What a remarkable getaway place Our room called “the Cabana” was so pretty A separate door to the street and glass doors to the vast outdoor space including the pool

We booked this last minute and the owners were so accommodating Had we known there were pots and pans along with dinner plates, etc we might have cooked Regardless the Solstice is walking distance to the all the options on Wilton Drive too

William Troutman

My hubby and I stayed for the second time here We were there with friends for Wilton Pride Walking distance to almost everything

Jimmy is a great host Super friendly and welcoming Easy on the eyes too 😍 the rooms are cute fresh and clean Amazing customer serviceThe heated pool and grounds are gorgeous

Eric Caridas

We love visiting Wilton Manors and Solstice at Wilton will be the only place we stay from now on The location is perfect right behind the drive just steps from all the best nightlife and great restaurants James was a terrific host, with great recommendations for places to eat, things to do and great tips on how to make the most of a beach day! The property is gorgeous and relaxing despite being right in the middle of all the action

Can’t wait to return to Soltice at Wilton!

This was my second time staying at this hotel the first time was over 10 years ago and 10 years later this hotel is still great! Our room was very clean and there were no issues! Service throughout the hotel was great and friendly The pool is great and the servers by the pool are great The room came with a kitchenette which was very convenient! Additionally, this hotel is in a great location of Fort Lauderdale (thing are easily walkable near by like the state park and everything on A1A

Water taxi stops are near too) Finally, the view from this hotel is great Our room allowed us to see the ocean on one side and the city on the other Thank you Atlantic Hotel and Spa for a wonderful trip and even better service 👍

Darryl Murphy

We did a 5-night stay at the Atlantic Hotel and I will be coming back We had the ocean view suite which contained a kitchen, sitting area, dining area, a king size bed, two bathrooms, and an amazing deck We had no problems with the room

They have complimentary beach chairs and umbrella’s for the beach The entire staff was excellent If I was going to call out a very minor compliant it would be the Sky Bar it was staffed by a single employee, and although she was great, the kitchen was slow in getting food out to the patrons We look forward to staying here again in the future

Erin Schumacher

Not a single complaint From the beginning, we were treated with top notch service Our flight was early in the day, so we planned on dropping our bags and exploring the area, but our room was ready before 11am (which might have just been circumstantial – but still a nice bonus!)

The hotel is beautiful and the grounds picturesque Great centralized location Short walk to the beach, bars and stores Located on the sound, made for incredible sunset views in the evening We dined at the Secret Garden our first night and were impressed with the quality of food and service Our return flight was later in the day, we were told we could stay as late as we needed which was like having a full added day Highly recommend staying here! We are customers for life!! Well done Pillars

Mark Hochberg

Wonderful This is an oasis in the city We felt like we were on a private tropical island

The rooms are comfy and modern, open up to the courtyard with a small but nice pool, and a beautiful deck on the waterway The staff are fantastic Professional, highly attentive and helpful, and clearly care about the guests We felt immediately at “home” here The food is exceptional They have a amazing dinner nightly that is open only to guests and members of their private dinner club I can’t say enough about what a great stay we had Highly recommend this

GeGe Watts

A++I prefer boutique hotels vs large chains mainly for the personal touch and friendlier feel Their onsite restaurant is top notch, not even exaggerating

Extraordinary staff, professional and friendly I like how they arbitrarily checked on me to see if I was enjoying my vacation, not just as it related to my stayHighly recommend

Solace

So what to say I will start with the pros and then the few cons I have So the resort is quite friendly and comfortable, and all but one staff person was friendly

The place is down the road from The Bonnet Estate which is a must experience place for anyone It’s also extremely close to a lot and mostly within walking distance as well as being walking distance to the beach Nudity is allowed everywhere except the staircases or the few balconies they are facing the parking lots; sadly this was suite 3 where I was But I did get the best view of the hot tub area where some beautiful men were much of the time The pool is heated which makes the Florida heat somehow seem less scorching And I think it is a salted water pool as I did not have any eye burning, etc The only con I have is the firmness of the beds I have a bad vertebrae that likes to swell upOverall I am so pleased with mine and my partner’s experience here I hope to be back sometime

