Nice hotel/accomodations. Very comfortable compared to the stateroom on the ship, but not quite as good as home. Spacious rooms at an affordable price. Easy to find and with a rental car shark valley is a wonderful place to explore the everglades for only $10 per vehicle. The air boat ride was also a fun experience. . .look for coupons on the hotel map.

This is a good choice for a business traveler or if you are passing through. Close to FLL airport and the interstate. Rooms are well appointed ( no bottled water for SPG members ) and clean. Pool area was in need of attention, sauna did not work and the big pool does not appear to be heated. Lobby is interesting and there is ample free parking. For the right rate this hotel will serve you well....geat dinner next door, highly recommended.

Booked the hotel after our cruise. The hotel has nice large modern lobby, rooms are large, pool area needs updating. When I was checking I asked about the shuttle service to the airport and was told its based on availability. I was told that its based on if the driver was available...which turns out to be the bellman. I was told to talk to the bellman that would be working the next day and he won't start until 8am the next day. Considering this was four star hotel, they would have better planning for the shuttle service....outside company. Given the uncertainty of the shuttle service I rented a car. I would recommend renting car if u plan to stay a day before or after your cruise. Its cheaper and more convenient. Getting hold of the front desk was almost impossible...seemed they had one person working...she was trying to manage the front desk, calls and staff. For a five star they don't offer wi-fi in the room.

I booked this yesterday afternoon through my OPEN account it is given 4 stars. Why I don't know. The hotel is pleasant enough located close to Broward Mall and seemed full of our friends from Brazil helping our economy, with bags of all sorts from stores there. Maybe Brazil air doesn't have a 40 lb, limit, but I digress....

The check in process was pleasant enough but when we arrived on the 5th floor we walked by a huge air conditioning vent return, old school not pleasant. The room was pleasant enough although in need of freshening. The toilet was the first use needed and I tried to flush and found that the handle was attached to the chain but because there was no washer on the inside of the tank it had no traction, so being the only one of 3 of us, wife, 25 yo son, I was the only one who knew to take the top off the tank and reach in and pull the chain up to flush (note to travelers, water in the tank is clean so this is not as bad as it sounds, but when full on BucaDeBepo and Chianti, and wanting to watch football it didn't put me in a good mood.

I promptly marched downstairs and was probably rude to the desk clerk who had just tried to help my some with internet (of course we are supposed to know the ethernet cord is in the closet!) Buy a 4g phone you can tether or use as a hotspot you'll be happier)...I said it is impossible that nobody complained about this as the toilet was un-flushable, unless people from Iowa or Lake Woebegone stayed there and didn't complain....

Anyway I should have demanded that the room be comped but settled for 3 breakfasts, where cheerios stuck to my feet (Jimmy Fallon where are you?) as we walked through the "buffet" and people were reachable into the bagels with their bare hands.

Redeeming feature? Beds were comfy and soft, hope we don't have bedbugs; major downer? see the pics, this room has had water issues before so somebody is not telling the truth......
