Fort Lauderdale Marriott Pompano Beach Resort & Spa

Overall very good stay. Hotel employees are so friendly and helpful. This is a smaller property nicely situated on Pompano Beach. What I really loved was it had all the bells and whistles of the larger properties without the crowds. Food and bar drinks at McCoy’s restaurant
were good. We bought the breakfast «for two“package with our stay and found it to be a good deal.
Our only complaints were the mandatory valet parking with a 25.00 plus 1.50 valet tax per day. And the beds could have been a little more comfortable.
As for the parking situation, the hotel is not that big to warrant this mandatory valet. On several occasions when leaving the property, we could literally see our car right in front of us and had to wait for the valet to get it.
As for the beds, it is rare that I get a great sleep in any hotel bed, but I did think they were a little more stiff than I would have preferred. On a side note, plenty of pillow options. I would return to this property. But the Valet fees would make me limit my stay to just a couple of days.

Book at your own risk! When planning my vacation I prepaid 3 weeks in advance for a guaranteed king room with a balcony and ocean view. When I checked in I received a queen room on the lowest floor with a view of the parking lot between the elevator and the public bathrooms. Worse than classic bait and switch– it was actually take your money and switch. When I went back online after checking in to verify my reservation I found the desk had changed it to the room type they gave me. Way unethical Marriott– My trust in you is shattered! If you’re planning a vacation my advice to you is don’t even consider this hotel.

Really nice Pompano hotel. Newly renovated rooms, nice size and well appointed. Very much in line with Marriott standards. I have to say, the staff here is really exceptional; very accommodating and will go out of their way to deliver the «extra mile». I experienced this from the front desk team, the waitstaff, and the housekeepers as well. Clearly they are well-​trained on the value of customer service. The one sticking point that I have are the parking fees– $ 25 per day is pretty steep for Pompano… this isn’t South Beach. It really pushes what would have been a really great hotel for the money into a more expensive proposition. Other than that, a very positive hotel experience!

Very much enjoyed my stay here. The rooms were incredibly clean and the staff was really nice. The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 is because of food choices. There are some great restaurants in the area but they are not in walking distance. We had to take taxis to get really good food. Overall, I would definitely stay at this hotel again

I love love this hotel.
I had my daughter’s wedding here on May 28^th. The staff was amazing and can’t do enough making my guests happy. They even went out of thier way to buy a baby seat for my nephew’s baby… THAT“S SERVICE. The hotel is clean and look out over the ocean. Food is outstanding. But the staff is rated 6 stars in my book.
Thank you again

My husband and I booked the Marriott in pompano beach a week ahead of time mostly because we were flying into ft lauderdale and wanted to use Marriott points. Overall the hotel appeared clean and we enjoyed our ocean view balcony. The beds were very comfortable, although we could hear doors slamming from our neighbors. This was only an issue Friday night.
The pool area had plenty of seating. I was happy to see that there were always lounge chairs available and for the most part, people did not reserve the chairs all day near the pool, even if they were not in use. There were also plenty of towels available poolside.
There is a poolside bar with a waitress taking orders. We brought our own beer to the pool, which didn’t seem to be a problem since nobody said anything to us the entire time.
We did not rent a car due to the $ 25/​night parking fee. There were always ubers available, which was convenient. The location of this hotel is great being on the beach, but we did have to drive about 15 – 30 minutes if we wanted to go out to dinner. When researching hotels, I knew I wanted Marriott to use points and on the ocean. This hotel did both of these.

We could not have asked for better service than we received. Of course the beds at Marriott are always the MOST comfortable!
The staff go above and beyond to ensure you feel welcome and enjoy your stay.
While being a bit far from night life, a nice walk down to the pier, (be sure to stop at Razzleberry’s (home made ice cream at its best!)
If you want to explore FLL further you will need a car, or use Über. Which will save you the parking fee.
It is a great place to just relax and enjoy the ocean.

Service truly wonderful. Rodrigo who brought our room service each morning before heading out for the day was inspiring in his hospitality capabilities and cheerful, humble demeanor. A true gentleman!
Car price for valet super expensive as others have mentioned. Not sure why. But service was prompt and accommodating as was the service at the front desk and restaurant. Whomever is training the staff has done a great job. Room was also clean and inviting and public spaces well maintained.

