We stayed here post cruise for one night and were told we could have an earlier check in. Waited 1.5 hours longer than told as had us down for a king bed instead of two beds. Beds were super comfortable. I did appreciate full access to the beach and pool while waiting. They did upgrade us to a bigger room but it was a few doors down from the pool and so noisy all day/night. Had a view of a concrete wall. My friend used a walker and was a far walk to the beach building on slanted ramp which was difficult with a walker. Do not stay on the pool level in the beach building if you want quiet. The room’s furniture is quite outdated. Every time the air conditioner turned on or off there was a loud clank!
We had Starbucks coffee at the Clipper Express which was ridiculously expensive for regular coffee and included an 18% gratuity. The prices at the pool restaurant were very high.
Pool and private beach are amazing!
We ate at the Florida Sports Bar and Grill restaurant for breakfast and it was ok but expensive. Best part was our wonderful server John who was a delight!!!
If you are looking for the resort feel you will get it but it is pricey.

Rooms are old but the bed is very comfortable! I was on the 3 floor balcony ocean view and both locks on the balcony door were broken. The hotel didn't seem concerned when it was mentioned to them. Most of the servers were slow and unattentive at the pool bar/grill but the food was very good....they also don't mention the 18% gratuity is already included in the tab so you could easily double tip if you didn't read the bill. Parking is confusing..the only way to park on the property is to valet, which is $55 per day. They say they provide 2 free waters per day but that is hit or miss as well. If you plan on using their beach chairs they are only available until 6pm and they literally kick you out of them to stack and lock them. The only outside pool bar also closes at 6pm. The little breakfast/snack bar in the lobby is not a good breakfast option so plan to go somewhere else for that. Their food is frozen and microwaved, half of the items we bought were just tossed out after one bite. We did enjoy our time but glad we had a car so we could spend our time away during the day and basically used the hotel for sleeping. Bed were amazing and rooms and hotel was very clean.

LIES! This is NOT a luxury hotel!
I recently stayed at the B Ocean Hotel in Fort Lauderdale, FL, and I am beyond frustrated with my experience. This was my fourth stay at the hotel, and I was appalled by the steep decline in the quality of the rooms. During my 5-day, 4-night stay, I encountered conditions that were completely unacceptable for a so-called 4-star hotel. During this visit I stayed in the Chic City View Room with a king-size bed.
The room was filthy, with stains on the carpet, damaged furniture, flat pillows, and a lumpy bed with a sinkhole. Paying $ 1,675.00 (not incl valet & resort fees) for such a shabby room felt like an absolute rip-off. To make matters worse, the room was situated in an atrium-like or light court area, with the door opening directly outside—hardly the secure, comfortable environment I expected from a supposedly upscale hotel. One of the days it rained and the wind was blowing like crazy I was drenched leaving my hotel (motel!) room.
I requested a room change twice, and both times I was told there were no other rooms available (they were not sold out). This level of service is utterly disgraceful. While the staff was polite they were not helpful. I didn’t get a chance to use the beach or pool, so I can't comment on those amenities, but judging by the state of the room, I'm not hopeful.
I am extremely disappointed with my stay at this low-quality hotel. This experience has been nothing short of a disaster, and I will never pay to stay at this disgusting hotel again, heck I don't think I'd stay for free!!!

We stayed there during the President's day weekend along with 2 other families, all with kids. The location is great as you literally walk out to the beach and the has great views (depending on what building you get). The pool is nice (even though small) and conveniently located. Other than the location, the hotel leaves a lot to be desired. The old building definitely shows the age, the rooms are small and nothing like what's expected. Very few of the staff is friendly, courteous or helpful. The restaurants (by the pool and the one inside) had very long waits even with only few patrons. Other than the beach, it was like staying at an economy hotel.

Location and the very close proximity to the beach are the best features of this property. I decided on this hotel upon doing pre vacation research for family of five accommodations in Ft. Lauderdale beach area . Walking distance to some coffee / food / ice cream spots.
For my family I was offered a junior suite room in B Ocean south fifth floor which is not even designed correctly for five ( king bed , pull out couch and roll away bed ) , and has no exhaust in bathroom , and no balcony , and no window openings. It can become stuffy . Upon entering room you can smell a musty odor .. which I thought can be humidity , and lack of ventilation . It continued to linger throughout my stay. The bathroom is the worst! The pressure of sink faucet and shower is very minimal. The hanging space / or hooks are not suffice . So if you use pool or beach daily you have no where to really dry your items . A couple of metal hooks in shower don’t do the job for 5. Also note : WiFi service is super weak , and tv loses connection. One plus is the room has a semi nice view of back palm tree and beach . It is not sound proof since you hear early morning noises from
delivery trucks . The hotel lobby is always bustling , and car valet is helpful with service . Breakfast vouchers were offered with my room so it was convenient to get morning coffee , and quick breakfast. The breakfast was simple , and offerings average. The staff is not coordinated . There were some delays, and service could be better , and staff nicer . Beach offered chairs , and towels. There are some friendly staff which make your beach experience pleasant. Potential to be better ! Just need to step up to a 4 star level especially with resort rates being so high , and costs through out resort and all of the extra fees etc do not meet up .
