“Gay B&B offers good values”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

The Palm Plaza is a nice B&B for gay males. My partner and I have stayed at the Palm Plaza four times in the past few years and have stayed in three rooms during that period. The facility is worn and fraying around the edges, and the beds and bedding need to be replaced. But, the Palm Plaza is clean, three blocks from the beach and relatively inexpensive. It offers exceptional deals during the shoulder seasons and off-season - April to December - that are hard to beat so close to the beach. Early booking for weekends is highly recommended, because this B&B is popular on weekends throughout the year.

I enjoy the heated pool, which is deep - impossible to find now in newer hotels and B&Bs - and seldom used. Nudity is permitted only in the pool area, which is very private. The palm trees and other vegetation on the private property are very nice.

The Palm Plaza is a quiet B&B, mostly frequently by older couples and foreign visitors. There is no party atmosphere here. Not highly recommended for solo travellers, unless you have an exceptionally outgoing personality.

The large apt complex across the street from the Palm Plaza is abandoned, which is an eyesore. But, we have never had any issue with crime in the area, and our rented vehicle has been fine parked outside the Palm Plaza at night.

Steve, the manager, is one of the nicest guys in Fort Lauderdale - and he's a very hard worker also! Undoubtedly, many visitors return again and again because of Steve's warm personality and helpfulness. The other staff are also very accomodating and friendly.

You'll enjoy your stay here, especially if you're a frugal traveller. We certainly intend to visit the Palm Plaza in the near future!

Room Tip: We prefer a second floor room because of the breeze and sunlight thru the windows.

“The best yet”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 December 2011

person found this review helpful

The Palm Palza was the last guesthouse that I stayed at in Ft Lauderdale. WE spent 2 night in march before a cruise and had a great time. The room was large with a kitchenette and very clean. We had ask for a room on the ground floor because I am a heavy packer due to the cruise and I didn't want to have to schlep the bags up the stairs just for 2 nights. We had booked a basic room but since it was available we were upgraded. That means nothing to me but I know it does to some guys. The staff were friendly and the pool was very clean. I have a pool and being a bit anal...oh hell...very anal, that was very important to me.

This is probably the guesthouse I will return to either pre or post cruising. It is a great value

“Home away from home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

I have stayed at the Plaza for four months in the past year, it's my home away from home. Steve, the manager and Ron make you feel like you are part of a family rather than a guest, they are super people. The place has rooms that are tastefully decorated and maintained with cleanliness being a priority in this Plaza. In all my stays, I always met repeat quest who are now friends, the people that stay there usually quite, and respectful of each other and the premises. The facility has a garden and pool that allows not only privacy but like being in a paradise. I highly recommend this hotel, not only because of the facility but the friendly interaction of the staff that treat you like your the most important people to them and go out of their way to ensure your stay and needs are catered to without hesitation.

Room Tip: all rooms are excellent, it depends on the needs and wants of the quest. I have stayed in all types...

“Relaxing, Quite, Fun.....”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2011

people found this review helpful

Palm Plaza was Great. Located so close to the beach on Riomar street on the bay side, this place was relaxing, quite, clean, fun. Steve the hotel manager is Wonderful & Helpful. This place had only a few couples staying the weekend and it was peaceful. Our room was upgraded at no charge and was Huge, Clean, Quite. With a full kichen and breakfast placed in our fridge the night before we had a amazing relaxing stay. We will be back, Only a cab ride away from the bars and restaurants for the Gay Scene in W.M. Highly Recommend staying here :)

Room Tip: Second Floor Room # 23 was Great....
