has no heating function, maybe not expected in Florida but the days I was there it was between 68 and 35F. I stayed for 2 nights and paid over 900 dollars. That's a total rip-off for a hotel which was last renovated in the 90s I would say.

Combined 4 nights business and 1 night on own. Actual hotel is 2 stars. 1 elevator didn't work. Hotel is not updated. Shower head and water heat and pressure was spotty. Mattresses and comforters were nice. Couldn't open (dirty) windows. Amenities limited. No hot tub. Pool small and cold. Hotel food availabilty is extremely limited and sub-par...The Cuban sandwich was the only thing that I had that was good. Conference food excellent. Hotel room was freezing and not adjustable. A man entered my room when I was in there. A beach attendant tried to take away my lounge when I was there less than an hour, even though my drink, towels, and shirt were on the lounge. It was poorly run and uncomfortable experience that I would not repeat. Yes, proximity to the beach is nice, but that there is a gang tag on the elevator...hard pass.

Service was awesome thanks to Shanique. Taste the wings!!!

had the most beautiful solo stay at The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort, and it was exactly what I needed. From the moment I arrived, David at the front desk set the tone. He was warm, professional, and incredibly accommodating while helping me get checked in. He made the entire arrival process seamless and was always available whenever I had questions. It’s rare to encounter someone who makes you feel both taken care of and completely at ease — David did exactly that. One of the absolute highlights of my stay was the 6 a.m. sunrise spin class overlooking the beach. Waking up that early on vacation might sound ambitious, but it was 100% worth it. Watching the sun rise over the ocean while riding was such an energizing and grounding way to start the day. If you’re even considering it — do it. The resort itself offers so many great amenities — beautiful beach access, relaxing spaces to unwind, and everything you need to truly reset. For a solo trip focused on rest and restoration, it absolutely delivered. I left feeling refreshed, clear, and recharged. I would gladly return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful yet elevated beach stay.

After returning from a cruise to Panama we decided to add one more day at our favorite hotel in Fort Lauderdale. Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate as we caught a day of stormy weather. Fortunately there was another Stirme inside the hotel who is always like a ray of sunshine. Storme is the lone employee who we always look forward to seeing whenever we return to the Westin at Fort Lauderdale Beach. His caring manner & affable personality always shine through whenever we arrive. He never fails to leave us with a memorable trip at the Westin. Keep up the great work!’👍
