Amenity highlights: The rear of the hotel abuts the Intracoastal Waterway, a network of navigable waters that earned Fort Lauderdale its designation as "the Venice of America." Adjacent to the waterway at the hotel are a 60-by-35-foot pool, six-person spa tub, sundeck, sunning lawn, and two sand "beaches." An expansive patio holds tables for outdoor dining at Docksiders Bar & Grille.

Insider tip: A public "water bus" transporting passengers around Fort Lauderdale's waterways stops at the hotel's quay, next to moored yachts. The water bus operates on a schedule from mid-morning until late night, stopping at 19 other locations, including restaurants and shopping centers. The hotel concierge can assist guests with arranging water bus transportation. Ticket options include a bargain-price, all-day fare.
