Shocker Posted November 30, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 30, 2014 I know there are a lot of hotel posts but I must be lazy to look at them all. Does someone know of a clean beachfront hotel that is under 150 in April that you can walk to stores for wine and places to eat. I don't care about free breakfast or shuttles. We are from Kansas and want to stay where we can see and hear the ocean. Thank you to all that reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocker Posted November 30, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) Hi Shocker, what part of FL? Well thanks working Mom I figured everyone knows where I am going or maybe being from Kansas there is not much coastline. I guess i left out an important fact.... It is Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale and this is only for one night precruise.... Thanks again Working Mom......

capriccio Posted November 30, 2014 #4 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Shocker - when in April (if it is Easter week that will be more expensive than later in the month) and what day of the week (weekends can be more expensive than weekdays)?

workingmom200112 Posted November 30, 2014 #5 Share Posted November 30, 2014 Well thanks working Mom I figured everyone knows where I am going or maybe being from Kansas there is not much coastline. I guess i left out an important fact.... It is Port Everglades in Fort Lauderdale and this is only for one night precruise.... Thanks again Working Mom...... I did a quick check of a few places I have stayed at and liked but looks like the price is over $150. Sorry. But you might want to check out the website sunny.org. I find it very helpful. And for me planning the vacation is just as important as the actual vacation. :). Good luck and have a great cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoncom Posted November 30, 2014 #6 Share Posted November 30, 2014 For a beach you have to go to Ft. Lauderdale Beach. After Easter prices do come down.Do a search on TripAdvisor.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted November 30, 2014 #7 Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) What is the exact date you need? You won't find a beach hotel for that rate if around Easter vacations. For how many people? Kids? Edited November 30, 2014 by eandj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shocker Posted November 30, 2014 Author #8 Share Posted November 30, 2014 What is the exact date you need? You won't find a beach hotel for that rate if around Easter vacations. For how many people?

eandj Posted December 1, 2014 #9 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I think your best bet would be to use hotwire or priceline. Look at downtown and beach locations. There's no guarantee you will be on the ocean. But I see a couple beach area with great ratings. But unless you raise your budget to $ 200 or so, there is little even on my favorite site, lastminutetravel for your budget. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalcruz Posted December 1, 2014 #10 Share Posted December 1, 2014 You can get the oceanfront Pelican Grand for $162 on lastminutetravel. There are 3 restaurants between there and the little hotel next door. Wine store is about 1.5 miles away at Publix or The Hut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted December 1, 2014 #11 Share Posted December 1, 2014 (edited) That's a good rate. But with taxes, will be close to the $200 mark. Is the OP open to that? For something on the beach, I think they will need to be. To the OP, there is a site called LMTCLUB.com. If you go to lastminutetravel.com, click on "club" at the top of the page tabs. They will let you sign up for free with the promo code. No cost. You will find lowest rates there. Good cancellation policy, unlike priceline and hotwire which are noncancellable. The promo code is JOINTHELMTCLUB1 I see the Renaissance on 17th St for only $92 on the club site. :p Granted, not a beach hotel, but you can catch the sun trolley to the beach or even cab it to the beach for that rate. It's a nice hotel, for sure. Too for $149, the Gallery One Doubletree is avail. Not on beach, but on the scenic intracoastal waterway. Water taxi stop. Short walk to beach. Lots of restaruants etc. Those are the best two values imo. But others are avail. Add taxes to any rates we offer here. ;) Edited December 1, 2014 by eandj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueHerons Posted December 1, 2014 #12 Share Posted December 1, 2014 There are smaller mom and pop places that might get you close to your budget but for mid April, it will be tough. Try the following: Silver Seas Gigis Beach Club Snooze Inn Tropic Cay Shell Resort All are in a really good location but I've never stayed at any and know nothing about the accommodations. I just either run by there or I'm in the area at the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted December 1, 2014 #13 Share Posted December 1, 2014 Snooze Inn requires 2 nights or longer. Not sure of the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

negn Posted December 2, 2014 #15 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Must be WSU..me too. Difficult to find beach for that price in high season. May be able to find something and take shuttle to beach. We stay at Bahia Mar, across the street but easy access to beach. $219/night in March Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjack22 Posted December 2, 2014 #16 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I was able to get a Priceline Express deal that was a very good deal. I got the Hyatt House in Dania Beach for only $78. Normal price is around $260. This is in February. Now it was a educated gamble but I was pretty sure the deal was for this hotel and after I got it I found out it was in fact the Hyatt House. But you have to be willing to be flexible on what hotel you end up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the original poster wanted to be near the water, I would recommend avoiding Priceline. If Hotwire, look for a hotel with the amenity "beachfront" or "oceanfront". If not within your budget "near ocean" usually means within half a block or so from the ocean. Although PL is cheaper, its best to avoid them when you have particular requirement as they cannot guarantee they'll be met. Use HotelDealsRevealed.com to help you figure out what hotel you're likely to get. Both Hotwire and Priceline are not for the risk adverse. You can't cancel your hotel reservation.

Marie51 Posted December 6, 2014 #19 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Sheraton Beach Resort is right on the beach. Can't get any closer. I stayed there in October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted December 7, 2014 #20 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Dave, also be sure to check out trip advisor. It is a great source for review and also for getting a comprehensive list of hotels. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
