This place is the BEST! Private beach, two beautiful pools, normally a spa and small gym. A playground for children in the sand, hammocks, a small minigolf, two tennis courts. There is a cafe and restaurant. The food is good. The place is beautiful. They give you as many towels as you want.

Last time we were here was 5 years ago, but Lago Mar Beach Resort & Club is still just as beautiful. The service here is exemplary. From the moment you arrive at the front entrance, to the final moments before you leave this wonderful oasis, you are taken care of. The staff here are friendly, knowledge and available to answer any of your questions. Though the restaurant did not offer the $35 per person meal at the restaurant (available in October), the meal we ordered was brilliant, and everything was prepared perfectly. This place is very clean. The lobby, our room, the pool area, and for the most part, the beach area was spotless. Well definitely stay here again thats for sure. Lago Mar is the perfect place to stay pre or post cruise.

The perfect weekend or week long getaway!Lago Mar is a Fort Lauderdale landmark hotel. The lobby and grounds are pristine, and staff service amazing. The rooms and exterior while incredibly clean, show some age (circa early 80s) but still holds its charm. We stayed in the Ocean front suite which gave incredible views, the convenience of a kitchenette, separate living space and two bathrooms. The food on property was all excellent-breakfast, lunch and dinner. Lots of activities outside of the pool, ocean and on-premise. Our only suggested recommendation is to add a ceiling or standing fan in the bedroom. While the AC was more than adequate we prefer air circulating in the room while sleeping.5 stars!

I loved this hotel. People are very friendly and the atmosphere is nice. The only thing I didnt like was that they only have parking for one car, which is ridiculous because I dont mind paying for another vehicle but they dont even have it. We went to celebrate a friends birthday and we were 10 people. But the hotel is nice the restaurant also they have good food the beach the pool I liked everything. Highly recommended!

Price is not consistent with value. Pool and beach are very good. Building is outdated and worn out. I understand that it is non-smoking building yet not being allowed to smoke at the balcony is rediculous.

We love this place so much...its seriously like a home away from home for me and my family! We live in Plantation so going to Lago Mar is a staycation for us but is so fun and worth it every time. the customer service is top-notch and the place is comfortable without being pretentious. The food is great, the rooms are large and relaxing, and we love they dont charge extra for all the things like wifi or parking etc. Overall, its a great place and we will continue to always choose it for our local vacations and events!

A jewel of a resort tucked away that is off the beaten path. A true Florida resort right on the beach just north of the cut that the cruise ships use to enter/exit Port Everglades. The food (I tried the Poke Bowl) was outstanding as was the service. I didnt think we had this caliber of old world service left in South Florida anymore!

We were here for 7 nights and i wouldnt have changed a thing! The location is unbeatable, the staff are absolutely fabulous, the beach is private and pristine, the drinks are amazing, the pools are clean and warm, the etire place feels like a ritzy mansion! We will absolutely be returning in the future!

Lago Mar has been such a special place for my family for over 20 years. Every time we visit, it is better than the last! This past trip was amazing. It was made especially amazing by our server Travis from the Promenade. This guy gave so much heart into his work and quickly became my favorite person ever. Lago Mar if you are seeing this, give this man a raise! He hustled so much and even memorized our orders. It was so so hot out, had a mask on, and he never even looked tired. Travis is the gem of Lago Mar... he is truly the best. If you ever visit, say hey to Travis!! Erich at the front desk is also great too! Thank you Lago Mar!!

Private beach very secluded for a Fort Lauderdale resort. It is on the beach, no street to cross.

Love this hotel. Is great for families with kids.

The resort, service, and amenities are great. The onsite restaurant not so much. I will contribute the restaurant shortcomings to the COVID pandemic, but we felt it was overpriced for the options available and overtly attempting to remain a dining option among the many fantastic options in the area.

Returned after 15 year absence. Hotel retains its charm. It seems a bit larger now and has some playground equipment. Guests and staff are very friendly and polite. Children are well behaved. Adults are too.

