Checkin was easy and the bellhop was helpful upon arrival. At checkin you pay the resort fee plus tax and $200 refundable deposit. You get a key card that you give to the towel person while at the pool when you return the towels you get back the card back to use each day. At checkout you must return the card or be charged a fee for it. The security is everywhere in the resort, you must wear bands and remember room #.
Valet parking is nice, we paid the fee plus tax to valet upon arrival. You drop at front door and pick up on 2nd floor. You best send for your vehicle ahead of time by calling or using QR Scanner. They don't like it if you just go to pick it up. I didn't push the text after read the QR and boy did I get schooled on how to do it even though I had done it right everytime but that one time.
The towels, chairs, and umbrella was not convenient on the beach. It was like 3 or 4 buildings north on the beach, so we used it once.
The elevator wait wasn't bad except the day we checked out, had to awhile.
The place was nice upon arrival. Some maintenance is need on doors to main bathroom. We couldn't close doors all the way or we would be locked in. We didn't have the use of 2nd bedroom tv until we realized we had to use the remotes to the living room tv. Could only watch netflix on one tv at a time due to one samsung remote, all tv were smart tvs but missing samsung remotes and one cable remote. The dining table is wobbly.
The kitchen was missing a frying pan, cake or cookie pan, pot holders, kitchen towels, and containers to put leftovers in. This items I bought at the store for our stay.
The resort is easy to get into from highway. Pool and all amenities are on 9th floor, one floor down from condo. The view was nice off the balcony even though your on the side of the building. You can see the Bay, city, and ocean.
The beach is not very clean at Hallandale area trash everywhere. I've been to much cleaner beaches north of there on the Atlantic side.
This place is only 15 minutes from Ft Lauderdale, the gulfstream casino, and about 45 minutes to Miami.
