Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort sits between the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean in the Gold Coast. Guests walk a mere block to the beach, which is visible from the suites’ balconies. Suites feature fully-equipped kitchens, sleeper sofas, living areas and dining tables. Families can SCUBA dive the three-tiered barrier reefs, go on an everglade excursion or do some shopping in the nearby boutiques. Many different types of tours are offered, like swimming with dolphins and snorkeling off the coast. The resort throws theme parties that everyone in the family will love, including ice cream parties, scavenger hunts and poolside trivia games. The area offers many interesting attractions, such as Butterfly World and Boomers! (an arcade and games center).
