The resort offers a nice experience, especially with the beach access and decent amenities. However, the rooms could use some updates, and the couch situation left much to be desired. The staff was helpful during check-in, ensuring a welcoming start to our stay. Still, the misleading sleep arrangements made it less comfortable for our group.

The suite we stayed in was a bit cramped for three adults, as the couch was not fit for comfortable sleep. It lacks the spaciousness I expected, especially since I had hoped for a better layout when I purchased my room.

The service at check-in was quite welcoming, with the staff providing all the necessary details for our stay. However, I felt that some aspects of the property could use a team to address nighttime disturbances.

The pools were nice and well-kept, adding to the leisure aspect of our stay. However, a warning for potential hazards in the area is necessary, especially at night.

I had a wonderful stay at Windjammer in Lauderdale by the Sea! The hotel is right on the beach and beautifully landscaped, offering a clean and inviting atmosphere. The staff, especially Ebony from housekeeping, were quite accommodating. I did face a bit of an issue with the check-in process and the pools, which could be improved for safety at night. Overall, it’s a great place to relax and unwind, although keep in mind that some details need addressing.

We had a mixed experience at this resort. While the location is perfect with direct access to the beach and many dining options nearby, our room left much to be desired. It felt outdated and had a musty odor, which really detracted from our stay. The facilities were adequate but not exceptional overall. It's a good spot if you're mainly looking for beach access, just be sure to check your unit before committing.

Our unit seemed outdated and had a moldy smell, which was really not ideal. It felt more like an old basement without proper windows, affecting our comfort.

The management seemed indifferent to our concerns after we reported issues, which made us feel undervalued as guests.

This resort is right on the beach, making it super convenient for sunbathers and those who want easy access to the ocean. Plus, there are several restaurants within walking distance.

The smaller pool area was nice enough, but the amenities felt a bit dated. Still, the beach access outweighed some of the facility shortcomings.

I had a wonderful stay at this resort, which felt like a true hidden gem. The proximity to the beach is absolutely fantastic, making it easy to enjoy the clear waters and soft sand. The rooms were immaculate and quite comfortable, although parking could be a bit tight. The overall experience was relaxing, with nearby dining options that made me feel like I was in a charming small town. I can't wait to return for a longer visit!

The Windjammer Resort is an amazing place that feels like a second home. The beachfront location is unbeatable, with easy access to restaurants and shops just a short stroll away. The staff is incredibly attentive, and the amenities are fantastic, making for an enjoyable stay. The only downside is that the rooms are quite popular, so booking in advance is essential to secure a spot.
