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. While the restaurant had great food and friendly service, the slow service detracted a bit from the experience. Overall, it offers good value for a peaceful getaway, but it may not be ideal if you prefer lively beach activities.

We had a fantastic stay at this resort with its clean facilities and beautiful beach. The pool area was perfect for relaxation, and the staff was generally accommodating. However, the dining experience left a lot to be desired, particularly with slow service and a limited menu. Overall, it's a great value for money, but there's room for improvement in several areas.

Las Olas offers a beautiful beach and excellent dining options that kept me coming back for more. The service was friendly and attentive, and the lovely ocean view from my room made my stay truly enjoyable. However, some facilities seemed outdated and could use improvements, especially the fitness center and poolside dining options. The check-out experience left me feeling frustrated due to unexpected charges, which dampened my overall impression.