Christopher Kogut

Came for an 80-minute massage and to spend a few hours after I checked out of my hotel and before my flight out Couldn’t recommend more Curtis gave a fantastic massage, checking in on pressure and responding accordingly

They graciously welcomed me to spend the afternoon, even though I wasn’t staying on property, offering a place to shower before I had to leave I will definitely come back, but next time to stay at this beautiful small resort

A J

My husband I visited Fort Lauderdale in March, and although we did not stay at the resort, we did book a few spa sessions, which came with a day pass to the resortThe spa was fantastic! Both of us had a sugar scrub and a massage, and while I was there I also booked a back facial Roberto was my therapist for both the scrub and the massage, and I cannot say enough good things about him

The scrub was like nothing I ever experienced before – so relaxing, so luxurious feeling, and so rejuvenating The massage was also wonderful – a nice combination and muscle rubs and stretches I would do both again when I come back for a visit, and I would definitely request Roberto because he was so amazing Not only were both treatments enjoyable, but Roberto was extremely friendly, put me at ease immediately, and seemed like an all around great guy I enjoyed our conversation as much as I enjoyed the scrub and the massageI was excited to get my first back facial, too I had never had one before and had been wanting to try one for a while Paula did my treatment and was also wonderful She also gave me some really good advice for keeping my usually terrible back skin in a good shape I would definitely get another one, or maybe try my first facial with PaulaOverall, I can’t recommend the spa enough If you only have time for one visit, do not miss out on a scrub You will not regret it

K Davis

We had an amazing stay We spent five night and the staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating The grounds were very well taken care of and the room was very clean

Breakfast was served daily It may not have been a hot breakfast but a bagel or English muffin was what we needed to soak up some of the alcohol from the night before Everyone staying at the property was extremely friendly also, mostly a very put together casual group of men Generally after 10pm things started to quiet down a bit at the property but if you were not interested in going out to the bars you could generally find a small group of guys in one of the two hot tub to drink with and have conversation I will definitely return

Trevor Chauvin

The rooms? Basic, but clean and comfortable How much time do you actually spend in your room anyway? Especially when the pool, guests, and staff are so greatThe grounds? Beautifully manicured and green

The pools? Clean and brightThe staff? Ray is the super kind and helpful Minus one grumpy man the rest of the staff is attentive and great!Now for the mushy part I have tried to start this review over and over again I can’t quite put into words the magic that this place creates This was my first solo trip and I was nervous to say the least The staff greeted me warmly and I immediately was made to feel comfortable There is a feeling of community among the other guests You are welcome to roam from one property to the other, bouncing from pool to pool I quickly made connections with the other guests and I can confidently say that I made life-long friends We would spend the day in the pool, visiting, and drinking, then take our little group of travelers out on the town The guests range in age, body type, and ethnicity making it feel like a true community This place will even bring the shyest out of their shell I had many *wink* connections with fellow guests and it just made my visit even better If there is any doubt in booking here, please allow this review push you over to booking You will not be disappointed Thank you Worthington, I am not exaggerating when I say this place changed my life

Jose A. Marrero Jr.

Had a good time Staff was wonderful and attentive Though some of the visitors could be nicer, we understand that the owners have nothing to do with them and have no control over who visit’s

My second visit since 2003 and will not wait another (almost) 20 years to revisit Met a couple who are from our area and we made friends with them Let’s see what happens next year

It was comfortable, clean and had plenty of room for us and our stuffWe had breakfast every day delivered to us by the pool The water was warm and inviting and the complimentary sunscreen was a nice touchIf we’re ever in Fort Lauderdale again, I’m sure this is the place we’ll stay

This is the ONLY place to stay when in Wilton Manors! Villas are modern, extremely clean, well decorated, spacious & who can beat the salt water pools! The location is absolutely PERFECT for all the hot spots Mike & Jim were absolutely the best! Their warmth, friendliness, attention to clients needs, extreme professionalism & always being available for assistance 24/7 was priceless Mike told us all the best places to go & he was right!

