Casa Del Sol is a great spot, a nice experiencein the 60s style condo layout. The unitsare clean and nice if not a tad spartan. But that's okay since most people coming to Ft. Lauderdale don't plan to spend a lot of time in their room.
The building is built around a lovely courtyard that leads to a nice pool and covered patio. The property is situated such that it catches quite a bit of the day's sun which is optimal for sun bathing and relaxing by the canal. The experiencei enriched by views of the canal with yachts that cost more than most people will make in their entire careers.
The location worked out great for us, walking distance to nearly everything we wanted to see. That said, we walk a lot so 2-3 miles is a light stroll in our family. There's everything from fine dining to shopping nearby and you can make the hike over to Las Olas Blvd which is a wonderful area of shops and restaurants that makes for a great afternoon. If you get tired or don't feel like making the walk, its an easy Uber ride back home. Just be prepared for surge pricing which can hit in the evening hours.
This is a great place to stay, but I would recommend you be the type that can get along with others. The cozy nature of Casa Del Sol means that you're in close proximity to other guests, which requires everyone to get along. We had a good group, even the college students on Spring break were pretty accommodating save for one late night pool party. But hey, we've all been there so cut them some slack.
All in all, a great time and a good value.
