My wife and I stayed here while on vacation, and really loved our experience. I looked around at various options in Lauderdale by the Sea for a while, and ultimately decided on Blue Seas Courtyard after reading the glowing reviews. The property and staff completely lived up to everything I read, and I won't hesitate to stay here again when returning to Lauderdale by the Sea.
I'm not entirely sure which type of room we rented, since we booked it through CC points that didn't list options, but I believe it was the efficiency studio. The room wasn't huge but it provided everything we needed and more, including a very usable kitchen, dresser, and TV. It was quite clean and decorated in the same hacienda style as the rest of the property. Very well done interior overall, and not just random generic hotel art.
There are plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, and bikes available to guests, and even a hose that we used to rinse our scuba gear in a plastic tub that was also provided. We were really blown away by how thoughtfully set up everything was.
Our favorite part overall though, was definitely the pool/courtyard area in the evening. The property itself is beautifully styled and well kept, with original art dotting the buildings as well as custom tile work. At night, it goes from great to "holy cow" when the lighting comes on and creates an absolutely beautiful ambiance. We really enjoyed hanging out by the pool and getting to meet the other guests in such a neat environment.
There are fancier hotels/resorts in the area, but the Blue Seas Courtyard is really something special that manages to go way beyond what you would expect for it's size and nightly rate. It's very clearly a result of the owners and management really caring about their creation and the experience of the guests who visit. They've really done a wonderful job, and I look forward to staying here again someday.