Positive: The friendly and helpful staff! The outside area was perfect for a vacation spot! Negative: Nothing

We booked on Priceline. Me and my teenage daughter stayed 2 days total. The decor in the lobby and the hallways are amazing. I choose this location for the pool which did not disappoint. The staff was friendly especially the guy who collected the beach chairs he is super polite and friendly and I saw him giving the kids rides on the golf cart. The beds are very comfortable although the rooms could use some updating. Staying during the week was the best because it was much less crowded then the weekend.

My husband and I, had an Awesome time at this Resort, while we attended a Marriage Retreat Conference over the weekend. What, I loved most about our stay, was the Diversity of the workforce; everyone was so Pleasant and Happy. Our room was Nice and Clean. I would give this place of stay an A+. Keep you the Good work and my husband and I will be back. Oh, I cant forget the Beach area, with only the Hotel Guest that have access from the resort area.

Great place! The pool areas are fantastic - we loved that there was a shallow lagoon pool for kids/families and a separate adults only pool. More palapas are needed around the pools, as all of them were reserved with towels very early in the morning. The Florida sun can be a killer! The food at the poolside grill was delicious. Service throughout the resort was friendly and accommodating. Our only other suggestion would be to update some of the furnishings in the rooms. Theyre a bit tired. Otherwise, the resort is gorgeous with lots of amenities and a large beach area. We will definitely return in the future.

Great place to vacation. The hotel and the staff were clean and did take precautions. Social distancing was just ok by the vacationers. Id return, just not during a holiday weekend.

Amazing rooms, awesome food and great staff! The beach access is so great. Even the guy out on the beach was top notch! If you want an umbrella, you will have to pay $25 but the lounge chairs are free. The bar by the pool was great. Great custom drinks. Lunch was tasty and dinner was even better! I got the shrimp carbonara and it was so good!!! Nice and clean and wonderful staff.

Michael is the best very friendly and very attentive with every need they really go out of their way at this place I will be back so friendly the staff is so so attentive

Very nice resort! Staff is exceptional! Pool is really nice and there is a bar next to it. The private beach is also beautiful! Family had a great time there and I highly recommend it!

Staff was amazing! Food was amazing! View was amazing! Perfect balance of activity and chill atmosphere. HUGE beach! We will definitely return!

After 30 years I returned to this place and this hotel and must say that the resort has lost nothing of its charm. Suite 565 simply wonderful and with magnificent views. Plenty of space with large bathroom. I will certainly come back, but not in 30 years. Thank you for the beautiful memories.

Great hotel/resort. Not a luxurious, top end 5/5 but 5/5 for value and experience. Great location but need a car to really get to anything outside of the resort.Excellent resort for families with a very safe feel. Rented a suite with 2 kids. Lots of amenities for families. 5 eateries (pool side and beach!), swimming pool for all and another for adults only. Beach a few yards away. Bathrooms all around with new renovations being done near the beach side. Playground with covering shade. Lots of chairs to lounge around. Tennis, mini golf, shuffle board, half court basketball and oversized chess set to enjoy for free. Extremely friendly and accommodating staff. WiFi across the entire property.Food was surprisingly good.Only negative thing was the need to rent chairs/umbrellas and tents for the beach.

Excellent Experience!We have extended our stay.Wonderful, courtesy staff.Only dealt with one staff that was curt.

The place is outstanding from the staff to the overall resort. Family oriented. Staff is so nice. The room was huge and afforadable for what you get. We had a 2 queen bed suite with 2 bathrooms. It was like a huge apaetment minus a full kitchen. Sectioned off nicely. It has a kitchenette stocked with plates. Grounds are maintained well. Beautiful place. I will definitely be coming back. Food on site is good. Great place.

Born and raised here-- I would highly recommend this place. I came here for a quick get away. HUGE private beach not overcrowded, good food, friendly service, clean spacious rooms...If there is a problem the staff will make it right. I love how Lago Mar has an old Florida feel with lush landscaping and shade all around.

This is a great resort. Minutes from the airport and downtown. Huge private beach with umbrellas and cabanas available. You pay for them but thats the norm these days. We had a great experience with the staff and the restaurants were great. Nice pools, one for adults only which was nice. Beautiful sunsets from our room which was nicely furnished with a comfy bed. We will be going back!

