We were down in Ft. Lauderdale for the YMCA National meet.We had six families staying at the hotel. Keith was very nice and extremely accommodating. When the air conditioner in our room was a bit noisy ( I am a very light sleeper!) he let us move to another room with no problem. All of us were very happy with... More

Our room was large and comfortable and the people staying there were very nice. The location is awesome. It's just a a few minuets from the beach and a short walk to restaurants... More

For the past 2 years, I've stayed at the Windamar Beach Club / Villas while attending a Fort Lauderdale rodeo event in April. My experience has been so positive it's prompted me to write my first online review. The exteriors and colors sport a 1960s era classic retro vibe, while inside, the living areas are comfortably equipped with modern bedding... More

bigdtallyfl, It's always nice to hear from returning guests. You are correct, the vibe at the Windamar is very laid back with a retro feel but the service is the same, or even better, than the service at some of the upscale hotels. We are very excited for the upcoming changes at the Windamar and in the North Beach Village... More

I always enjoy visiting the Beach Club. Keith the General Manager is very accomodating and sensitive to the guest needs. He keeps a gentle balance by running a large property smoothly and a call to immediate action if need be. Keith is a wonderful person and excellent General Manager. BB from housekeeping is a very warm and special person. BB... More

I've stayed at the Windamar Beach Club each year for several years and have been generally pleased with my experiences. The quality of the rooms varies considerably, however, so ask to see your room before committing. My most recent stay involved a monthly rental of a one bedroom apartment with which I was very pleased. The apartment was clean and... More
