Marenas Beach Resort

If you're planning a vacation to Fort Lauderdale or Miami and you'd like to avoid the crowds at trendy South Beach or the gay scene in Fort Lauderdale, Marenas Beach Resort may be a beachfront alternative. The resort is within a short drive of Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and features a private beach, suites with kitchens, balconies with a view and more. About.com's Caribbean Travel Guide, Bob Curley says about the condo-style resort's room size, "... you'll get way more for your travel dollar here than in any of those cute Art Deco hotels or fashion-forward resorts further down the beach."