Overall, we had a great experience at Lago Mar between Christmas and New years. Seems like a great spot for families with young kids. Its tucked away from the main drag of Ft Lauderdale which is nice and it feels like you have the beach to yourself. The hotel interior is a little outdated, but that gives it some charm.

All is fantastic except the elevators. Most of the are old and out of order for day or two. Time to change it. But still this didnt ruined our holidays there.

Wonderful place to unwind. Awesome staff all of them. Great food and drinks. Lots of stuff to do.

We stumbled across Lago Mar when using our reward points and it was even better than we had expected. We had a delightful get away and are already looking forward to our next stay. This resort had everything - large, clean rooms, excellent service in restaurants and the spa, absolutely beautiful location a little off the beaten path and a fabulous family friendly pool/beach area that offered a play ground, putt putt, outdoor chess board, ping pong, volleyball, and so much more. One of the best hotels we have ever visited!

Very friendly, very clean. Beautiful private beach. Very personable staff.

I love the personal attention everyone at Lago Mar gives you I love that they take the initiative to remember you when you come back from the Bell service Room service Pool Service Beach service Restaurant service Reception all the way through Management More importantly I love the laid-back family oriented atmosphere without sacrifice to five star quality accommodations Dont forget your dinner attire which adds an extra-special touch to your evenings with fine dining The spa is exceptional Best of all its all wrapped up in a decor that is nostalgic for those who want a taste of a Time Gone by

Good hotel. not so good staff

Very clean and really good customer service. I recommend this place.

It was a very nice experience. The room was comfortable and the service was a 10. However, though interesting there was way too many iguanas around the pool and one pretty large one got in the pool. The only other comment I will make is the guest were listening to their own music for everyone to hear and no security to restrict the loud noise that went On very late.

I went here with my girlfriend in June for 6 nights and we couldn’t be happier with our stay. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained and the it’s in a quiet neighborhood. It was the perfect getaway. We originally were given a first floor room with a patio but that’s not we wanted to so they gladly gave us a 5th story room with a balcony overlooking the pool and ocean.The room was great. It had a separate bedroom and a mini kitchen and small table to eat at. Plenty of space for us.We went in June so it wasn’t very crowded so we were able to enjoy the private beach and pool to the fullest extent. The food was great, especially the room service breakfast which we ordered almost every morning we were there.On top of the great experience at this resort, the price was very affordable. We will definitely be coming back.

Positive: Christmas decorations, pool, location Negative: The furnishings are a little dated.

Lago Mar is exceptionally clean. Not a stain on the furniture or a hair throughout. Service was excellent. Beds could’ve been a bit more comfy but not horrible. Delicious food at the restaurant on site. Nice private beach with chairs. Towels are available at the pool. Mini golf, shuffle board and giant chess on grounds. Guests were smoking at the pool which I was surprised. Should have a separate smoking section. This was our 2nd time staying at the resort. Very nice vacation.

Great hotel in a quiet area. Great beach and pool with nice service both in shops and in restaurants. Good service. Nice area to walk in even if you do not come down to the water as most (everything) is private property. Great to see along the canal via the bridges over these. I would love to go to this hotel again.

Best place to play in Fort Lauderdale, Florida when waiting for your cruise ship.

This is our go to stay for a excellent night before a cruise. This is a beautiful hotel. The amenities are awesome, pool, games, bar, right on the beach, and the restaurant is great. Highly recommended.

Beautiful hotel and the grounds and beach were the best around. They had plenty of free activities such as beach chairs, pool, volleyball, basketball, foos ball, shuffleboard, and nice warm pool. The food and drinks were very good. We had four adults staying in a standard room with two queens. The bathroom was really small and we had a difficult time sharing it. With one person at the sink another could barely squeeze behind them. We also really missed having a hot tub. The weather was cool when we stayed and a hot tub would have been amazing. Sunrise on the ocean was absolutely beautiful! I would stay again.

Only stayed a night before we left on a cruise, I kind of wish I spent more time here. The grounds were gorgeous, the room luxurious, staff pleasant, lunch by the pool was flawless, even the resident iguanas added to the experience.

