Pompano Beach Paradise Resort
 
I know from reading reviews that this resort is old and not a "5 Star" resort. My only concern is cleanliness and safety. We are two families with 3 kids each and a set of grandparents, looking for a clean relatively inexpensive place for fun in the sun during Easter vacation. Any comments? Thanks in advance!

Inexpensive and Easter vacation do not go hand in hand.

I would suggest renting a condo from a private owner. Try VRBO.com and see what you can find. No hotels will be inexpensive at that time.

The rates we were quoted are inexpensive relatively speaking...that's why I wanted to know about cleanliness and safety. Thanks.

We stay in the area with friends and I have never heard of the Paradise Resort.

There was a recommendation on another thread about Lighthouse Cove on Pompano Beach. We drove past it and it looks pretty nice. Here is the url: lighthousecove.com.

If you are getting inexpensive rates for the peak moneymaking week for South Florida, I think that may be telling you something.

I guess what is relative is what you consider inexpensive.

If they are quoting you $75 per night for a kitchenette, I'd be concerned and start doing serious research.

Try TripAdvisor.com and Epinions.com for starters.

This place does not have very good reviews. Try the Lighthouse cove-the prices are very reasonable and you can get a 1 or 2 bedroom. It is a timeshare right on the beach and they rent out units by the night also.We stayed there a few months ago.