Kyle R

Everything about this place was excellent Two pools with pretty impressive views from the rooftop pool We had a late lunch and breakfast at the restaurant and everything we tried was excellent (I do wish they had a larger beer list and/or anything on draft)

Location is an easy walk to the beach and to many restaurants Your resort fee includes towels, chairs, and umbrellas at the beach which is really convenient The thing that stood out most though was the staff Everyone was incredibly kind and helpful

Moss Arch

We come to visit Fort Lauderdale twice a year and we chosen again to stay here Excellent location, service and clean! Cory from front desk makes sure we are always welcome Thank you!This time we got to enjoy the roof top pool and thoroughly enjoyed pool and atmosphere

l and viewWould have given 5 star if pool waiter would come around and take order for drinks and food When asked for the menu the staff made sure I understood that I had to place the order at the bar I believe going the extra mile here would make it more attractive and in my opinion can be easily achieved as there the pool area is small

We ended up at this hotel at the last minute because our original accommodation was

gross This hotel was beautiful We had a huge room with a kitchenette and beautiful view Short walk to restaurants and entertainment we enjoyed a late dinner outside while listening to live blues from a neighboring business If I was spending the week in Fort Lauderdale, I’d definitely stay here again

Anthony Falls

Stayed here two nights before a cruise in February 2022 Prices were astronomical in the city and I was able to use Marriott Points to redeem my stay (instead of $600+CDN night) I really enjoyed my stay at this property

The view of the Intracostal water from my room was fantastic The bed was very comfortable! They provide a complimentary breakfast which was delicious I was very impressed The location is about a 15-minute walk to the beach and the pool area at the hotel was good

Essence Clayton

Only stayed one night The water view, sky view, and lights view is nice My room wasn’t as clean as I expected

The lamp shade had blue coloring on it The balcony wasn’t as clean, the bathroom floor wasn’t as clean either They have no pancakes or waffles for breakfast, but the eggs wasn’t that bad Coffee not for my taste The Bar has limited options, didn’t see a poolside Bar as it was advertised on Priceline I didn’t think it was worth me paying over $250 for the room

This was a great hotel stay! We really enjoyed the beautiful 2 Queen suite which was very spacious It had huge TVs which was great for watching the NFL playoff games We enjoyed the rooftop bar and pool area, as we were here to celebrate a birthday

The front desk team were very accommodating especially Allen and Terrell Although we did not use valet service, the valet team very polite and engaging in conversation especially Rowan We’ll definitely be back!!

Sherray Utley

The whole experience was terrible I checked out early and was unable to even complete my stay there because the experience was just that horrible The hotel staff were not hospitable and not what I am accustomed to experiencing from the Marriott brand

The room smelled bad Our concerns about the smell were not adequately addressed The first night they stated they could only clean the room but they were unable to move us to a comparable room since they were at capacity for the night The next day the hotel staff said that they would need to do an assessment of the room before moving Ridiculous! They then say they still are unable to move us and offered to clean the room again, which I was not interested in then having to stay in the same room where they are spraying with tons of cleaning products, also while our luggage is still in the room The manager followed up later on that day Finally, the manager told us that they would move us to another room on the same floor The manager stated she would leave a note with the front desk staff However, the communication between the managers and the front staff was horrible Once we were packed and were ready to move to the different room the front desk staff acted as if they had no idea what we were referring to They said they had no comparable rooms available I asked to speak with the manager and they advised they already left for the night Eventually, they “magically” found us a comparable room, but it wasn’t on the same floor as they promised Actually, the new room was now on the lower third level close to the highway, where we can hear the highway traffic all night long I imagine this wouldn’t have been an issue if the hotel had double pane windows The next morning we speak to the manager of the hotel and he is condescending, ignores our concern, and makes tons of excuses instead of apologizing for the many inconveniences we experienced during our stay After that encounter, I checked out early I moved to a full service Marriott hotel in the area And the experience was night and day I received much better treatment after moving to another hotel This Courtyard location needs to ensure they are adequately cleaning their rooms, especially if they are a pet friendly hotel But most of all, they need to learn to treat their customers with respect As a Marriott Gold elite member I’ve never experienced this type of treatment and horrible customer service I would never recommend staying at this hotel

