In terms of cleanliness, the reviews of The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort were a mixed bag. While some guests were disappointed with the underwhelming hygiene standards at the hotel, others found the property to be super clean and well-maintained. The rooms, though small, were relatively luxurious and comfortable. Some guests recommended that the hotel get rid of hallway carpeting to avoid a musty smell caused by heat and humidity. The location and staff were also noted as positives, in addition to the cleanliness of the property. However, some rooms were dirty and musty with old furnishings, worn-out bedsheets and even filth in the tub. Some guests suggested that with the appropriate safety measures, the hotel should be able to keep the rooms cleaner, especially since sand from the beach could make the rooms appear dirty.

Pool
The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort boasts a great pool, but some guests found it to be a bit small for the number of rooms in the hotel, leading to feelings of overcrowding. The pool area is generally nice with a bar conveniently located, though some guests felt it needed updating or more interesting design. However, a few guests expressed disappointment with the cleanliness of the pool and water clarity. The pool was heated and generally well-serviced, but some guests noted watered-down drinks at the pool bar. Unfortunately, the closing times of the beach and pool- 5pm and 7:30pm respectively, may put a damper on some guests' plans. Guests should also be aware that outside food and drink are not allowed and that disco music can be heard all day at the pool, which may not be everyone's idea of relaxation. Despite some criticisms, many guests found the pool to be truly amazing and an integral part of the hotel's overall fabulous amenities.

The walkway from the pool area to the beach was a great touch and the tunnel to the beach was nice. Guests had access to beach towels, chairs and umbrellas which was a great value for a beachfront hotel. Although some guests were disappointed that umbrellas and chairs were not included with their fee, other guests were happily escorted to cleaned chairs with towels provided. The oceanfront view was unbeatable and the ocean itself was beautiful. Some guests noted that the noise from the road between the hotel and the beach was a bit bothersome, but overall the location was convenient to restaurants and shops. The elevator to the beach was perfect and there was a connection with the beach right from the hotel property. The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort is a great choice for those looking to relax and enjoy the beach.
