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 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.

I've been to Wilton Manors a few times, but my stay here was by far the best. The care and attentiveness of the staff, as well as Ed himself, made our stay memorable. The enclosed yard is quiet and beautiful. The location of this resort is in the center of everything you need. We will definitely be back for another stay here!

TL:DR; Highly recommend. My boyfriend and I went down to Ft. Lauderdale from SF to visit his family for the holidays. We wanted to make sure we had a comfortable escape space, should it be needed. Ed Lugo Resort more than fit that bill. Super cute, well appointed rooms. VERY comfy bed. Welcoming, attentive, and friendly service. Multiple hot tubs and a pool on the property.
