Ft Lauderdale, Florida, Marriott Vacation Club Beachplace Towers and Water Taxi

We went to Ft Lauderdale 1/3/2016 we stayed at the Marriott Vacation Club Beachplace Towers, right across from the beach. For convenience it was great, right across from the beach, walking distance to the water taxi and right down at street level was a mall with shops and restaurants.  However parking is in a garage and spots can be tight with a cost of $14 a day.  They have 4 elevators and it can be slow along with service staff using them.  The stairs to the street level, I would advise you to avoid as they are dirty and at the bottom dark.  The room was fine. Staff was friendly.
I think it was overpriced.

                                                         
                                                              From our hotel

                                   view from our balcony overlooking the intracoastal and water taxi stop

The Water Taxi was a good deal.  You can ride all day, getting off as much or little as you want for $26 for adults and $21 for seniors.  It goes from Ft Lauderdale down to Hallandale Beach.
We enjoyed this.