Great location. The beach is beautiful and staff is very friendly and accommodating.

Perfect service, perfect Staff. Definitely recommend.

Top of the line resort with a beautiful lagoon style pool in the center. The lobby is charming and elegant, and the grounds are impeccable. The rooms are comfy cozy with balconies that have an ocean view. The Promenade Bar by the pool offers delicious food all day into the evening. Entertainment in the Tiki Hut on the weekends. The spa is ready to pamper you at any time. The food in the main restaurant is absolutely delicious and the breakfast buffet is fantastic. Lago Mar is a hidden gem in Fort Lauderdale, a peaceful retreat.

This was our 3rd time in the past 4 years. Love this place. Had 18 family members over Thanksgivings and came back for a short get away this past week. Great for couples,large families and kids. So much to do. Relax at the pool or beach. Play volley ball,tennis shuffle board or do nothing. Many food options at the resort. Will be back soon.

Friendly staff and lovely accommodations. Room was clean and upscale. Hallways and elevators were warm which led to a slight musty smell. Food was good. Private beach - I want to go back!

Great resort but pricey. Parking is ehh.

Wonderful, first class resort. Very clean. Rooms comfortable. Excellent food and service on site. Well maintained pool and groundsFamily friendly too with tennis, shuffleboard, foosball, ping pong and basketball areas in outside areas around the pool. Friendly outdoor bar. Everything we expected and we are looking forward to a return visit for sure.

Great hotel! The beach in front of the hotel is amazing! Great breakfast and service I will sure come back for a long time! I love this hotel!!

Really loved this place! It was clean, the staff was friendly and the amenities were excellent. You have direct beach access and access to a mini golf course, giant Chess board, hammocks, a playground, foosball table, and volley ball court.

Great place tons of activities and very kid friendly.

Lets start with the bathroom shower wall tile was full of mold and knob was loose, it actually fell on my hand, so disgusting. We were getting charge for some drinks that we did not order because they dont take cash or credit cards, you pay with the room number at the restaurants or bars. The front desk said to used our room number instead and they charge meals, towels, drinks this way. So when you get towels for the pool or beach you must write your room number so hotel guest just look up the towel sign-in sheet for room numbers, anyone can see your information this way. Just as good as cash, not a great method of privacy, it was very disa

Thanks to the staff for making our group event extra special. Everyone enjoyed their stay and want to do it again next year. So much for the cold in Chicago and elsewhere. Florida bound 2021

The service here was second to none. The location is beautiful, right on the beach. The pools were very nice. The room was immaculate and well-appointed. This is not an inexpensive resort, but it is an exceptional value. The restaurant had a good lunch and excellent dinner. Very convenient to FLL and Port Everglades. The front desk service, porter service, and restaurant service was all impeccable. Highly recommended resort.

Lago Mar is a first class hotel with many amenities.The hospitality from the General Manager Mike to the front desk staff and everyone in between was amazing. I am a repeat client and I have to say that Lago Mar is always my first choice when visiting Ft. Lauderdale Florida. If I could I would give Lago Mar a 10 STAR

Todo estuvo excelente, buen trato, buena limpieza, la comida muy rica. Si puedes quieren pasar unos días espectaculares, se lo recomiendo 100%.

This was the breakfast cooks idea of an omelette... didn’t finish. Not worth 22 dollars for buffet. Joan and office staff Is great. Wish it was a little more updated for the high price.

Simply wonderful. Quiet place and friendly host in FL.

Beautiful breath taking Resort!!From the Resort to the beachfront and hotel to the pool you name it and its exceptionally so beautiful !The beach is and the water is so calm .... such a beautiful experience we had here5 star since everything you need you get it right hereAll the facilities were exceptional basketball tennis pool chess..... beautiful

Very nice and quiet, family fun, private beach, only bad thing is the internet, I guess a resort is to disconnect.. lol

Amazing place to stay. Well balanced between family and couples. My wife and I had a very relaxing stay. They surprisingly have great food as well.

