One of my favorite memories of growing up on South Florida was jet skiing around the intercoastal…read more Now that my kids are getting a little older thought they would enjoy a day on jet skis zipping around the intercoastal and so I rented them from Easton Watersports for 1.5 hours. Similar to a car you need to be 16 to drive one so my 11 year old daughter was on the back of mine and my 6 and 9 year old sons joined my husband. We met Dominic at the Pioneer Park- boat ramps in Deerfield Beach. Please note that this location is different than the address on the Yelp review since we were a bit confused ourselves. We started off slow getting used to the jet skis and also admiring the beautiful homes on the intercoastal. Then for about 30-45 minutes we got to go as fast as we could zipping over massive waves and holding on for dear life. I thought we were speed demons, but my thrill seeking daughter kept yelling at me that I wasn't going fast enough. My 9 year old son did fall off the back of my husband's jet ski, but he claimed that was the most fun part of the excursion. .And Dominic was nearby the entire time to help out in these situations and more, but overall we felt very safe. 1.5 hours was perfect and everyone had a great time. They declared it their favorite day in South Florida and made us promise we'll rent jet skis again on a future trip. Done!

I made a reservation through yelp and prepaid $30 for a jet ski near lighthouse cove resort. When I…read moregot there, they didn't seem to have my information and I paid the remainder of $150. People walking up on the beach asking the price were told $150, so the $30 reservation was pretty meaningless and seemed to be just an extra charge. Also, the area you can drive the jet ski in is pretty limited. Wish I would have known.

I'm in the midst of the most difficult time of my life right now. After an emotionally intense,…read morelong ER shift, combined with personal challenges, I decided to go to the beach to pray with as much faith and love as I could, because I needed a miracle. As I sat there, emotional and vulnerable, a woman approached me. At first, I was startled, but then she spoke. She said, "This may sound weird, and I've never done this before. I even asked God, 'What am I supposed to do? Just go up to her?'" My eyes began to water as I listened. She continued, "Whatever problem you are going through or what I'm asking for God wanted me to let you know that I will get what I'm asking for. He wants you to know that you will be alright. I'm sorry, I don't know why He told me to tell you this." We both began to cry. I replied, "God did want you to give me that message, because I just finished asking Him in prayer to help me, and through you, He replied." We were both overwhelmed by the miracle that had just happened. We hugged tightly, and I thanked her deeply. This experience is proof that if you maintain a pure heart during difficult times and don't allow negativity or evil to take hold God will ensure you know He is right there with you, listening, along with His angels. I needed this today. Thank you... and thank you, Pete, I know you will help Him. Amen. Amen.

The City of Deerfield Beach has earned the award designation Blue Wave for its beaches from the…read moreClean Beach Council. The award was given based on excellent water quality, beach conditions, safety services, public information, and habitat conservation. Most people access the beach near Hillsboro Blvd where the road takes you past The Cove shopping center, over the Intracoastal, and to the beach. The beach at Hillsboro Blvd. and Ocean Way can get crowded during peak times so I like to seek out what feels like this hidden public beach just north of the town of Hillsboro Beach. Deerfield Beachfront Park is at the end of SE 9th St where it meets A1A next to the Embassy Suites by Hilton. There is plenty of metered parking both in a lot on SE 9th St. and along A1A. The land for this park was acquired in 2003 by the Florida Communities Trust using Florida Forever Funds. As you approach the beach there is a large deck overlooking the sand. Next to it are a few picnic tables and benches. As the soft sand squishes under your feet you can hear the crashing waves as you feel the salty tang of the ocean breeze and the warm embrace of the sun on your skin. Off in the distance to the south is the Hillsboro Lighthouse while just north of you is the Deerfield Beach Pier. Rocky outcropping dot the beach in front of you. This beach is overseen by one of nine life guard towers in the city run by the Deerfield Beach Ocean Rescue Division which is certified by the United States Lifesaving Association. Lifeguards are present from 9:00 am until 5:00 pm 365 days a year. If you are looking for a relaxing day at the beach, this is the perfect spot to swim, sun bathe, and enjoy the vacation vibes.

