Our stay at Estoril Paradise Inn was for a little over a week. My mother and I had to move up our arrival date and, eventhough the place was fully booked, the Manager was very helpful and was finally able to give us a room. The next day we were moved into the room we had reserved. However, my mother wanted something larger and, again, the Manager went out of his way to please herandmoved us to a larger room accross the street. The room was very nice, air conditioned, with a small kitchen with stove, microwave, blender, refrigerator and very, very clean. Our trip was a combination business-shopping and the location of Estorial Paradise Inn was perfect, iIn a very quiet neighborhood, yet steps away from the mall that included a Target and Publix stores, plus cinemas and post office.
The owner/manager and his wife were extremely nice and made us feel welcome at all times.
I would definitely stay at thishotel again!

We were delighted by the cleanliness of the rooms and common areas, and were made to feel very at home. The Inn was in an excellent location and had everything we needed. Recommendations for local restaurants were outstanding, as was the afternoon impromptu social hour presided over by Boston Johnny. If forced to state a negative,it would be to request bigger bath towels

I travel to Ft Lauderdale a few times a year to check up on my investment properties and I'm always looking for a cheap place to stay. I came across this by accident on AMEX and will always inquire about this first - it's cute, clean, little known, close to beach/restaurants/shops, etc. If you have a car, definitely stay here. If not, you can walk to a lot as well.

John and Aileen were gracious hosts - they host a Sat pm happy hr at the Tiki Bar so all the guests can mingle (sangria and chips). It was a pleasant way to end the day and ease into the night. Highly recommend this, especially if you can't get a good deal on A1A at a major hotel (forget about the little known motels and inns - stay here!).

hotel is good if you have a car. I haven't, and spent much time to found this hotel. Nobody knows it.
I'd like:
- small, but good equipment & clean room,
- friendly & helpfil owner,
- nice courtyard,
- 5-minites walk to some good restauirants and shopping mall with Starbucks, Jamba Juice etc.
- complimentary wi-fi in rooms.

I don't like:
- very noisy air-con,
- 15-minites walk to dirty beach (if you want to go to clean beaches or downtown or Central bus station, take bus # 11, only twice a hour, about 1 km from hotel)