Everything you could possibly want is here in this resort. So clean, wonderful decor, great scenery, plus activities like basketball, tennis, ping pong. The pool and beach were wonderful. Customer service and breakfast buffet were also great. Our room was modern and updated . I literally cant think of a single complaint. We will definitely be back! Thank you Lago Mar

Beautiful resort for tourists / holidays. However, it feels a bit dated and is not very well equipped as a conference hotel.I went there for a conference. The website didnt really work with the group discount code, so I called to reserve a room. I had to change my reservation but there seem to be very regit structures in place. Not everyone could access group reservations. It all felt a bit clunky and old fashioned. The hotel needs to work on their website reservation system!The room I got was huge with separate living and bedroom, small kitchen, amazing balcony, view on pool and ocean. But no desk, no convenient outlets, I could not even use my mouse on the all glass table. Light switches were inconveniently placed. No USB outlets. The hotel was definitely designed to enjoy holidays, not to get any work done. The conference room itself used a mobile projector and an outdated headset. It all worked out, but again: everything felt a bit dated.Two Teslas were trying to find a charging outlet in the parking garage. The front desk did not know anything about how this might work. In the end we managed to hook the cars up to standard 110V outlets (which might not work for everyone). However, everyone was very friends and eager to learn. I got the impression that the management is realizing that time cought up with this hotel and they are trying to join the 21st century. :)Either way: its a great place for holidays.

Absolutely a wonderful place when you have children so many things to do from basketball on the beach, volleyball, playground, foosball, mini golf, swings, ping pong, shuffleboard, tenmis courts, two pools, beach access and wonderful food cant wait to come back!

A hidden gem in Fort Lauderdale. Amazing ocean front resort. Great views, Palm trees and pool area. Great family getaway spot. Staff and service are impeccable. Food always delicious.

It was a good stay and I loved the room! Right on the beach with chairs and cabanas, it was really great!

Easy access to the beach. The buildings were beautiful. The rooms were spacious and really nice. Everyone we encounter on staff was super helpful and kind.

Loved this resort!!!! It is right on the beach, got in late and ate and took a swim in the pool. Slept peacefully and woke up to room service over looking the beach! It doesn’t get much better than that!

This place was amazing. Too my family here, we have 2 boys 8 and 11. They had a fantastic time. The beach was clean, and there were so many activities to do on the grounds.The burger shack was really reasonably priced as well, with pizza, burgers, chicken sandwiches, dogs and ice cream!We only stayed for one night so we didnt eat anywhere but the lunch shack, but they had several other food venues with an assortment of dishes.Staff was exceptional and the room was clean and well maintained. Well definitely be back here!

Everyone that works here is so nice and the resort is awesome.

My stay was very relaxing and, the services were great. Its right on the beach, with a beach view. I attended a church seminar and my entire group was pleased. The staff members were polite and courteous. I would recommend Lago Mar Beach Resort to all..I must go again for m

Rooms were dirty and nothing is included. Its a beautiful resort but since nothing is included in the already expense room rates, it is far from a resort. The staff though was great.

Great place and great service. Very impressed. Will be coming back. Special call-out to the beach attendant, Jaime as he went above and beyond to help us out. Great man. He inflated some inner tubes for us which was greatly appreciated.

A friendly, happy place to relax with family and close friends. The staff is personable and always concerned you are comfortable and happy here, like family. 10 years we have been enjoying boat show season at The Lago Mar.

Great place. You can almost see port Everglades

Lago Mar, best resort, great environment, Super kids friendly. The room was amazing with the pool and ocean view at the same time, couldnt be better.Great Staff, claudia Gutierrez, event Director was super helpful at all times, Ursula Food and beverages Director was amazing, cant forget breakfast while we were here, buffet style, clean service, waiters outstanding costumer service, front desk, housekeeping force,thanks for maintaining our suite spotless, and bellman team always sharp, definitely a beautiful place to spend my family vacations, the beach is well maintained along with the other facilities, will recommend their shop for little gifts. Great inventory. Over all a keeper. However is reading this review, please give your self the opportunity to stay here, 100% satisfaction guaranteed. Me my wife Diana and my two kids Mia and Austin, will book another visit to have lots of fun at Lagomar Resortfort Lauderdale.Thank you all for a fenomenal experience.Best.Torregroza Family.

