If you're looking for 5* treatment go elsewhere, but I found the property and staff more than welcoming. The continental breakfast was more than sustaining; the rooms were clean; and the grounds immaculate. The staff was more than helpful and answered every question I tossed at them. I will stay there again.

We stayed for 2 weeks, in the beginning of our stay the owner would not let us have a guest over to play scrabble because he had trouble with another visitor the day before. (I asked if he would like us to leave and find other accomodations and he replied "NO--WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO TO THE BEACH WITH HIM" Then another guest was a problem so he threw him out, even coming to the poolside yelling at him in front of everyone. We did not attend any happy-hours. We were happy to just leave and get off the pins and needles when our vacation ended. Sorry, no-one likes to be negative but I've been chewing on this for a year.

My BF and I we was totaly 2 weeks on the resort and it was the best resort i even have been. super friendly stuff and very easy to meet new people at the resort everything is like a big family we booked for next year again and we cant wait to be again there.

We have stayed in several of the local gay hotels/resorts and have found this to be the best. The owners are the friendliest and most accomodating. As a matter of fact we'll be staying again this (late) December until late January. Great location...2 pools....hot tub...wonderful!

We've stayed at the Elysium a few times...and it just gets better, the owners are fantastic...as is the staff. Clean, safe...and beautifully landscaped.

I agree with all that I have heard on this resort. The property is fabulous. Neat and clean, well cared for, etc. But the staff and owners hovered over us like we were going to swipe something at any moment. Every time we touched something at breakfast, we were greeted with evil stares. The phrase "what are you doing?" was even uttered when my travel partner peeked into the fridge looking for milk. We were appalled. There are many guest houses in Ft Lauderdale where you will be treated better. Skip this one. I will.

great location, 2 blocks from sebastian beach, the hosts are very helpful, the rooms are clean, the hot tub is huge, and the pools are delightful. everyone is so friendly, its like meeting a bunch of cousins you never knew you had!
