Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa Review

The Room Attentdant, Wendy, was fantastic and went above and beyond our expectations!

Very nice place and good location. Rooms are very nice. Staff is very friendly. The price for drinks and food is crazy expensive; your better off going into town for better options. I understand the markup but $9 for a Truly and $15 for vodka and soda water is crazy.

Good venue, no real snorkel opportunities on site which was contrary to what the website mentioned. Rooms clean, staff very friendly and helpful.

Outstanding vacation complex with everything one could want.

I m in town for the weekend and had nothing but a great experience. Amazing resort. Staff was great and super friendly. Would definitely stay there again!

Beautiful beach resort. Great bar and lunch place with a beautiful beach access.

I was in town for a conference at the hotel. The staff is friendly, the property is on the beach and within walking distance of several local restaurants. I did not have a chance to walk the entire resort but I did enjoy lunch at one of the hotel's restaurants the day of my check out. The fitness center is probably the biggest I've seen at a hotel, a HUGE plus for me.

Great property with nice amenities (tennis, basketball and other fun stuff). One of the best suites we ve experienced.

Fantastic conference experience. Superb staff and very efficient...and welcoming. Pleasany decor, clean facilities. Wonderful, tasty food.

The breakfast buffet was extensive. The staff was very helpful and engaging. Excellent food.

Beautiful resort and amazing service.10/10 I would recommend.

3030 ocean is a great seafood restaurant. Me and my friend tried their house crafted cocktails and few appetisers. The food was worth the value. Even their ice creams are a must try.

Upscale resort with lots of amenities for families & business travelers. The hotel restaurant, 3030 Ocean, was amazing, best menu & service of my trip.

Stayed here for the first time for only one night and will definitely go back again. Rooms were very clean. Loved the pool area and the service that was provided by the employees. The private beach area was clean and not crowded. This is a very nice getaway if you live in the Miami area and want a nice little vacation without having to drive for hours.

Well we went there just to relax and have a little fun. The service was amazing and am thinking of going again

We enjoyed the area, super area for eating and shopping. Close to the cruise harbor

extremely happy with the service we received over the weekend. staff are super friendly. overall we had a great weekend

Very clean and friendly hotel. Beautiful beach and pool. The dining options could use a little work.

Super relaxing and friendly staff! Would definitely recommend!

Never again. And now I'm left questioning the integrity of Marriott and every property that they own. I wasn't allowed to give less than 1 star so I give the 1 star to the pool area and the kids club employee who actually took the time to explain to us what happens in storm situations.

Worst experience ever. Cockroaches. In a 5 star resort. Had to ask for bedding for the pull out bed. Waited 30 min for that. Rude front desk staff and management. 90 minutes and 2 phone calls to have the dead cockroach removed from my room only to have a live one almost crawl in my hair out of a lobby couch a little later. Auto checked out by the hotel on the second day of our stay "by mistake" and didn't know until we were trying to order drinks. Upon fixing that was informed we had to check out the next day regardless of our reservation due to weather. Had we not been at the desk asking about the auto check out we wouldn't have known about the hotel closing for hurricane preparations. Charged exorbitant resort fees for "amenities" we couldn't use. Nobody made any apologies for our inconveniences nor did they seem bothered by cock roach infestation. Marriott and the hotel specifically have ignored my emails and social media requests for any type of resolution. This resort is over priced for what they offer, staffed at the front desk by rude and inconsiderate people, and is infested with cockroaches. It's not worth the money in any way shape or form. Don't be romanced by the blue cones denoting "private beach" the rest of the resort (except the pool) is atrocious.

To whom it may concern,
Our stay in your Hotel was quite nice and we will return. From the moment we checked-in to the checking out it was a pleasure. Our room was clean and fresh.
The restaurant and its employees especially Jamelia was Great, she was very nice and helpful to me.
Thank you so very much for such a beautiful hotel.

Very beautiful hotel and the staff has been very generous and helpful.

