Private Residences at the Atlantic Resort and Spa — Hotel in Fort Lauderdale

Firstly, this place is all for show... Its more akin to a showcase room than an actually functional place to stay.

When you arrive it looks elegant and spacious. Initial reaction, was this was a 5 star experience.... After a week there (feb '22), that initial 5 star fell to 2 star 😑🤦🏾‍♂️

Private residence at Atlantic, basically equals an Air B&B, inside a fully stocked hotel & resort. However, because it's privately owned, you get none of the benefits of the hotel (ie room service, cleaning, towels sheets, cots etc) and all of the hidden fees. Keep in mind u can get these things but the hotel will charge u out of pocket for each. 20-40 dollars just for some additional washcloths or towels, that the owner will not supply 🙄

Your left to rely on owners who are not there and do not leave the supplies one would need for a week long stay.

Pro's: looks elegant. Spacious. Relatively friendly hotel staff

Cons: Hotel staff rather not be bothered... Room key become demagnetized easily, roach and waterbug infestation , dirty rooms, no room service or ammenities fir the private resident rooms, false advertising rooms with feature not provided (i. E. Room with pull out couch for addition sleep arrangement , actually doesn't have pullout couch) nickle and dime charge for extra sheets or towels or cleaning supplies. Old thermostat that puts of fumes when adjusting or heating the room. Broken , non functional locks on doors. Dirty carpets broken vacum, broken iron , no sheets, no towels...

Lastly on day of check out ... After initially paying thousand and more... The hotel surprises you with a beautiful additional bills for hundreds more... For cleaning charges and daoly nonses fees and surcharges... When we went out of our way to buy cleaning suppliea and clean ourselves daily. Wtd?! 200 dollars for check out cleaning... When we arrived room, utensils and floors were filthy, so I dont know why they charge for check out cleaning... When place is dirty regardless 🤷🏾‍♂️

BUYER BEWARE and if you choose to stay... Just book directky with the overpriced hotel. At least then you get basics that a resort...

My friend and I got away last weekend for a girls getaway. We stayed in room 708. The room was beautiful, quiet and very comfortable. It has a balcony that over looks the pool and the ocean. It has a kitchenette with all items you might need for cooking. They supply water and coffee. There’s no where to hang wet bathing suits in the bathroom though. Check-in was seamless and Alex helped us store our luggage and gave us access to the pool area since we arrived too early for our room. The pool area is nice however there aren’t nearly enough chaise loungers for the size of the hotel. The bartenders were great but note they charge 18% surcharge in all orders. There were rarely towels available so you had to go back downstairs to get some from reception. Also the pool deck was filthy. Used towels all over the place. Dishes and cups stacked up and trash discarded. They need to hire a pool deck person to stay on top of that. The hotel is on A1A across the street from the beach with unobstructed views which is awesome. However there are no beach chairs or umbrellas to rent or borrow. The city has chairs and umbrellas for rent on the beach but none directly across from the hotel and they are already prearranged with other hotels so you have to get there early if you want to rent. Two chairs and umbrella will cost you $61 for the day. All in all it was a...

: We are still on property and truly don’t want to leave. This has been a wonderful 9 days in one of the most beautiful resorts in Ft. Lauderdale. From the moment we checked in we have been taken care of and pampered. From the front desk, the spa, the on property restaurant, the pool, the Sky bar. Our room (1008) is beautiful and so comfortable, the view from our balcony is incredible. One day we took the bikes for a ride and found shops and a cute grocery just behind the resort. Anything we need has been within walking distance, we took the water taxi one day and loved it. Each meal we’ve had has been amazing. I’d like to compliment the entire staff here at The Atlantic.. We appreciate your commitment to making our stay perfect. We will be back ! |||| Randy and...
