Where to Stay

The new Hilton Fort Lauderdale matches modern luxury with top-notch service. Suites include a kitchenette, whirlpool tubs, and flat-screen TVs. Cribs and high chairs are available along with a kids program for children six to fifteen.

For larger families or families on a budget, renting a condo is a good bet. We found several two-bedroom condos for $1000 to $1500 for a week on www.vacationrentals.com. Also try www.vrbo.com. We saved money by utilizing the fully equipped kitchen for some meals. Rentals on nearby Hollywood and Dania beaches are usually cheaper.
