Wilton River Suites (Adults Only)

I stayed at Wilton River Suites for a week and could not have been happier with my experience. The premises are spotless, beautifully maintained, and surrounded by lush landscaping. The amenities are top-notch, including a gym, pool, and hot tub. My personal favorite was the hammock by the dock, where I could relax with a drink and take in the peaceful surroundings. For those who enjoy the water, kayaks and paddle boards are available, and the Friday and Saturday happy hours from 5–6 PM were a wonderful bonus. The apartment itself was extremely spacious, fully equipped with everything needed to cook and feel at home. I also appreciated being able to do laundry during my stay. A huge plus is that they are pet-friendly. My two dogs enjoyed their stay just as much as I did. The manager, Lincoln, was very accommodating, and his sidekick, Mitzi the Chihuahua, brought extra charm to the experience. I highly recommend this intimate 15-unit property for both vacations and extended stays. It truly feels like a home away from home.

I went on this trip with my three best friends (four Midwest gay guys in our mid-30’s) for a first-time trip to Fort Lauderdale. We arrived midday Wednesday (08/06) and we left the following Sunday (08/10). For us, 4-5 days was the ideal duration with the summer heat of FLL. A few people during our trip told us this was considered ‘slow season’ in the area, but we enjoyed our stay immensely. The gay bars had a decent crowd each night, and no big crowds elsewhere (shops, restaurants). We were extremely happy with our lodging choice at Wilton River Suites Resort and look forward to make this an annual friends trip for us. The pictures of Wilton River Suites were pretty much spot on with what we experienced. The shared kitchen/living room space was quite open and beautifully decorated. Our entire space was nice and cool the entire stay, which was a wonderful contrast to the 90*F humid days. The washer and dryer were easy to use for quick/small loads of laundry. The beds were quite firm with plenty of blankets/pillows. Each bedroom had a tv with streaming services to use. We had a small balcony off the living room with a table and two stools. The lobby of the building had a large ice machine which saved us from needing to buy ice anywhere. I enjoyed waking up and being able to walk a little on the treadmill in the small gym on the main floor to mitigate any hangover. The equipment all worked and was clean. There were outdoor bikes/helmets available to use, but it was a bit too humid for us. I personally really enjoyed the paddleboards/kayaks down on the dock just behind the pool area. There was some pretty wildlife (birds, lizards) to see along the river, but mostly other hotels/houses. The dock area also had a hammock for siestas as well as additional seating to hanging out. The pool/patio area was another big highlight of the trip. The jacuzzi was slightly more private behind some shrubbery which was nice if one decided to skinny dip while on vacation. It had jets that could be turned on for 15-minute intervals (which was a nice feature to keep from dehydrating too quickly.) The pool itself was clean with plenty of space to be able to chat with others or keep to yourself if you’d like. Near the pool area, there is a covered cabana section with lounge chairs we were able to relax under if it got too hot. It ended up raining on our planned beach day, but the sound of rain was lovely white noise to have while reading and sipping our mimosas from a coffee cup. On the weekend, there was a poolside Happy Hour for any guests in the building that week. We had a great time mingling with a small handful of guests (some vacationers/some long-term visitors) with beverages provided by Wilton River Suites. Lincoln (the concierge during our stay) was an absolute gentleman the entire time. He greeted us in the mornings as we'd head to the pool and brought out espressos for anyone that wanted one. He was able to answer a number of questions about the area for us as fresh travelers to the area. We found Uber/Lyft to be the best option as far as going out in evenings. Any trip to one of the local gay bars or restaurants was $5 or less (without tip). Publix was a nearby full grocery store (~12min walk) which was only tough due to the humidity. As long as you are just making a small run for booze/groceries, or picking up a pizza order, the walks aren’t bad at all. Plan to be a little sweaty by the end of the walk is all. But the area itself was nice and we had no concerns for safety. Any general necessities you can walk to within 15 minutes. Our furthest drive was to/from the airport, which was only about 20 minutes. I will add the bathrooms are not the most private/spacious if you are travelling with individuals that will take awhile to prepare before going out. There is a lobby bathroom that was often open and usable if needed. FYI in case you plan to book with anyone that takes awhile to get ready. Overall, I had a wonderful time on my first trip to FLL/Wilton River Suites Resort. The hotel was located close enough to be able to walk and explore the area. The pool area/jacuzzi was clean and beautiful. The rooming was just as lovely and welcoming. Thanks again to Lincoln and the Wilton River Suites staff. We look forward to our next visit.

Great get away. The apartment is newly renovated and has a great floor plan and so much space. Location is perfect and great amenities. Lincoln, the building manager, was fantastic. Pool and happy hour were perfect. We will definitely be back.

Lincoln is an awesome host. He was ready for our reservation and greeted us kindly. I will always go to this hotel for all my Ft. Lauderdale trips. Hospitality, amenities and service is wonderful here. Thank you for a wonderful place to stay away from home! :D

Modern clean spacious accommodating value

Wilton River Suites is the perfect blend of home and vacation! You will be treated as an honored guest, and yet, it will feel like you are staying at a friend’s (very nice) house. Check in was extremely easy, the suite was spacious and beautifully decorated, and the pool and hot tub were the perfect oasis on a hot summer day. Lincoln was so extremely responsive and accommodating to any question or request we had. Whenever we came across his path, he made sure that we were happy and taken care of. He is truly what makes this place the special gem that it is. The complimentary pool happy hour on Fridays and Saturdays was a close second ;-). It was through this happy hour that we met many people also staying at the Wilton River Suites. Some of whom became quick friends that explored the town with us. Thank you Wilton River Suites and Lincoln for making our stay so memorable!

Clean, spacious suites with incredible pool and dock. Lincoln was a gracious manager who made sure everything was always in order for us.

We, a senior married couple, had a most enjoyable stay at Wilton River Suites last month. Everything was tops...super clean one-bedroom unit, and well appointed. The resort's location was near everything we needed...beaches, restaurants, grocery stores, etc. The neighborhood is quiet and upscale. Free private parking at the resort is assigned per unit. A highlight was the kind and solicitous attentions of Lincoln, its manager. We will definitely seek out Wilton River Suites for any return visits to the Ft. Lauderdale area!

This is wonderful apartment in a great location, with a balcony situated right on the river and a quick walk down to Wilton Drive. Fantastic! Communication could not have been better.
