Just can't believe some of the rave reviews this place gets, did we stop at the same place ! It would appear that this so called "Hotel" (more like serviced rooms) which when we stayed had no facilities for food not even breakfast, is part of a group of properties run by the same management in this area and has...

Spent two nights in mid-April, pre-cruise, and found service to be severely lacking. Husband & I arrived late afternoon after 7-hour flight and were greeted by…no one. Informed by other guests that check-in was now located across the street, at the Tranquilo Hotel. Feeling hot, sticky, and weary, I left husband and four suitcases near the pool and trudged across...

This hotel was great. Our stay from start to finish was exactly what we were looking for. Note: Check in was across the street at their sister hotel Tranquillo. Not a big deal, there were signs. You're allowed to use their pools as well. Amanda is great. She greeted us at the pool the next day with frozen grapes and... More

Ocean Gate is very close to the beach, 2 minutes walk, but is in a very quiet location. All amenities are within easy walking distance and the trolley service stops nearby. The water taxi service is also nearby. The hotel is kept spotlessly clean, and all the staff are very friendly, special thanks to Destiny for being so pleasant and... More

Malcolm17450, What a kind review, thanks so much. We're sorry that the music was left on and are implementing better options (ie: timer for the stereo) so this doesn't happen the next time you visit. We hope that you can visit us again soon. Destiny will be waiting for you with open arms! Take care, NBV More

My daughter was getting married at the Westin Ft. Lauderdale Beach. We needed to give our guests options of other hotels nearby. After reading the reviews and seeing the Ocean Gate for myself there was no doubt it was the best option ever. Amanda blocked out the whole hotel for our guests which consisted of mostly family, a big family... More

denisepg, Congratulations on your daughter's wedding! We're so pleased that we were able to be a part of it. Amanda and the rest of the staff truly care about the guests and always go above and beyond to make sure our guests are happy. Why not come back for her 1 year anniversary party? We'd be happy to have you!... More

Good and friendly service. Thats the best part. We stayed a three nighter prior to our cruise and wanted something not too expensive near the beach. Price was ok. The rooms were good enough, but was a bit worn down. A cheap paint job/good wash of the walls in the apartement would do wonders! A litle concern was the A/C.... More