Great hotel. Very pretty views. Nice staff, cleanly

The service is slow, but great resort and location. Amenities are great but they don't have replacement activities when it rains.

Clean, great pool area, beds were a bit too hard for my liking.

This place is great. Great views and people watching.

We had a really incredible experience here recently. I had asked for an upgrade to a suite as I was traveling with my family and celebrating my sons b-day. The manager was able to accommodate our request and keep the uncharge to a minimum. They also sent up a nice gift tray with snacks and a movie pass to use for a pay-per-view movie to acknowledge my sons bday. This is one of the only hotels directly on the beach in Fort Lauderdale and it is gorgeous as is the pool area. Oversized bean bag game, connect four and life size chest game add to the fun for kids. Happy hour at pool bar is a great deal, otherwise drinks are pricey but that's to be expected at a resort like this. Overall a great place.

Great hotel. Tons of amenities and right on the water.

Food and service was excellent and I love the beach... drinks were a little expensive but it was worth it..

Right on the beach... Drinks are a bit watered down, but passable... Rooms are nice and clean, but not over the top... Always something extra to pay for though...

Attended for a university that was there, and the service of the people who worked there was splendid.

Beautiful rooms. Large pool. Delicious food and drink.

They left a jacket with the concierge ... they warned me from the concierge who had it, I went down to claim it and it never showed up. You have to distrust

Beautiful hotel with nice amenities. Staff was very friendly. Room was reasonably large and clean with good view from a partial ocean view room.

Thank you to Angela at the front desk for going above and beyond for us on our special weekend! The wait staff in the restaurant is incredible, we barely noticed it was raining the entire weekend we were there because the staff was so great.

it is a great place for family vacations get-togethers beautiful pool food is great they have a lot of restaurants in there and the beach right in front of you

Great place for small beach weddings. Excellent service.

Beautiful facilities, awesome location. Amazing staff, good food.nice that there's a balcony in every room. Love it!

Great hotel! 3 restaurants and great outside area! Nice big pools and Beach as the backyard!!

Great beachfront resort close to the airport and the cruise ship terminal. Gorgeous views from the tower, beautiful sandy beach stretched out wide. The huge pool was steps from the sand, lined with idyllic palm trees, with chair-flag attendants making their rounds with local craft beers and Tipsy Turtle fru-fru drinks... and in the afternoon and evening the pool had a DJ, which gave it a fun lively atmosphere. The room was quite comfortable and from our room we could hear the waves as we fell asleep. Loved it.

Great hotel, friendly staff and a lot of activities to do. The beach is beautiful and is conveniently placed between the city and the airport.

I attended the harbor beach marriot for my high school's prom and loved every minute of it. The hotel is gorgeous with beautiful views and extremely good service. While the food was lacking i am sure that is not representative of the overall dining experience and i would definitely go again.

Lots of beetles crawling in the shower seems like a motel quality they don t cook the food throughly and the our room wasn t cleaned #beetles marriott don t care A lot

We've been staying at the Harbour Beach since 2004. It is a boutique hotel with every amenity that you need. Perfect!

Lovely resort to relax. Huge resort with a massive pool area and direct access to the beach. Guest services were very accommodating during our stay. Prices are inflated because it's a resort area. Very Kid-friendly.

This is my favorite hotel. Things have changed with covid so they don't offer many amenities but their pool area is awesome and you can't beat the rooms. I have a thing about hotels that still have bathtub showers I think they're gross but I always get a room here that has a real shower

The rooms were nice. I enjoyed the beach access, we did not use the pool or the restaurants. All the workers were really nice and professional.

Was there for business nice place right off the water

Nice place, amazing beach and beach activities. Beach restaurant is really good. Pool is a bit small for the size of the resort. Great customer service. I would definitely stay here again.

