Cambria Fort Lauderdale Airport South & Cruise Port

“This hotel is truly a hidden gem! Best bang for your buck in Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood area!”

I travel and stay hotels often, probably no less than a 100 nights a year due to business and I rarely write reviews because it’s hard to judge a hotel as “good” or “bad” by one or two nights, because you could have just encountered one good or bad charactered person that just got hired, I’d rather… more

I travel and stay hotels often, probably no less than a 100 nights a year due to business and I rarely write reviews because it’s hard to judge a hotel as “good” or “bad” by one or two nights, because you could have just encountered one good or bad charactered person that just got hired, I’d rather just give a good star rating with no review. In fact, I think this is my first review on Tripadvisor, despite joining probably over 10 years ago! So, having completed multiple stays at this Cambria in 2024 between June 18th & September 26th, I’m happy to write this review of what I would call a culture of excellence by the staff & ownership. From the front desk to housekeeping to the management team to the bar & restaurant staff, everyone is so friendly, accommodating and hardworking. They are genuine people, that take time to listen and make you feel like a friend not just a customer. And this hotel is kept in immaculate shape! It doesn’t have that “hotel” smell that those of you that travel a lot are familiar with. I would like to give a special shout out to the individuals that made my stay great! -Tahire at the front desk, always made my check-in entertaining and fun, (could be a long lost sister I swear); - Lashandra the hotel night auditor, one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet, works the graveyard shift and I don’t know she does it - Dominique at the front desk, always friendly and interested in what you have to say; - Debbie the bartender (and maybe F&B mgr), always greets you with a huge smile on her face. - Gaby at the front desk, helpful & friendly. Elizabeth and Nasly, the housekeeping managers, they are very friendly and proactive in making sure your room requests are handled promptly without making you feel like it’s a burden. They also have great management, so a special thanks to the GM Alejandra that always made me feel welcome. Though a manager, she’ll jump in and help her team get done whatever needs to get done at that moment. Their new Assistant GM Patrick was no different, he fit right into the friendly family like culture they have there! Even helped me with my massive amount of luggage when I was leaving without me even asking. Of course, no business can run well without good ownership, and though I stayed there for a long time, I didn’t even know who was the owner until I met him while I was leaving. He doesn’t like to flaunt his status, so when I saw him a few times at the hotel, I thought maybe he was the bookkeeper or some other office position, but no, he is just a modest and humble guy that runs his hotel with excellence. At the end of the day, the fruit of the way he runs his business speaks for itself, the hotel runs great, the staff & management team are excellent and very friendly people and the place is kept in immaculate shape! So if you’re looking for a elegant & modern styled hotel that is kept in excellent condition, with a peaceful and friendly atmosphere & staff in the Ft. Lauderdale & Hollywood area of South Florida, minutes from the Airport (FLL) and Cruise Port (Everglades), you found it!!

We stayed for one night at this hotel. The location is very close to the Fort Lauderdale airport. The staff was friendly and professional. The biggest thing that I noticed was the cleanliness of the entire hotel. Our room was pretty much spotless. There were a couple of things that I need to mention. I was surprised at the pool hours. It is open from 8am to 8pm. I've never seen a hotel close their pool that early. By the time we checked in and got settled in, it was almost time for it to close. I was a little disappointed with the bar and dining. There was one there and food to order. I felt the pictures on their sight were a little misleading. I guess I expected it to be "a little more." Basically a counter and some dining table and chairs. That's just a personal thing for me. Although I knew ahead of time that there was no free breakfast foods; I think that it would be great if they offered something. Even if it was just minimal like muffins or doughnuts or pastries and juice; it would be nice. As stated; there was breakfast that you could purchase. Overall it was a good place to stay. We usually look for a hotel with a good breakfast. Next time I will probably look for a different hotel with breakfast in mind.
