    The hallways are in need of renovation, but signs were there stating that was in the works. It is a little disappointing that for the price, nothing, not even water was included. Drinks on the beach were very high priced.

    We didn't have the breakfast. The lobby and rooms were nice. Clean and comfy. The location was great! Beach was well stocked with chairs and umbrellas. Staff was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly.

    The staff would close the pool and make everyone leave by a little after 7pm, they would also take all the chairs and umbrellas from the beach around that time even though sunset wasn't until 8:40pm.

    We loved the beach and having the bar/restaurant right there next to the beach. The pool area was also very nice!

    Needs some serious updating. Rust and mold on light fixture in my room. No microwave and they could use an actual ice maker. It’s a freezer with bags of ice. Not enough lounge chairs around pool. They have an adults only side with pool but never saw anyone in it. Adults not staying on bungalow side should be able to use adult only pool too.

    Cute hotel in Ft. Lauderdale
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple

    The hotel is need of some updating. We were glad to see they have some improvements planned, such as carpeting and lighting. While the hotel is listed as beachfront, the main building where we stayed is not actually on the beach. The walk to the beach is short but I felt it was a little misleading. They do have other buildings that are on the beach. In order to get beach chairs, etc., you must wear a wristband provided at check-in. These are not designed to be taken off and on, which is understandable, but the idea of wearing it to shower and sleep was not appealing. One of the biggest disappointments for us was that the winds were too strong for the beach umbrellas to be up. And they couldn't put them up at the pool either. My husband and I need the shade or we burn. I know the hotel can't control the wind but we could not find a shady place to relax and enjoy the beach.

    The room was comfortable and the hotel is pretty cute. We ate one meal at the restaurant by the pool and it was good. Had coffee at the coffee shop and were happy with what we received. The staff were pleasant. We had to leave a day early because of illness and the hotel refunded that night's stay. That was greatly appreciated!

    Oceanfront room should have a coffee maker. We brought our own but it would have been nice if we didn’t have to bring one.

    Kind of off the beaten path, fairly quiet with mixed crowd of old, young, families. Although so rowdy folks but all in all, you could sleep at night without being disturbed too much.

    Lovely location with pool and over the road access to the beach. Room was great. On the small side, but very clean. Stayed one night and chose hotel as 15 min drive to Chase Stadium (home to Inter-Miami soccer team).

    The prices at Backflips were way too high. They seemed to set their own prices and went up every time we went back. We went there less and less as the week went on. $23.50 for two drinks is a little crazy. Just sayin'

    Not a lot of ridiculous rules.

    • Bungalow One Bed without Kitchenette
    • Stayed 7 nights

    Our Bungalow room w/o kitchenette did not have anywhere (dressers) for clothes, no closet, we used the ironing board to put our clothes on. Shower had a one TINY shelf for shampoo's razors etc. Did not like having to wear a band provided at check to access areas. The bungalow pool was closed off a dusk, couldn't sit out at night to enjoy the ocean breeze, had to go to the bar for that.

    My husband and l liked the availability of lounge chairs and umbrellas on the beach, friendly staff would set them up! We liked having bikes to ride, the outside bar was great! Lots of USB ports for charging devices in our room.
