We can’t wait to go back!!!!
Pros:

We loved everything about our stay. The room was squeaky clean and bright!! Old style charm. The manager, Valentina was exceptional!!!! Always helpful and positive!!!! Dina, the housekeeper was an angel and so dedicated to her job and clearly loves what she does! She is a remarkable person! The team of Valentina and Dina are the cornerstone of this property!!!!!!!!! They will help with whatever you need!!!!
Also, the proximity to stores, restaurants and the beach made this an ideal place to stay for walking to Lauderdale by the Sea!

Pros:

I like the location. Close to shops restaurants and a great tourist destination. The pool was heated.

Cons:

Didn't like the parking. And the bathroom had cracks in the wall. The A.C is situated at the back of the room it don't get as cold as you would like. The water didn't get hot just lukewarm because the knob don't go all the way to hot.

Great stay
Pros:

Location was great, rooms basic but clean, iron and hairdryer included, pool area nice and beds very comfy! Wouldn’t hesitate to book again when visiting.

Cons:

There is no lock for the door, we found it slightly strange that there wasn’t an extra lock for the door. There was a strange twist lock but it didn’t actually do anything. I think the idea is that when you twist it no one can use the key card to enter but we tried it and it didn’t work. Such a minor thing that we would change.

Petit hotel simple, pas cher
Pros:

De passage, pour 2 nuits. Petit motel dans son jus. Petite piscine bien pratique. Les chambres sont grandes et il y a une cuisine. Coin laverie dans les parties communes.
La personne de l'accueil était top . Elle fermait son bureau a 17 heures et nous nous arrivions vers 22 heures. Elle nous a déposé la clef sous le paillaisson. Vraiment efficace.. C etait top.
Parking devant l'hotel et proche de la plage .

Perfect Stay with Wonderful Customer Service!
Pros:

The Horizon by the Sea was perfectly situated with a super short walk to the beach. The pool was nice with lounge chairs available. They also had beach chairs that you could borrow - but on a first come, first served basis. The bed was comfortable and the AC was cold! But by far the best thing about the place was Valentina, the woman who basically ran the place. My bathtub was stopped up and instead of waiting to get it fixed, she moved me to a much better room. The new room’s TV was missing one of the remotes so she ran out and found a new TV with remotes! She ran everywhere! One day, it was pouring and I needed to walk to dinner. She found an umbrella that was for a beach chair, unscrewed it and I had my umbrella! She’ll own the place soon!

Cons:

Nothing.