For earth day and for a milestone review, this is the park I chose to go to. We were not far away…read moreand I was curious to explore the area. I could easily live in this park. You'd never know it was here -- right along the intracoastal waterway -- unless you lived in this neighborhood. It's not the easiest to find as it's set back amongst the expensive homes, boats, marinas, and winding streets of Lighthouse Point. But it's well worth a trip to find it. There's not that much man made entertainment here -- no bbq grills or tennis courts or basketball nets or swing sets. What it does have is natural beauty and spectacular water views. There's a paved path to the middle and around the edge as well as some sandy paths. There are several spaces to park your car just outside the fence. Inside the fence is a bike rack. To the left of the entrance is the butterfly garden. And yes, we did see some colorful orange butterflies when we went -- but they were too fast (or shy?) for pictures. There are flowers -- yellow ones (sorry I don't know their name) and a number of green ones planted to attract the flying beauties. To the right of the entrance is a lovely large white Jasmine flowering bush. Heavenly scented. Inside the park are wide green expanses under the trees and several tented pavilions where you can rest and read or just contemplate nature. There is a bat house on a tall pole -- the bats eat mosquitos and are encouraged to visit, but I doubt there's one in residence. There was an empty bird house high up on a tree, too. There is an exercise area with instructions telling you what to do. But no one was using it. There's a sandy area with many coconut palms (and coconuts on the ground) and sea grape bushes that lead right down along the water. You could even dip a toe in if you're adventurous -- or just pull up a towel and sun bathe. In any case, along the water you get to see all the sail and speed boats passing by. And hear a soft lap as the water meets the shore. Such a nice respite from the hubbub noise of civilization. It was a welcome quiet space to rest and relax -- to get away and enjoy Mother Nature. So, come here -- and make every day Earth Day!

Even though I did not need or wanted an accessible room, that's what was booked. Fine. I'd make it work. However, things to know about this room and hotel. * Parking cost $25/day. Other resorts on the beach charge $0. * The bed in my room sat on the floor where you couldn't stick your toes under it. It was never listed that the bed was not at normal bed height. I could not be climbing in and out of a bed that sat on the floor. Photo attached. * No room telephones. To contact the concierge, you needed to download their app. If this is the new trend, count me out. * To get to the room (if you were in a wheelchair), you would have to go through two heavy doors where only the room door would stay open. The outer door would snap shut on you. The AAPD should look into this hotel, especially this room. There has to be a violation here. * The bathroom was behind an extremely heavy glass door. It had no tub and no counter. It reminded me of a high school gym shower. Photo attached. I booked this room through American Airline's AAdvantage program as it had an 8.1 out of 10 rating and they were partners with AA. I don't know how it received such a high rating. I will never trust the AAdvantage program's reviews or suggestions again. I booked 3 days. Prepaid. At 11:15pm the room's fire alarm went off. There was no reason. No smoke. No fire. Woke me up. Then to make matters worse, the next door neighbors decided to have a party until after 1am. I complained and nothing was done. I asked for a room change. I was told they had a room. However, after the concierge said I could have the room, management told them NO. I could take the room for the the night and not for the remainder of my stay because it was booked for the other nights. I would have had to go back to the room I didn't like. I checked Expedia and there was another room available. They lied to me. I checked out the next morning and demanded a refund for the other 2 nights. They refused. I contacted AAdvantage for their assistance. This hotel lied to them too. They were told I was given an alternative but refused it. I refused changing rooms for one night only to go back to the bed on the floor room. They did not give me a better alternative. Disreputable management. I didn't try the restaurant. I can't comment on that. The pool and the private beach looked fine but I was not here for either. I was here to visit family and did not intend to spend hours at either pool or beach. I was looking more for the Florida Beach ambiance. I won't do that again. And certainly not at this place or in Pompano Beach. This is my last visit to this part of Florida. You can keep the Gold Coast. Overall, very sorry I booked here. I will never come here again. I will tell everyone I know to stay away from this hotel. Mind you. I lived in the Fort Lauderdale and West Palm Beach area in the late 1970s. The area has gone downhill. If you are looking to visit Florida, go to the Gulf Coast. Tampa/St. Petersburg are much nicer.
