This was the second time we've stayed at the Surfsider. The first time was five years ago, in May 2021. Miss Sam took good care of us both times. Camilo & Cinnamon were very accommodating, too. Cinnamon even printed out a map to the Cuban restaurant we were trying out for the first time. This place is a hidden gem. My only complaint was the hot water in the second bathroom wasn't working when I showered but my husband was also showering in the master bath so that probably accounts for it. Other than that, we have no complaints. We will still choose Surfsider next time we go to Florida.

The only thing I can say about the Surfsider it was clean. We had no hot water in shower in either room. No TV or Wifi. There was no management on staff after 7:00 to bring this attention to. The next morning when we checked out at 8AM we were told the maintenance had worked on issues and forgot to turn water heater back on. Thank goodness we were there for only one night.

Staff at reception are awesome and a credit to the resort. I can see why so many people have said this in their reviews.
The units however need maintenance and renovating. Our windows and blinds were cracked and broken. The oven and hob did not work. Hot water was difficult to get in shower as we were in 4th floor.
We would stay again.

This place was great! Awesome space for the money and our family of 6. With a full kitchen, laundry and two bathrooms we were very comfortable and didn't feel \"on top of each other\" and were able to save money by not eating out. The pool is fabulous with lots of space and very clean and well maintained. We were in it every morning and the beach was just a short walk away in the afternoon. Staff was awesome and allowed us a later check out to accommodate our flight. We will definitely be back!

Great Service, Clean Units, Poor Internet

The front desk personnel are excellent and very responsive to guests' needs. They extended our checkout by 2 hours which we greatly appreciated. Likewise, the units are spacious and adequately equipped and the swimming pool is fantastic! The #1 problem is the strength of the internet signal. We were on the 4th floor and the internet strength was so weak that I had to connect to the internet via my I-phone.

Relaxing.

It was my daughter's birthday weekend. We reserved it for the few days and it was relaxing spacious. I didn't have any big issues... The front desk staff was nice and understanding. The only issues were no sponge for washing the dishes so I used a towel and the panel in the master bedroom fell off but other than that it was great get away for my daughter's 9th birthday :D

We loved having a tennis court and the outside balcony overlooking the canal. Spacious layout with a very comfortable bed. Amazing shower pressure, and walkable location with great beach access. Dianora at the desk was most helpful and pleasant. We stayed in two different rooms as we left for a few days to visit friends in Stuart. The rooms were both updated and comfortable. Great value as well. The only negative is the WiFi, it’s not good at all.

Not to overblow this, as it is an under a $100 a night place on the beach. The room was comfortable. The pool was okay. It was okay for a family of 6 to stay at.

The front desk staff, was insulting, or attempting humor; I couldn't tell which. The desk/office hours were varied at best. Lunch seemed to happen whenever it happened. Open around 10ish, close at 7ish. Late check in was a nightmare as you have to call another property to get access to a lockbox. And apparently, they were really busy at 11pm.

Overall, the property was nice, but just somewhat lacking in maintenance. Not one thing you could lay your finger on, it just seemed unkept.

Hotel Stay

Our check in was delayed until after 5 pm. When we went into the room a cockroach ran across the kitchen floor. We were not given any instructions on how to access the pool or the beach. We tried to use our key card to access the pool to later find out we could only go into the pool through the other facilities front desk. Our stay lacked communication and we were disappointed with the cleanliness of the place.

As soon as I opened the door , I was greeted by some roaches. The inside of the hotel room is run down a little. There’s crack on the wall and the floor. There were roaches crawling on the kitchen. The area where the hotel is located is very nice. It’s walking distance to the beach. It’s good for the price but i wish I didn’t have to deal with the roaches.

Basically a furnished apartment by the beach.

Really liked SurfSider and was surprised by it. Fantastic price for a very nice furnished little apartment with everything provided... fresh dish towels even. I was on the 5th floor and had a great view of Ocean Blvd and could see the water a little too; on the balcony in the rear, I could see all the way out to Lauderdale. All the lights lit up at night are very beautiful. The elevator was broken (they called me in May and told me about it so I knew). I walked up the five flights every day and it was a good work out. To be fair, the elevator goes up but not down too well and it was slow so I just walked. No big deal. The value for the place more than made up for it.

Long list of condo things you must complete at check out, such as stripping all the beds and putting it in the shower stalls. No coffee packets or shampoo even. Expensive for what you get. A lot outdated. Not a resort of any caliber. Photos are much better than what you get.

Nice, Pleasant place to stay.

This is a time share resort that rents unused rooms. It was right across the street from the beach in Pompano. We had a one bedroom apartment that was fully furnished and very comfortable. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and made everyone very welcome. We arrived after the office closed and found our room key in an envelope waiting for us and check in the next morning simple and friendly. It is close to shopping and obviously close to the beach. All in all a great place if you are looking for value, comfort and friendly staff. Calling this a hotel really doesn't do it justice, but if you are looking for a small nicely run facility and rooms are available don't hesitate just book it. We would stay there again no questions asked.

Decent condo across the street from beach.

My family went to S Florida to attend a wedding and needed a 2 bedroom unit. The condo is an older unit but its in decent shape. The unit was as I expected it to be as far as size. Masterbedroom was nice and big and had its own TV. The unit was neat and clean but you could tell it was an older unit. They had done some upgrades to it such as vanities and the kitchen was newer. This condo is on a property with another hotel so you are anle to use the pool which was nice and clean. My only complaint was the price. $175 felt like a lot of money for a smaller older unit that wasn't on the beach. Other than the price, I would stay there again if I was in the area as far as cleanliness of unit and the friendliness of the staff.

A cute condo across the beach

We are from Miami and so tired of the craziness and congestion in south beach so we travel up north to Pompano beach for some quite time at the beach. This condominium place is older but well-maintained and very clean. The location is excellent!!! We walked across the street to the beach and 5 mins drive lauderdale by the sea, where all the good restaurants are. We had a great weekend.