The location by the beach was nice and the transfer to the cruise port was also convenient. Staff was very helpful.

One of the last traditional Fort Lauderdale hotels, still family-owned. Warm, family-friendly atmosphere with good food and direct access to the beach. Rooms are spacious and cosy.

Ok but the hotel is a bit old. Staff is very very nice and helpful. Lovely people. The beach is a little dirty. However the pool is great. Awesome for families because everyone is super friendly and helpful.

If you want quiet, elegance, and awesome service, this is your place. And, it will not break the bank!

Always resort perfection. Staff are over-the-top accommodating. There are multitudes of opportunities with golf, life-size chess, shuffleboard....and two very large pools. And I cant say enough about the private beach....

A great place if you have the money for it, the staff they employ are hit and miss. Sometimes you encounter the most helpful and friendly staff members, while other times they are just plain rude. The beach is absolutely lovely and clean, but it does cost extra to rent the chairs and umbrellas they have put there. The food is so-so during the day, but the evening menu is great. Especially the mushroom ravioli!

Nice resort overall. A bit on the older side and lacks the setup for a good social experience. All in all, I enjoyed my stay.

Easy check in. Great drinks, good food. Easy to relax here.

Amazing place. We took our 5 year old son and 16 year old daughter and this hotel had something for everyone. The hotel beach was so lovely that we didnt really feel the need to go anywhere else during our stay. The rooms are lovely, spacious and clean. The beds were very comfortable. We will definitely come back.

If you are traveling as a couple, just know up front: this is NOT a quiet resort. This place is very very family oriented, which is great, but along with that come a LOT of noise in the hallways, on the balcony, at the pool, and in restaurants. Also with kids comes kid-related messes that the hotel wasn’t always super quick to clean up. With that being said, overall we enjoyed our stay at lago mar. The beach is fantastic, much more peaceful and serene than the hotel with warm clear water. Wish they didn’t charge extra for beach chairs and umbrellas. The room itself was clean and spacious, although the shower is tiny. The bed is very comfortable. The food at the restaurants is decent but nothing to write home about, especially for the price. The staff was friendly but seemed rather disorganized. Our other big complaint was the parking. They provide free parking at the hotel, but the spots available are TINY, even compact cars can’t fit without touching both lines— someone scraped up our rental car while it was parked here and they said there was nothing they could do.

We were very pleased with our stay at Lago Mar. The hotel is right on the beach with easy access to the water. Its also a short walk from the Ft. Lauderdale jetties, which is a nice spot to watch the sunrise. The hotel restaurant served a great breakfast. They also upgraded us to a suite, which we thought was very spacious and clean.

Absolutely beautiful property with old school craftsmanship and retro Florida charm. This resort has by far the best beach in Ft. Lauderdale, if that isnt your thing the pool is peaceful and lush. The room was very large and the bed as comfortable as your own. The housekeeping staff would slip in and refresh the room in minutes. Overall, if you are looking for a great Ft. Lauderdale resort this one is a must do.

We stopped here on our way to a cruise. Fantastic pools. Amazing beach and do many things to do. The rooms are very spacious and the brunch was fantastic.I would go there again in a second.

Beautiful, wonderful service, beach was excellent! You pay for what you get.

Great place for family vocation. We visited it during boat show and it’s just 10 min by foot to reach Luxury Yahts Village.Hotel have two swimming pools, tennis courts, few restaurants and great own beach line.Definitely recommend.

Beautiful room and view. Met here for a work conference and didnt want to go home.

Had great time ! Everyone friendly ! staff was great and they ensured that everyone was having a great time. If you need a mojito made ask for Chuck! Great view of pool and ocean.

The property is nice but the service is quite lacking which is sadly the norm in Florida. Customer service and prudency just aren’t values down here. All of the dishes in the kitchenette had grease stains on them. Housekeeping plugged the sink so I guess I’m expected to stick my hand through the clogged sink to remove the plug.
