“The Renaissance Hotel, Wonderful.”

A lovely hotel situated (admittedly off the main road) on 17th street, but this we found to be of no noise of any real disturbance whatsoever. We looked at many and really made the right choice with this, not cheap, but not too expensive either, considering location, costs of taxis etc. So not near the beach, (and we knew this before booking) but not an airport hotel either, With great pool and Jacuzzi, pool bed towels and workout gym. We stayed for 2 nights prior to cruising. A stroll along 17th find some good choice eating places, restaurants, bagel bars, Denny's, and the Waterfront dining fish restaurant at Bimini Boat Yard is very romantic ( right next door to hotel) and good price too. The water taxi is a great way to get about for a one off price of $20 you can jump on and off all day long. Placed ideally for the cruise port, 5/10 minutes. The hotel provide a really efficient mini bus service to the port for $6 per person. The cost of taxi from Fort Lauderdale International to The Renaissance was $20 including tip. Superb breakfast menu $15 buffet and really great selection. We even went back after our cruise to spend a happy couple hours at the pool. I can't say enough about how perfect The Renaissance is we will be back there again soon.

“Business Trip”

Great Service, the staff was very helpful. My room was not ready when I first arrived but the front desk staff called me as soon as it was and had my bag and room keys waiting when I returned.

“Great Cruise Hotel”

Close to Cruise Port - And A great place to eat

“Great location for cruising. Less than 5 min from Port Everglades”

The staff at the Renaissance Fort Lauderdale Hotel were great. Very helpful in arranging our transpertaion to the Port. The pool was small and the room was also a bit small. We stayed for 2 nights before our cruise the hotel was very busy with a convention it was a little hard to get service in the bar as the bartentder had to wait on everyone in the bar as well as fill drinks for the dinning room. He needs alittle help. This was our first trip to Fort Lauderdale and if we cruise out of the Port of Everglades again we will stay at the Renaissance.

“Very Impressed”

The hotel was very easy to find and very close to the airport. It was beautiful and had everything we needed. The water bus is within walking distance. We would definitely go back again.

“Wish we didn't have to leave”

What a wonderful place to stay without any worries, and only 2 miles from the beach.

“Will return again”

Beautiful hotel, spacious rooms. Very comfortable beds!!! The pool area was wonderful. All hotel staff members were very kind and helpful. I will definately return to this hotel. Great location too!

“Good choice for the Business and Leisure”

Since I am in hotels 3 times a week, I found the service and atmosphere well worth the price. The resterant was good and the rooms were a good size. The only thing missing was wifi.

“easy walk to beach”

easy to walk to the beach about 1/2 mile. easy access to major roads without traffic to get to shopping.

“Excellent hotel”

We stayed at this hotel before and after our cruise and it was top notch! The staff was excellent, our room was very clean and spacious with lovely bedding, and we would definitely stay again!
