Fodor's "The sprawling, kid-friendly Lago Mar, owned by the Banks family since the early 1950s, retains its sparkle and a refreshed old Florida feel thanks to frequent renovations." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Occupying its own little island between Lake Mayan and the Atlantic, Lago Mar is a charming resort with a beach."
Rough Guide "A luxury resort located a little away from the action, with two pools, several restaurants... and its own private patch of sand."
Star Service "In a tony residential area removed from Fort Lauderdale's hubbub, this hotel stays out of the limelight, which suits its loyal clientele just fine." Full review
