Video Tour by @Beaaviles: I took the family here for a spring break recharge and it was exactly what we needed. The separate splash pad meant my son was entertained all day, and I loved sipping wine on the balcony after he fell asleep. It felt like a real vacation, not just a trip with kids.
Why People Love It
- Direct access to a quarter-mile of private beach (rare for Fort Lauderdale)
- A massive 8,000-square-foot lagoon pool that feels like a tropical island
- Freshly renovated rooms (as of Spring 2025) with modern coastal decor
About this video
Join me on a family getaway to the Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa. We start with the grand arrival and a tour of the lobby before heading up to our room. You'll see the spacious setup with two bedsâperfect for familiesâand the highlight: a private balcony with sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and the resort pools below. I take you down to the massive lagoon-style pool and the separate kids' splash pad, which was a hit with the little ones. We also explore the private beach area, grab a drink at the indoor bar, and head out to nearby Las Olas Boulevard for some local flavor. The video wraps up with some evening vibes, showing the resort lit up at night, a relaxing jacuzzi dip, and our favorite family snapshots from the trip.
