"Our stay at B Ocean resort in Ft. Lauderdale was unfortunately very disappointing from start to finish. Upon arrival, there was no warm welcome or guidance about the property, or surrounding area, leaving us confused about where to find amenities and how things worked.
The room itself had several issues. The bathroom water took nearly 15 minutes to warm up, which was extremely inconvenient, the shower head sprayed out of the glass enclosure, causing the floor towels to be soaked and the floor slippery. The outlets were also worn out and would not securely hold plugs, making it difficult to charge devices. There were USB ports that didn’t work even with the “switch” turned on AFTER maintenance came and told us how to use the bedside outlets. One USB port was completely missing. Additionally, the bathroom was not stocked with enough towels to comfortably accommodate the number of adults in our room.
The fitness center was another major letdown. It was not clean, several machines were out of order, and the air conditioning was not functioning, making it an uncomfortable and unusable space.
The beach, which should have been a highlight, was in poor condition. There were large amounts of garbage scattered throughout, including small pieces of plastic that posed a risk of cutting feet, as well as cigarette butts. This made it neither relaxing nor safe to enjoy. The bathroom, particularly the ladies room, was not maintained for the amount of people that were using them. "
"The resort is showing its age. Hallways always had garbage next rooms, and needed a good vacuuming. One of the two elevators were out of commission the entire week. Rooms were cleaned every day but could have been cleaner. Staff was very friendly and attentive when needed. "

"Pool seating completely inadequate. More than half the lounges are so low to the ground that it is extremely difficult to get up and down from them and there are not enough. We were there two hours on a Friday afternoon and never were able to get a lounge. Waited in the shade on a couch. Considering the $49 per day resort fee this is outrageous. "
"Room and furniture are poorly maintained, they are old and shabby; the room is only minimally clean, we didn’t touch kitchen appliances as they looked dirty "
"I recently stayed at Sonesta after my cruise and it was perfect. It was clean, beds were comfy. They even have a restaurant on site so we didn’t have to go anywhere and staff was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely be staying here again next time I’m in FLL."
