Lago Mar Resort and Club

The hotel and grounds are excellent! There are two pools, but screaming kids are a disruption. There is an older pool on the beach, my suggestion is to make that an adult only pool, and the sport pool could accomodate anyone, kids or adults. I spent Memorial Day 2008 there, and had to call the pool staff because of kids throwing balls and frisbees, and causing a complete disruption.....(and I am not an old fogey!). If parents cannot control the kids, then the pool staff needs to monitor what is going on. Evidently this hotel also has club members, some of them were disgusted and left. Not a place for a romantic interlude, although the hotel lends itself to that.

Lago Mar is an older hotel with excellent service and an excellent location with a beautiful private beach. It is located in the Harbor Beach neighborhood of Fort Lauderdale which is an expensive residential area. A car is must have for this hotel as there are no shops and restaurants within walking distance. The staff were all very friendly and helpful in all ways. There are no lifeguards at the beach but the public Fort Lauderdale beach, which has lifeguards and is just as nice, is just north of it and can be reached by walking on the beach or a 5 minute drive. We stayed there 5 days and enjoyed our stay. There is a nice playground for kids which our toddler enjoyed. Although the room was very clean and luxurious, the hotel could probably use some more renovations and maintenance. The indoor corridors smell musty; typical of an older hotel and pool could use re-finishing. So if you are used to everything being brand new and in perfect condition you may not be happy here. But if you are not that picky you will think it is a very charming place.

This is my favorite resort. The views are great and the rooms are mostly one bedroom suites and some two bedroom.

I had a one bedroom and it had one and one half bathrooms. It is great for people of all ages. The food is a bit overpriced, though.

This resort was great. There was tons of things to do there. Their two pools were great. The rooms were renovated and really comfy.

The property has its own private beach and two pools. The resort is family owned and operated and the staff are all very nice. The food at the restaurants are great. The rooms are clean, comfy, and spacious. There are two fitness rooms. One is old and outdated but open to everyone. The other, however has new clean and well working machines and weights, plus the machines have TVs on a few of them.
