The virtual tour and photos are honest and reflect the basically good quality of the accommodations. Unfortunately, the in-person experience left us a bit disappointed. We were shocked to see that above the studio where we were staying was a family with kids and a puppy. Normally that wouldn't have been a problem. But with hardwood floors upstairs, a puppy...

I stayed two nights at Mary's Resort in the Bamboo loft, my experience was fantastic! It is nestled between Bamboo trees, and Palm trees, I loved sitting on the deck. I felt like I was on an exotic paradise island. The suite was clean and very comfortable. It was a little chilly to use the pool, water was warm, air...

My husband and I stayed in the Mahogany Suite during boat show at Mary's mainly to check it out for a possible stay with our dog. I have to say-- for a place that accepts pets -- it is very, very nice. There were no dogs staying during our visit (not even Mary!) but this would be a great place...

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. I appreciate your candid input, which helped me to make a change to our policy.
As background; about 15-months ago, I sent a survey to past guests. I asked if they would rather save money, with a reduction in rates in exchange for not having daily maid service. We promised...

My partner and I recently spent a long weekend at Mary's with our dog and found it to comfortable and convenient. The rooms are furnished with almost anything that you might need and the units are so spread out that you almost never see other guests unless at the pool/spa at the same time. The grounds are a tropical paradise...

The resort was very convenient to all shops etc.. Once you enter the gates it was like a tropical paradise. The manager John was very helpful and nice and helped us with everything we needed. You will definatly not find anyone like him in that kind of resort bussiness. We will definatly visit soon..

Being a local who had just sold my house, I needed a short term place to say. I chose a resort by the beach which turned out to be a disaster. Needless to say, l needed a place to stay which was pet frienly. I did a google search and found Mary's Resort as one of three which takes pets....

Loved, loved, loved this lttle hideaway! You will too!
I travel incessantly for biz and favor boutique hotels. so, when I needed a quick moment of solitude (before a social occasion in nearby Hollywood, FL), Mary's Resort fit the bill precisely. Was initially a bit confused by the location, but after being met by John (as promised) at the gate...

We are happy that you were able to spend your time relaxing and enjoying the amenities at the resort, as well as your excursions to catch some local South Florida flavor. We're also glad that the highlight of your...

When our only daughter recently announced that she would be moving to South Florida from our home here in Atlanta, I immediately saw an opportunity for a quick family vacation. I charged my son to find us comfortable, and affordable, accommodation in that general area for a 5-day family vacation and ‘scouting mission’.
Two days later, he came back with...

Max,
Thank you so much for the kind words. We really like to hear stories like yours. Regarding the rates, I agree! Our rates used to be about 50% higher, but the economy slowed travel. There are many choices in Fort Lauderdale and I felt that low rates and great accommodations would generate more business. Our marketing is limited to...

An absolutely gorgeous oasis in the middle of Ft. lauderdale.... The gardens and grounds of Mary's is like being on a tropical island! The pool was great, late night dips in the hot tub was relaxing and the accomodations were fantastic! I stayed in the mango house which is a 2 bedroom house which is spotless, comfortable, a full size...

Thank you for the great review. Both John and I enjoyed meeting you and the other Amazing Race alumni. We are also grateful that you choose to stay at Mary's Resort in Fort Lauderdale, when you had activities planned in Miami. Just like I promised, it's only 35 minutes from the resort to South Beach. Please consider a return visit...

I loved Mary's. It was almost weird to go from the party scene nearby, which I enjoy, to when you pull into the gated parking lot and the trees around the property block out everything. I loved that. The perfect quiet seclusion.
The rooms were very nice. (WAAAY nicer than what I'm used to) I shouldn't say rooms I guess....

Andrew,
Thank you for the wonderful review. Both John and I enjoyed hosting you and the other Amazing Race alumni. I'm so glad to see that you noticed a lot of our "wildlife", including an owl! The first time I saw one on the property, I was totally amazed. It was a baby and I actually have a picture of...
