Advantages: Lovely Climate Disadvantages: Easy to find your way around
How boring to go back to the same place again, but nonetheless, having spent two summer holidays based in FortLauderdale, I feel (slightly) qualified to assist you in choosing this as your next holiday destination. We flew to Miami from Heathrow with British Airways for just under £300 (end of April 2001). Last year we struggled with the Tri-rail commuter train to get us to FortLauderdale (only $5ish but we still needed a cab once we got there). This year we took the Super Shuttle (minibus-taxi hybrid) at $31 per person. My other half was attending a conference, so I had plenty of time to get myself aquainted with Sawgrass Mills (huge discount shopping mall on the outskirts of town) and The Galleria (smaller regular priced mall in the centre, close to the main beach area). Besides the extensive cheap shopping, there are several ...
Advantages: Beautiful beaches, beautiful weather! Disadvantages: Too hot in the middle of the day!!
We had an absolutely lovely time in FortLauderdale, just relaxing and 'chilling out', although the weather (early October 2002) was very hot!! We stayed at the DoubleTree Hotel on a special discounted rate as part of a package holiday to the Bahamas and Orlando. The beach was 10 minutes walk and was lovely and sandy. There is also a river at the back of the Double Tree, and a water taxi services the hotels along its bank. A big park is also nearby, which is also beside the river, and it is worth a walk round. You can see the millionaires' houses on the other side of the river bank!! The water taxi is also a good way of seeing how the other half live. There is also a boat called the Jungle Queen which does food and music and is a good night out.
A fantastic place to visit, and even more so if you get a special offer like we did. My ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of Fort Lauderdale
Advantages: Close to the airport for transfers, Great Food. Disadvantages: Lots of seaweed gets washed up on the beach.
Flight Out:
I used Virgin Atlantic who fly out here. The flying time is 8 hours but, because of the time difference, it was the equivilent to a 4 hour flight (great). Of course this means the opposite coming back. Its 8 hours flying but you have to add 4 hours onto the time. Not so good
Landed:
The resort is within a 10 minute drive of the airport. Once there, the drive with the coconut palm trees gives you the clues that you've well and truely arrived.
All in:
The hotel is fully-inclusive so all the food (even in the 2 specialist food restaurants) is all in, as are MOST drinks. If you want a bottle of 'champers' with a meal, this is extra.
Reception:
The reception staff are helpful and friendly but with any complaints, if you should have any, ask to speak to the manager. The counter is a long one and can cope with quite ...