Eric Gotham

This has been a pleasant surprise  For the price, I was expecting something a little more aged but it looks brand new   Even though its new,  the staff really knows what they’re doing – all very pleasant, busy, kind, etc

  Rooms are clean and spacious with large windows and televisions  Modern lighting controls and plenty of charging ports The lobby is contemporary, yet inviting It has a convenient little “store” for snacks and drinks  The restaurant, coffee shop and bar on the lobby level are OK – kinda the only thing that’s missed the mark Dinner is far better than breakfast The food portions are small and quality is so so (it’s a hotel, I get it) The real bummer is they say it’s not part of the hotel, so you cannot charge your room for meals or drinks  Same with the roof top bar

My boyfriend and I had the most amazing stay here The hotel is charming, with gorgeous decor and a warm atmosphere The location could not be beaten

I think it was worth spending a bit more to be on Los Olas Blvd and be able to walk to all the fun restaurants and shops And the pool! I loved the pool It was along the canal and was very peaceful and beautiful

Beautiful hotel right on Las Olas Blvd where there are loads of shops and restaurants Rooms are nice

Beautiful interior Location is great Across the street is the Boathouse restaurant (owned by the hotel) where you can sit by the river watching a continuous flow of boats Employees are friendly and helpful We would definitely return Can’t say enough good things

We want to express our gratitude and appreciation for the extraordinary service we received in our December stay at the Riverside hotel DENISE, the hotel manager was overly accommodating and efficient LORI, at the front desk made us feel welcome the entire stay

We felt the hospitality from start to finish Five stars aren’t enough to rate our overall experience!

My partner and I recently spent 4 nights/5 days at the Cabanas Guesthouse and Spa The highlight of the stay was most definitely the staff They were always very kind, sociable, and accommodating

The grounds were meticulously kept giving it a luxurious feel The other guests staying on property were all very friendly as most were couples looking for a relaxing vacation Some guests using a day pass were a little too “friendly” for our liking We stayed in a Waterfront King room which was clean and comfortable Our only complaints is the bed was a little too firm for our liking and the AC struggled against the Florida heat Overall, our stay was top notch and we’d recommend considering this quaint getaway for your next trip!

Hotel is 5 star level clean! Washer and Dryers are free also Hotel isn’t big which is great because you get familiar with the great staff! Pool is smaller and only about 4’8″ deep, jacuzzi is hot and toasty, Gym is awesome also Downside, the only ocean view is from the roof top, parking is $35 a day for valet there is no street parking anywhere! Would definitely stay again

Adam Reichenberg

Had a really enjoyable staycation here Rooms are big and the layout is like a loft The bathrooms are clean and super modern, shower was amazing

There’s a good restaurant/bar connected to the hotel and a rooftop patio Pool and jacuzzi were both great Definitely a fun place to stay, and still close enough to Ft Lauderdale Beach to feel like you’re staying there

The nice smell you walk into the building to doesn’t disappear until you walk out the door which adds to a great experience Rooms are clean and staff are friendlyI would recommend some adjustments:1

put some chairs on the balconies so we can enjoy the view2 the beds are not facing the TV so it’s a little hard to watch something3 Only 1 chair in the room, maybe add a second chair

We came for the sunrise from the veranda and for breakfast at their highly rated restaurant (We were not overnight hotel guests) Both were wonderful

Our server, she was great and the breakfast was perfect and delicious (forgot to take food pics) Morning beverage selection was excellent and many choices Eggs Benedict we’re perfect, side of fruit, side of bacon, orange juice and Cappuccino Nothing disappointed and my spouse felt the same way We will go again

MICHELLE SHERRER

Stayed with my 19 year old daughter for two days at the end of our spring break We loved the spacious room with a balcony and 3 large windows that gave an incredible ocean view Every employee and other guests we encountered were kind and pleasant

Outstanding live music and good food with reasonable prices Beach chairs and umbrellas seemed plentiful and included We didn’t care for the very small pool and lazy river which would probably be better appreciated by families Desperately needs an adult only hot tub and larger pool