We usually stay at the Harbor Beach Marriott when in Fort Lauderdale, but with that resort hiking up its prices to ridiculous levels, we decided to give this one a try this year. We’re glad we did.
The location is excellent, with great beach views from the balcony. It’s in a fairly subdued area in Pompano Beach, surrounded mostly by condos. You have to drive if you want to go out to eat or to a bar or whatever, but it also means that things are very quiet and chill. One drawback of the location is there is no parking lot, so you must valet for $ 25/​day.
Our room was very nice with a large balcony. The pools are not the best — one looked kind of dirty — but good enough, and the pool area itself is nice with an outdoor restaurant/​bar. They had pretty good food and a surprisingly good craft beer selection for a hotel — at hotel prices, of course, so not cheap. But not back-​breaking either. It was a little strange that you basically had to enter the pool area through the indoor part of the restaurant, even in a wet bathing suit, unless you wanted to go all the way around the hotel. That traffic flow can definitely be improved.
The staff here was extremely friendly. They always had a smile on their faces and helped us with whatever we needed. That made our stay very enjoyable.
The Harbor Beach is a much more luxurious Marriott in the Fort Lauderdale area, but for the value this one is a good option as well, especially if you’d rather avoid the crowds.

This is a beautiful, low profile hotel that is great for a little sun and fun. The staff was stellar! From check in to check out everyone was top notch. The restaurant was terrific + servers friendly. Check in was great and super fast and friendly. The hotel is gorgeous, newly built and a nice place to be. I loved it and will keep coming back.

This hotel is amazing. The staff are really nice, the ambiance and comfort are amazing. The pool area and bar were my favorites. Overall we had a relaxing and wonderful staycation. Can’t wait for summer to get here to be back.

The Fort Lauderdale Marriott Pompano Beach Resort & Spa is really a bit of a hidden gem, and is actually more of a boutique style resort that caters to leisure and business travelers alike. While no two Marriott properties are the same, this location really delivers the best of the resort lifestyle with the simple pleasures of Florida beach living.
During my stay here, I really kept asking myself if I was at a hotel in Florida, or had I been mysteriously transported to a resort in the Caribbean? The resort is set on the oceanfront in Pompano Beach, a city that is ripe for discovery and one that has recently been named one of the top 10 «up-​and-​coming» U.S. destinations by TripAdvisor. So if you want to venture outside of your little slice of paradise, there is more than enough to keep you occupied. If you need something for your business, you can utilize a grand total of nearly 4,000 square feet of meeting space for a customized event that will have guests talking for years.
Guests of Fort Lauderdale Marriott Pompano Beach can enjoy fresh local fare and speakeasy style drinks at McCoy’s Oceanfront where you can enjoy a classic cocktail menu that features fresh pressed juices and dark spirits paired with seasonal seafood in a casual setting. If you want to be pampered, you can treat yourself to a well deserved massage, facial, manicure/​pedicure, body scrub or waxing as you hear the therapeutic waves crash outside of SiSpa. Of course there is the poolside relaxation with two pools and a hot tub and beach access with water sports.
What’s really impressive is the fact that private balconies with views of the Atlantic Ocean are afforded to all of its generously appointed 194 guest rooms and 25 suites. Speaking of those guest rooms and suites, after you’re done indulging in stunning ocean views from your private balcony, you can get a peaceful night’s sleep on pillow top mattresses, in a very spacious room. After your beauty rest you can wake up to a Florida sunrise and start the day with a newspaper delivered to your room upon request.
If you want to keep in shape and keep up that beach body, Marriott Pompano Beach has you covered there as well. Not only do they have the latest in top of the line cardiovascular equipment, with free weights, treadmills, elliptical machines and bikes, but the fitness center also includes a stunning view of the ocean skyline.
All work and no play makes for a dull day, so you must go outside and play. There are two very nice swimming pools and a fantastic hot tub on the property with plenty of lounge chairs and towels for all. If the beach is calling your name, you can enjoy private access to a gorgeous beach with Jet skis’ available, Surfing and Volleyball, or you can just relax and chill in a private cabana.
Night time is the perfect time to hang out with family and friends, and Marriott Pompano Beach has plenty of things to keep the conversation going all night long. The fire pit was a hot spot, literally and figuratively during my stay and many people seemed to enjoy drinks from McCoy’s and conversation by the fire with a cool ocean breeze at night. The pools and hot tub are also open at night.

