Is the beach nearby?
Yes, we are one of the closest all male resorts to the beach, Approximately 500’. We are about an 8 minute walk to Sebastian Gay beach. Our resort is one of the best locations to enjoy Fort Lauderdale’s pristine beaches. And we provide beach towels for use at pool or to take to the beach. We also have a good selection of umbrellas and chairs to take to the beach on a first come first serve basis.

Do I need a car in Ft. Lauderdale?
That depends, if you are going to spend most of your time going to the beach, nearby restaurants, relaxing at the resort and just going to the bars occasionally then I would say no. A car is an added expense, Wilton manors parking is sometimes difficult to find, and the Ft Lauderdale and Wilton Manors Police are very vigilant. A cab ride up to the bars is only around $15.00, or another guest may have a car that you can share a ride up.

Do you provide off-street parking?
We have a limited amount of off-street parking, 99% of the time, we have enough spaces to accommodate our guests, but we do not “guarantee” a space (subject to availability). If no space is available, there is other city parking, free or paid parking, available in the area.

All items must be prepackaged per Broward County Health Dept. as we are not a restaurant. There is a Publix supermarket a short distance from the resort should have special meal needs. There are also restaurants a block away from the resort.

Do you have WIFI?
The resort has free WIFI throughout the 3 courtyards and in all rooms. We have 2 guest computers in the office available during business hours.
