Walking through cool white sand with the rushing waves to one side and the whispering palm fronds to the other is an image that’s easy to fantasize about.

At Fort Lauderdale, it’s more than just a fantasy. It’s a way of life. Although succumbing to heavy eyelids and arriving at rest with the salty breeze flicking your hair sounds romantic enough, you'll probably prefer laying your head down in the engulfing bedding of one of the top 10 resorts in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
