Help me decide between these three precruise hotels on the beach in FT Lauderdale . .

[bsbcgirl]

For our July Allure precruise stay I am trying to decide between these three hotels on (across the street) the beach: Hilton Beach, Westin Beach, Ritz Carleton. They are all very close in price for our date in July. We will not have a car. I am interested in location (walking to restaurants and water taxi), appearance of rooms and public spaces, pools, and anything else you can tell me. Thank you for your help.

If you have ever stayed in a Ritz Carlton; the other two hotels can not compare; Ritz Carlton is known for knowing what their guests want and like and delivering on that; their rooms are impeccable; because they have a reputation to live up to. that being said Hilton Hotels always deliver on their promise to have nice rooms and treat guests well; and Westin hotels are an upscale version of their chain. My first choice would be the Ritz; but if location is what you're looking for then maybe the Westin

The Ritz Carlton is the most elegant of the 3 and is closest to restaurants and shops. They have a very nice and large pool deck area and a lovely indoor/outdoor wine/martini bar. The Hilton is the furthest. All 3 are nice.