This is by far one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed at. The management needs to go! My family stayed there for a wedding and was promised a certain rate. However after we got there, the management raised the rate to something significantly higher. I called the front desk and spoke with someone who assured me that they would lower our rate. The day that we were checking out, I looked at my bill and it still had the higher rate and spoke to the hotel manager who was very rude and refused to lower it.
The management is shady and will try to milk every dime out of you. This hotel does not deserve the Marriott Brand name. Do yourself a favor and find another hotel in the area because this one is not worth the money!

Just got back from my first trip to Florida and had a great experience at this hotel. It wasn’t the newest of hotels but well taken care of. I was the for a conference at the hotel and they did an amazing job of hosting us. The best part was the customer service! 5 stars on everyone I came into contact with. The little bar and restaurant had the best food we had our entire stay. The view was just breath taking. The rooms were large an very clean. The had a couple of pools and a hot tub. Just overall one of the best experiences I have ever had with a hotel.

My overall stay was very nice and the staff is REALLY awesome. There are a few things I wasn’t satisfied with which I will explain in categories:
Parking–
$ 25/​day for valet parking which you a absolutely must do there is not much around so it’s almost better just to pay the daily fee because the browsed county buses are extremely inconsistent and cabs are very expensive. Also Über is not allowed in broward county so your options are limited.
Dining–
This is also tricky the food is mediocre and VERY expensive. The menu is limited and the kids menu is a bit pricey as well. Nothing else is in walking distance other than Seaside Grill which the food there also turned out to be disappointing. At seaside grill on Wednesday they do have filet mignon mean which would probably be worthwhile for $ 14.99.
Rooms–
VERY nice and comfortable. Housekeeping did an awesome job despite the mess my kids made on a daily basis. They cleaned in a timely manner and all items were replenished accordingly.
Beach–
A little rough and murky. Tons of dragonflies which I heard was because of the storm. Chairs and Cabanas were really expensive only thing included are towels. The cabana/​bed was $ 62.50 and chairs were $ 20+ each which I thought was unreasonable since it was througjt the hotel. on the upside sandwich is beautiful and in walking distance to lighthouse and pier.
Pools–
Awesome and hot tub is great as well. Plenty of seating and restaurant/​bar is in the center of both pools.
Not sure if I would stay here again

Das Hotel ist wirklich zu empfehlen. Die Zimmer sind groß, sauber und schön eingerichtet. Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Meerblick und Balkon, einfach super für ein Essen am Abend auf dem Balkon :-)
Die Pool-​Area ist auch sehr schön, wenn der Pool auch mal gereinigt werden könnte vor lauter Sand.
Das Personal ist überaus freundlich und zuvorkommend.
Einziges Manko ist das teure Valet-​Parking (25 $ p.d.) um das man nicht herumkommt, wenn man ein Auto hat.

This was my first trip to Pompano Beach; had a GREAT time, due in part to a great Marriott with FABULOUS staff! Every need we had, staff exceeded our expectations! The room was beautiful, spacious and very well appointed! Location was easy to find and relatively convenient (under 30 minutes drive time) to Ft Lauderdale Airport.

