We stayed for 5 nights in February. The location is great- the W Residences are right in the middle of a great stretch of Ft Lauderdale Beach. There are plenty of restaurants close by to walk or drive to. The Sapphire Suite was directly off the elevator but it was very quiet. The pictures are pretty accurate but I would say things look a little more worn in person, nothing to make us not want to stay again, but some things probably could use an update. The kitchen is moderately stocked - a little light in pans and silverware. There was a starter pack of coffee and spices which was nice. Publix is less than a mile away for groceries. The jewel of the place is the beach, the amenities and the service. We had great service from the checkin, to the valet, the bar, to the beach staff! The resort fee includes 2 beach chairs and umbrella, but they also give you plenty of towels, water and sunscreen is available! We didn’t use the resident pool while there as we are beach people and based on our reservation, we were unable to use the main pool at the hotel. Overall we really enjoyed our stay.
