At Las Olas Beach Resort, you can hit the beach to enjoy the shade from a beach umbrella or relax in a sun lounger, plus you'll have access to onsite surfing/boogie boarding. The outdoor pool provides fun for everyone, while guests in the mood for pampering can indulge in spa services. The restaurant is a great spot for a bite to eat and cold drinks are served at the bar/lounge. A fitness center and 3 outdoor tennis courts are other highlights, and rooms offer balconies and room service.
Great getaway
Pros: Nice setting on the beach. Grounds keep up. Staff very friendly. Pool was nice with swim up bar
Cons: Surf was very rough. Made it hard to get in and out of the ocean
Las Bates Motel
Pros: (1) Met a couple local expats who were very nice and invited us to see their home. (2) Spectacular stars observed during several brief power outages.
Cons: Truly, there isn't enough space to list the negatives. Suffice to say, we paid for 2 nights; fled after one, and we still don't know where they've hidden the beach. In reality, Las Olas Beach Resort looks not at all like the glossy photos/brochures. Don't get fooled!
