Lago Mar Resort

Top choice in Fort Lauderdale


On the south end of South Beach, this wonderfully noncorporate resort has it all: a private beach, grand lobby, massive island-style rooms, a full-service spa, on-site restaurants, a lagoon-style pool set amid tropical plantings and the personal touch of family ownership. (And no, not to be confused with President Trump's Mar-a-Lago.) A lovely fish mosaic graces the lobby floor.

This is unpretentious, but with old-fashioned manners and the feeling of a well-cared-for guesthouse.
