Ed Lugo Resort

I live like 1 hour driving and was looking for a relaxing chill long getaway weekend so I could recharge from a long work week and looking at the photos posted from this Place seemed like what I needed. Nature binding with the surrounding made it very much aligning for what I was looking for. Even though it was raining on the day of the check in I was able to take a nap and relax with the sound of the rain falling outside. Second day was showing a sunny day and I was looking to lay by the pool and enjoy a sun bathing but unfortunately that was not possible because they had an event scheduled and unannounced prior booking that tons of people would be at the place from noon to 4pm. No place to be inside the pool, neither an empty pool side chair were available, some pop up tents selling what I believe to be souvenirs and t shirts so for my disappointment I could not relax around the pool as I intended so I decided to get away from there while the event was happening. Losing a whole day that I was looking forward to be quiet and relaxing. They never mentioned to me before booking when I called to request those days that they would have an event and that the place would be packed with people from noon to 4pm. I would have not stayed there as I could have other options around there to stay that could offer what I paid for. So if you are coming here make sure to ask because you may not be suited to stay here. When the people left the event I went to the area to lay down but the sun was gone already so decided to go to the jacuzzi spa but when looking into the water the water was green and not looking clean and sanitary at all. Looked nasty. The room we got was fine with a promising bed and a large shower. But you would sync down into the mattress at night and the water flow from the shower head was very low and it would come and go not being a good pressure. I decided then to shower at the outside shower which had better pressure. The AC was like an old window AC and it would sound like a Diesel Tractor all night long making hard to fall asleep. They said they would offer drinks as complimentary around the common areas during our stay but for the time we could hang out in the common areas we did not see any drinks station or were offered any drinks. So not as posted on their site. Location was great because it was next to the bars, restaurants and clubs so a least we had something we could enjoy doing outside the “Resort”. Not a great experience in this location so I would not consider staying here again as the price was similar or even more than other places around this location.

Cannot express our gratitude to the hosts and everyone involved at the resort. They make you feel at home and such a welcoming environment. The facilities are amazing and the pool and hot tub areas are gorgeous plus the rooms have a great old school Florida vibe to them that cannot be described. We will definitely be back soon

Ed and his staff are very welcoming and accommodating. The pool is absolutely gorgeous and I met some great guests there. I stayed across the street but my next visit will be by the pool!!!

Ed Lugo’s place is amazing! We have been staying there for over 13 years. Every time has been simply amazing. Clean rooms, great property and amazing host. Staying at Ed’s is like being at a Tropical Oasis.right in the heart of Wilton Manors. You are seriously in the hustle and bustle of Fort Laudable area - once you enter Ed’s oasis it’s like you are in a tropical paradise.

Loved this resort. Very relaxing atmosphere, the back yard is so beautiful with a heated pool and hot tub, beautiful landscaping. Staff is very attentive to accommodate your drink needs. Definitely will come back in the future.
