Best Lauderdale Hotel Pool

[SWACruising]

Have to spend 1 night post cruise and looking hotels with a fantastic pool. Short of that, we're staying on the beach.

 

Thanks

Embassy Suites has a nice pool.

Margaritaville Hollywood Beach if it's within your budget.  Outstanding pool AND on the beach.

I haven't stayed here - I stay at home 😎 - but other cruise critic posters have recommended the Pelican Grand.  It is on the beach and has a lovely pool.

The Diplomat Hotel on A1A in Hollywood Florida has an absolutely beautiful pool complex right on the beach. The place is stunning. Pricing depends on which month and season your looking at.

And a flowrider!  We are sailing out of Miami in 2023 and will be definitely booking Margaritaville again.

We love Ocean B - two pools (one beachside) and a wide expanse of beach.

It's definitely the most "vacation" resort in the area, by far.  Simply awesome. I don't stay there (I live nearby), but I do visit the restaurants and enjoy the 5 o clock bar on the intracoastal.  Plus Le Tub is right next door and often the bandshell right outside has some great music.  I do miss the old days when it was just a parking lot, lol, (excellent shore diving), but it's a no brainer for a cruiser if the budget supports it.

I love the Riverside but I think the OP said they are wanting to stay on the beach.......(unless I misunderstood the first post).

I'll take all recommendations at this point. We disembark in the morning and have a flight the next day early. Looking to extend our vacation at something that isn't a typical airport business hotel where I spend most of my year traveling for work. Have lots of points for Hilton and Marriott properties but spending $500 on something unique I'm good with.

Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort😉 see if you can score an oceanfront room as the icing on the cake.

I'll third the Riverside Hotel suggestion!  We used to have a gym membership their and used the pool very often.  Great views of the yachts traveling up and down the New River.

 

The best beachfront Fort Lauderdale pool is by far the W Hotel.  Great ocean views and walkable to lots of good restaurants.

 

I also like Margaritaville and The Diplomat pools in Hollywood.  The Diplomat by far has the best pool but the beach there is miniscule unless they've renurished the beach since I've been there last.

 

All I ever see at Margaritaville is people busting their a$$ on that flowrider.

Thanks for all the great input. We are booked at Riverside. Looks like a unique hotel and great location.

That is a 30+ drive.  The only way you are making that distance in ten minutes is by helicopter.
