Finally, we are in Florida, in Fort Lauderdale, to be exact! We have heard so much about this place when we were in Europe and it is so nice to visit this place in person. Fort Lauderdale not only has most stunning beaches, but also amazing food scenes here. No wonder all the riches and famous chose this place for their vacation homes. During our visit, we stayed at the Atlantic Hotel and Spa, which is located right on the beach ( across the street, that's it). If you see the first image below, the hotel is the yellow building with the swimming pool. As you can see from the images. the beach has most beautiful shades of blues and the water is super warm. Staying there was like soaking in a warm bath. The hotel has its own pool with an ocean view. We stayed at the suite on the 14th floor, which has its own balcony with ocean view, kitchen and even washing machine (great for washing the swimming suits and clothes with tons of sands). The staff were all really friendly and helpful, which made our stay really comfortable.