Pool was a mini poop tank with baby diapers, not swimmies, in it. Hepatitis what?? Hotels rules, what rules??!! Staff could care less. Smoking in rooms, who cares, we didn't but the people above us did, ALL OVER OUR PATIO! Front desk could have cared less! Breakfast server didn't speak my language so we was invisible with okHORRIBLE service. At $60 bucks for Mother's day breakfast, that's ok, I should just pay and shut up. Best thing I can say is the beach amenities are nice but spend your money somewhere else up the beach. I'm local and this is a NEVER WASTE MY TIME TALKING ABOUT OR MONEY AT HOTEL.

Was recently here for a wedding. BEAUTIFUL hotel lobby, the whole lobby smells like a spa, beautiful outdoor space, plenty of patio and literally right on the beach! 3 stars for the price you pay vs the service you receive. Also, they charge up the nose for everything. My shower was broken and it took 1 hr for someone to come up.... I didn't expect instant but when you need to shower for dinner it's frustrating to be waiting around in your hotel room for maintainence to come.... Well actually what I expected was to not have a broken shower in a fairly expensive hotel. Also expect to pay way too much for food at / near the hotel. There is a place called 'The Market' down the street that belongs to another hotel called 'The Bahia Mar' that has reasonable quickie deli style breakfast/ lunches/ salads. Overall I enjoyed my experience but would probably just go to a cheaper hotel next time and receive the same level of service.

The resort is gorgeous! We came for a meal which was very well prepared, the staff was friendly, and the view was beautiful. Afterwards we walked the grounds grounds which were luxurious and well maintained.

The hotel had great amenities, great service and was a cut above most other Marriotts. Room service was really good. I also enjoyed the bar downstairs.

Resort was very relaxing, waiters and waitresses were very friendly

Had a blast on my weekend getaway down here. Plenty to do on the hotel grounds, even more a stone's throw away. Staff was also very helpful and polite with even the smallest of questions.

Great food and service while you are looking at the beautiful ocean and sand

Awesome service! Beautiful renovated rooms. Great pool and beach is right outside hotel door!

Had prom here. Beautiful hotel on the water, so we could just take our prom pictures on the patio. Dinner and banquet space was good.

Becoming a staple adult retreat location. Love the beach, pool, bar, and restaurants

Stayed the night on 5/5/18. First issue here.. bags were delivered to the room about 45 minutes after our room was ready. A bit skeptical for it to take that long as our bags were retrieved about an hour before. The balcony was littered with cigarette butts. We then notice a used condom on the ledge of the balcony.. could have fallen from a unit above, either way it is unacceptable. Noticed ants all over the desk/counters/floor in the room. Had to dispose of some snacks that we had on the desk due to the ants. Floor also had hair from assumed previous attendee. Overall, the room looked unkept and not to full and clean standards; most definitely not proper standards for an elite member. We called for management to come take a look.. 30 minutes later, no one has arrived. Called again and this time someone appeared. They went to see what they could do for us and 15 mins later, nothing.. at this point we decided it was already late and wanted to leave the room as it was already the evening and too late to sit out at the beach. We suggested to have the room re-cleaned instead of exchanging a room as our time was limited. My allergies were also severely triggered in the room, which means there is either dust, mold, or roaches. Or all three.. Woke up the next morning and the first thing I see.. not the ocean, but a dead roach!! (The morning after they cleaned the room) Very high expectations here.. low deliverance. Bar is severely overpriced as is poolside dining.. $14 for a shot and $13 for chicken tenders. Luxury prices for little luxury... The pool/spa area was littered with drink glasses and cups and nozzle for spa was broken. We were all extremely disappointed with this establishment.

Husband and I stayed here in September 2018 for a business trip of his. We have been talking of going back for a vacation ever since! Glad we stayed an extra couple days on our own dime, well worth it! Service is fantastic and very comfortable rooms, the beach access and accomodations on the beach and pool side are luxurious. Walking distance to several shops and other restaurants right near the beach as well. Food is delicious at the hotel and good portion sizes, it's a bit pricier but that's assumed for the convenience of eating on site. Service is superb so didn't really mind a tad extra in cost. Look forward to returning for a pleasure only visit, amazing place to stay with all the amenities you could want! Highly recommend!
