ND Cruisers too Posted June 13, 2016 #1 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Hi everyone, Well so far I have 3 different hotels booked for our pre-cruise stay. As of right now we will be coming in the evening before our cruise. There are 4 of us (2 couples). We would like to have dinner and drinks when we do arrive. Here are my options so far: Bahia Mar Ft. Lauderdale Beach- a DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel BEST WESTERN Plus Oceanside Inn Ocean Beach Palace Hotel and Suites Not sure which one to keep!!! Shuttles or breakfast are not important to us....much more interested in good restaurants and bars for a Saturday night. thanks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brunello22 Posted June 13, 2016 #3 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I would choose Bahia Mar over Best Western. However, if you choose Ocean Beach Palace, 1.5 miles north is Lauderdale by the Sea, a lively area where there is a plethora of bars and restaurants (A1A & Commercial Blvd).

BlueHerons Posted June 14, 2016 #4 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I really love the makeover they've done on the Best Western! For me it is a tossup on the Bahia Mar and the Best Western. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalcruz Posted June 14, 2016 #5 Share Posted June 14, 2016 It sounds like your priority is location, near bars and dining choices. For that reason, Bahia Mar is your best option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eandj Posted June 14, 2016 #6 Share Posted June 14, 2016 We enjoy Bahia Mar's location. We always head to Bahia Cabana for our first couple cool drinks and fresh fish. It's a great very casual spot on the marina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, if I were to stay at Bahia (I have) I would get a marina room to be able to sit outside. Also, OP these two hotels are very close to each other. Look up Sun Trolley.
