Delicious Dining Experience

“I had an very nice culinary experience during my stay at Las Olas. The restaurant served a made-to-order breakfast that was hearty and delicious. I especially enjoyed the well-seasoned sea bass for dinner and a cheesesteak wrap that was full of flavor. The use of local beef and fresh seafood made every meal nice, and I appreciated the variety of fresh fruit and vegetables available.” view full review

6.6/10

My stay at this resort was quite disappointing. The property has clearly seen better days; it felt worn out and poorly maintained. There was a charming beach nearby, but the amenities were lacking, and the dining options were very underwhelming. While the oceanfront view from my room was stunning, the overall experience didn't meet my expectations, especially for the price.

The resort is a tranquil haven with beautifully landscaped grounds and a lovely beach, perfect for relaxing with a book. The room was sunny and had a fantastic ocean view from the balcony.
