We found Courtyard Villa while escaping from the "Spring Break Dump from Hell" (Lauderdale By The Sea Resort and Beach Club). Courtyard Villa is located right on the beach, and 2 blocks from the restaurants/shops at the very end of Commercial Blvd, We loved the decor, the large jacuzzi pool, pulling beach lounges 50 ft to the surf, walking 2... more

My family stayed here as part of a larger wedding party, enough people that we basically booked the whole place. Upon booking this place, we were very concerned that of the few reviews a lot were very negative. Had there been an abundance of reviews with a high rate of negatives, we would have canceled with no hesitation. Instead, we... more

This is a property with great potential in an idyllic location, but maintenance is non-existent and house keeping is a joke. It sits right on the beach in the quaint village of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea which is why we've been coming here for years, but over the past two years, this property has deteriorated exponentially. The place is filthy and getting worse... more

I want to start off with saying that when I made my reservation Kris was very pleasant and answered all the questions I had and also informed me of the local restaurants and shopping. Upon arrival we were graciously greeted by the manager. Our rooms were very intimate, cozy and clean. Housekeeping was in every day including Sunday. We enjoyed... more

I read the reviews, but understand that sometimes beach motels can get a bad rap. Well this one deserves all the bad press it has gotten. This was one of the worst places I have ever stayed in my life. The rooms’ small, the bathroom smaller and the hotel could use a bit of TLC, some new plaster, paint and... more

Stay away!!

We stayed here a few years ago and it was much better, maybe they changed the management. It was overall a very unpleasant experience, the rooms are dirty and the mangement is un-nice and un-cooperative. Most A/C aren't working, we found insects in the bathroom and even the outside pool/spa was very dirty. There are much better resort in the... more

Let me start by saying this property has real potential. We could have even dealt with the fact that it has become run down and in need of quite a few "touch-ups" if not for two facts--it was the most expensive of the properties we looked into AND the manager was extremely unfriendly. Our other issues included lots of mold/mildew... more

Stayed here for 3 nights on our way to orlando. A party of 10 - 6 Adults and 4 Older children. We all loved it here. I was very apprehensive at first due to there being no recent info or feedback from people who have stayed here recently. The area is certainly undergoing big changes. There are a lot of... more

I first booked at another hotel (Ft. Lauderdale Beach Palace, very disappointintg) After heading to the beach I stumbled about Courtyard VIlla and Mark at the front desk was very helpful. I quickly changed my reservations from the dumpy "spring break" hotel to the Courtyard Villa. My room was #4 and i had the sand right outside my window with... more

While the accomodations are eye pleasing, the hospitality level and comfort are abyssmal due to poor management and maintainence of the property. Non functional Air Conditioning in rooms; Incompetant, rude and dishonest management. Did not address the A/C problems for 2 days. Due to problems, mgr Casey promised a credit of 1 nights stay, 2 days later, mgr Stuart upon... more