Stayed for the fourth of July weekend. As a local, wanted to get away for a ‘staycation’ and used Marriott rewards points to stay here. First of all, it’s ocean front and an ocean front view… so 5 stars for that alone. But tick, tick, tick… as the stars fall away from there… no hot running water, (1) one bathrobe in the closet for two adults… everything at this place was SUPER SUPER expensive… especially when it comes to kids food, adult beverages. The majority of the people staying here were from out of town… so I guess it is a tourist trap and they don’t mind paying. I think $ 18 for a hot dog and bag of chips at the pool 4^th of July bbq is pretty crazy price to pay for a kid… and when you have 2 kids… you get my drift. Adult drinks starting at $ 17 for one… and then ‘bucket’ cocktails are $ 23 dollars with $ 13 refill… bucket the size of a small red solo cup. So two drinks run you $ 36 dollars. My bad, as I should have prepared and brought alcohol with me and made drinks in my room :) woops. Bad planning. Next time… bringing food and snacks for the kids and booze. Dont’ get me wrong… food was GOOD at the McCoys Restaurant… for dinner I had the blackened salmon with tomato chutney and cauliflower purée… was perfect $ 20). Spouse had the risotto and scallops ($ 27) which he liked but was not filling for a big guy. No salad and no bread with the dinners. Wine expensive…$ 10 a glass for the cheapest one. Kids meal ok price $ 7.50 with drinks. Usual chicken nuggets, pasta deal. Breakfast was good as well, made to order eggs, omelets and a buffet with standard fare… nothing stand out but adequate for family — note nothing fancy… including no eggs benedict. Servers were arguing and yelling at one another.lol. Not a great start to their day. The jamacian lady running the place is exceptional!
Had a fun time with a magician who was entertaining the whole weekend — Mitchell Davie… great show and walked around and did tricks during dinner. He was GREAT!
Strange that the beach is also filled with seaweed… and I mean ALOT (like 2 feet high by the inlet stacked) … think it is because of turtle nesting season so I get it… but phew weee… stinky! I had fun and I would come back. Lot’s of fun things for kids to do, two pools, games, nice service staff… I’d come more often if I could afford to splurge.

After driving through a sad run down neighborhood to find the hotel, paying $ 270 for a room, $ 25 for parking, $ 65 for a cold badly served breakfast, $ 12 for a bad Pina Colada, and walking down a hall that reeked of wet dog and urine we walked out to the beach to grab a chair and watch the surf, only to discover that hotel guests are not given free use of the Marriott Pompano Beach loungers. You have to pay to rent them (even when skies are overcast and not another living soul is on the beach).
Needless to say, we will not be back!

From my understanding, this hotel was recently renovated, and it definitely shows. The lobby, bathrooms, restaurant and meeting rooms all were in great shape — no complaints there. The whole place smelled like Vanilla, it wasn’t overly intense, just a constant, subtle note.
Upon reading some reviews on Unilocal,we opted for an Oceanfront room — choice of the weekend! This view was nothing short of spectacular! From the sunrise to the Sunset and anytime in between, I was hard pressed not to be on the balcony taking in the ocean breeze and the scenery. This, by the way, is coming from someone who grew up on the beach, so rest assured it really is that beautiful!
The bathroom was my favorite part of the whole room. Coming from a long line of small shower or tub hotels, a large, stand up, glass door shower with a «rain down» style shower head was amazing.
I had a few gripes with the hotel, but nothing major. The first is that the hotel is valet only, and $ 25 per day. I truly despise valet, and will go to great lengths to not give up my keys. Not even having an option for overpriced self-​parking was upsetting.
My second issue was with the restaurant (if you can call it that) on site. It was mainly a sandwich shop with 4 or so sandwiches and a few salads. They had a flip open menu, but 75% of it was all cocktails (which I understand, but regardless, have some more variety please!). Maybe I have been spoiled by other resorts that have between 2 – 5 restaurants, bars, convenience stores or grills, but having only 1 place with almost no selection made grabbing lunch at the hotel between conferences frustrating.
My final issue was with the fitness center (who works out on vacation? I do). The cardio machines were amazing, with huge LCD screens on which you could bike in far away locations. I took a 45 minute bike ride through the south of France — not too shabby! However, the weights were lacking quite a bit. No barbell, only a small set of dumbbells that did not go over 50 lbs, and 1 cable machine. I don’t expect a full gym here by any means, but maybe remove 1 of the 20 cardio machines to add a bit to the weight training experience — at least one barbell!
Overall, my experience at this Marriot was positive. Easy beach access, a decent fitness center, beautiful rooms — it was just lacking any real food depth. Ultimately, that is ok because you are in a great location and can venture through Pompano Beach to find someplace nice to eat at!

This place was renovated well. My room was clean, spacious and had a great view. The staff was always helpful and courteous. My only complaint was the price of food and drinks. I know you pay for convenience but I have a problem spending $ 19 for 2 eggs and potatoes (which were only mehhh). If my company had not been handling the bill then I would have gone broke eating here. My suggestion is to eat off site. Otherwise, this was a great stay
