Everything! The resorts location was amazing, right on the beach, and only a 3 min walk to downtown Lauderdale by the Sea. They provided you with so many value-added options like beach chairs, umbrellas, bikes, boogie boards, etc. Resort was extremely clean and well maintained. The entire area is so vibrant, safe and chill, and our first time to Lauderdale by the Sea and the Windjammer will not be our last.

Our studio room was a little smaller than we would have liked, but we'll be sure to grab a bigger one next time.

Probably the best value for the money. We got room 16 which was located facing the beach and it was a remarkable and romantic getaway! The staff was super friendly. Alex at the front desk called me a day in advance before leaving to ask me if I needed anything for our departure. And Bailey even went out his way to say he was want going to be at the windjammer all week and wanted to wish us a wonderful stay. Moreover, the guests were kind and friendly! We loved it and would definitely stay again!

Location in LBTS is awesome, a short walk to everything. It is right on the beach, loved it. New beach chairs mid way thru stay, love the new Tommy Bahama chairs. Heated pool was a huge bonus, did not expect that! We spent each late afternoon in that pool. I love the vaulted ceiling in our room (room 5) as it made the room feel so much larger. I would definitely stay again, but need to get rooms 2-15 for sure. Many of the rooms in the second building faces public parking.

New bikes are needed, these were quite old, simple Wal-Mart cruiser bikes, so not a huge expense for them but would make a better experience. Also, the mattresses were stiff and thin. My daughter, my wife and I had to swap sleeping on the sleeper sofa cause it was too uncomfortable for one person to sleep on it two nights in a row.

The staff was excellent from the staff at the desk to the mechanic to the cleaning staff. The room was excellent. We had a 1 bedroom with the living room, dining area and kitchenette. The kitchen was completely equipped with everything needed to prepare meals - but for the food of course. The room was exceptionally clean. There are 2 pools on the property that were great. BBQ's and a game area near on of the pools as well. The location was the absolute BEST. The Windjammer is right on the beach- no street to cross to get onto the sand. It's located in a nice quiet area that is within walking distance to everything. about 1-2 blocks away is the main strip I would say with several restaurants and bars for anything you would want to eat. Lots of outside dining and live music everywhere! Also on a different block just one block up were more restaurants, a Walgreens, a liquor store and more. This was ideal!!

I was not completely happy with the bed. The pillows were fantastic and my husband had no complaints. For me, I would have preferred a softer bed but on the day before we left we found out that I could have asked for a mattress topper that would have solved my problem.

The location was excellent and was perfect for our honeymoon. We stayed in room 16 which was on the second floor directly facing the ocean. We loved sitting in the patio area outside and watching the sunrise each morning. It was not a private patio, but there was minimal traffic and other guests were friendly and respectful of the area reserved for our room. Bailey greeted us at check-in and was super friendly and informative. The facilities were very clean, and the maids were great! Some other things we liked were being able to borrow beach chairs and books! It was also so nice being within walking distance to so many restaurants and shops. We barely used our car the whole week and walked somewhere new for dinner every night. We definitely want to come back to the Windjammer in the future!

The bed in our room was not very comfortable, which was not ideal for our week long stay. New beds would make this the absolute perfect place for a young couple like us!

Right on the beach. Short walk to restaurants and shopping. All beach requirements (umbrellas, towels, chairs …) available at no charge. Well appointed room. Small kitchenette functional. Staff was very helpful and pleasant. Grills, games, lounges all available at poolside. Noise outside we could not hear in our room. Parking onsite and free.

Shower is the size of an old fashioned phone booth. Barely room to turn around or bend over. Two nights we were awakened by noises in the attic/wall above the TV. We think they were roof rats. Noise didn’t last long, but did wake us. Otherwise is was very quiet. Bed was extremely firm!

Great location. Staff were so friendly and extremly helpful. There were two pools to choose from which were heated and the hotel has everything you needed - beach chairs, umbrellas, beach toys for kids. We weren't sure if the room space would be big enough but we were pleasantly suprised the living area was slightly more spacious than the pictures showed. We had a crib (provided by hotel) up in the space and still there was enough space. We had a cute little sitting space out back which was great for breakfast time. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils too. Great location for walking to downtown restaurants and beach front. The place is well maintained. Bonus that they don't charge an excessive resort fee.

Bathroom was a bit small especially with a toddler but we made it work.

Perfect location right on/by the beach and within a very short walking distance to the bars and restaurants of Lauderdale by the Sea. Played games and made friends with other guests due to the way the property is designed and provision of game facilities by the pool.

Everything is great, one minor issue was the pool felt a bit unclean, but the hotel was kept clean.

Excellent location from the beach and walking distance to the town was the highlight for us. The room was exceptionally clean and the service provided was outstanding. Every employee was courteous, respectful and professional.

We loved the pool lounge chairs, but would like a few more regular chair options.

Amazing place. I knew the rooms were going to be small so that was never an issue. Could be an issue for families but the room was cozy (not cramped) and clean. The staff were excellent. My beach view room could almost be called beachfront. The location was closer to the restaurant/bar area than I imagined. One block walk down a city street. I could not have been happier.

I don't see how you could not like this place.
