Our Weekend at Fort Lauderdale Marriott Pompano Beach Resort & Spa

There’s something about waking up to the sound of actual ocean waves that instantly makes a trip feel like a vacation. 🌊

We recently spent the weekend at the Fort Lauderdale Marriott Pompano Beach Resort & Spa, and even though it was a QUICK trip, we somehow packed so much into our stay while still coming home feeling relaxed. Which, when you’re traveling as a family, feels like a pretty big win. 😎

We arrived really late Saturday night and left early Monday morning, so we basically had one full day to soak it all in. And honestly? We barely needed to leave the resort.

A Family-Friendly Beach Resort in Pompano Beach

The location was probably one of my favorite parts of our stay. You are right on the beach, so instead of having to pack everything up and make a whole production out of getting to the ocean, it’s just...there. 🐚🌴

We could wake up to the sound of the waves, head down to the beach, spend time by the pool, grab something to eat, and just enjoy being together without having to constantly figure out what we were doing next.

It made the entire weekend feel easy.

And somehow, we did SO much while we were there but never felt rushed. That’s exactly what I want out of a weekend getaway.

You HAVE to Try the Coconut Experience 🥥

Okay, this deserves its own section.

If you stay at the Marriott Pompano Beach, you have to try their coconut experience.

Fresh coconut water while you’re hanging out at a Florida beach resort? YES PLEASE. 🥥🌴

It was seriously some of the best coconut water and so refreshing, especially after being out in the Florida sunshine. It was one of those little vacation experiences that Skylar loved too and made the trip feel extra special.

Coffee With an Ocean View ☕️🌊

Obviously, we need to talk about coffee.

I was so excited that Foxtail Coffee Co. was serving coffee at breakfast. A tasty latte + breakfast + the ocean is basically my ideal vacation morning.

There is something very hard to beat about starting your day with coffee while you can hear the waves nearby.

The Perfect Quick Florida Beach Getaway

One of the things that surprised me most about this trip was how much of a real vacation it felt like, considering how short our stay actually was.

We got in late Saturday.

We had Sunday.

We left early Monday.

That was it!

But between the beach, pool, coconut experience, breakfast, coffee and just enjoying the resort, it felt like we squeezed an entire vacation into one weekend without running ourselves into the ground trying to do everything.

Roni and I kept talking about how much we had done while somehow still feeling relaxed.

That’s the sweet spot.

Would We Stay at Marriott Pompano Beach Again?

100%.

If you’re looking for a family-friendly beach resort in Pompano Beach, Florida, especially for a quick weekend getaway, I would absolutely put the Fort Lauderdale Marriott Pompano Beach Resort & Spa on your list.

The staff went above and beyond during our stay, the beachfront location was dreamy, there was plenty to do without leaving the property, and waking up to those ocean waves might have ruined regular mornings for me forever. 😂

We packed a lot into a tiny weekend and left already wishing we had more time.

I honestly can’t think of anywhere else I’d rather stay when we’re back on Florida’s east coast. 🌊🐚🌴

Thank you to the Fort Lauderdale Marriott Pompano Beach Resort & Spa for hosting us for such an incredible weekend!
