Really great cocktails and very talented bartenders. They’re craft cocktail quality here, which is surprising as it’s a lobby bar. It’s actually one of the better bars in the area if you really like a good cocktail.Atmosphere is nice, there’s a wonderful guitarist on Saturday nights until about 9pm.Drinks are a bit pricey, around $17 each.

My girlfriend and I always have to make a stop whenever we go to the Hard Rock. Angela is an amazing bartender and a wonderful person with the brightest smile.

The oculus bar is a grand and extravagant drinker paradise at the Seminole hard rock hotel and casino in Hollywood. If you gambling and need a fancy drink this lounge is a good place to sit back and relax after loosing some money at the tables or slot machines. The staff is always welcoming and attends to your needs to make you experience as pleasurable as possible. This location is out of the way of the casino floor so it is not as noisy or filed with cigar smoke. Be sure to stop buy and try out the Oculus bar next time you visit the hardrock hotel & casino.

The only reason this place does not get 5 stars is because of the idiotic DJ of Nov 10, 9:45 pm who insisted on playing electronic dance music when the crowd was in their 40s. I even pointed this out to him and he did not care in the least. The bartenders were excellent!!

Live music. Friendly service at the bar. Delicious cocktails. I had an old fashioned, a Manhattan, and a paper plane. All have a Bourbon base. Sophie was awesome!

The most clean casino and hotel ever! Loved the staff, my room and pools, casino. It was very quiet but stayed Monday to Friday. Took a half day to figure out the lay of the land but once we di, we loved it. Had decent luck in the casino too! Can't wait to come back. Most relaxing week ever. It's easy driving to anywhere in South Florida.

First time there. Stayed in the Guitar Hotel. The design is amazing. Restaurants are great, pools are beautiful. Plenty for everyone. Word to wise, their Valet is sooooooo slow. Also they say light show is every night but that is False. It rained one night, the night I made it back from dinner to watch it. “Oh no light show because of the rain!” Um Florida is 90% rain then it stops. Why cancel the Whole show!! Like WHAAAAT? very disappointed about that. Other than that I would go back. Very pricey but thats to be expected. Also too many pets. I get service animals but most of these animals were family pets not service animals and I am highly allergic.

One complaint is the lack of sustainability efforts. There is NO recycling at the hotel! I am packibg plastic bottles to recycle when i get home. This is disappointing. Also the coffee shop prepacks all the desserts in single serve hard plastic takeout containers! So even if you want to dine in and eat your dessert it comes in a big plastic takeout container that they don t recycle! This is upsetting to me and it will impact my decision to revisit. Maybe it s the state of Florida, but seriously climate change is real and single use plastic leaches micro plastic into water and soil and is harmful to our bodies. At least recycle plastic Hardrock!

Amazing property and next door to Fort Lauderdale and Miami. I ate at many restaurants in the surrounding area. The Hollywood community is pleased and relaxing! In fact, I enjoyed thoroughly that I visited this area at least twice a year for the past four years
I can't drive by the Guitar Hotel not stop here. The atmosphere is so good, they've got a live DJ on weekends, as well as excellent staff. Stevie is a baller when it comes to making drinks, he's the only dude I go see when I'm there, truly a cocktail genius. If Stevie is busy you can always ask for Sophie or Andra, both of these ladies are spectacular at what they do and they're both funny as hell. I don't go gamble without stopping at Oculus. Directly across from Guitar Hotel check-in, and steps away from Council Oak Steakhouse.

We had a great experience here at the Seminole Hard Rock. Upon arrival the valet and Front Desk Staff were fantastic. We stayed in a Guitar Tower Room on the 24th Floor with a fantastic view of the pool. The amenities are amazing with access to 2 pools and free self parking. They do charge a resort fee however all the included amenities more than justify the cost. We ate at the Deli twice and did not have a bad meal. The casino was great and provided a lot of slots and table games, I even enjoyed the non-smoking area which was a nice touch. We are already planning our next trip back!

The WORST hotel experience I've ever had. The hallways smelt like garbage in someone's pants. The hotel staff was rude and pompous and multiple times went on power trips. The coming in and out of the hotel was higher security than Fort Knox. The food was gross and repetitive. BUT THE WORST PART. The hotel uses a room key system that seems like its from before cell phones were invented and I had to a new room key every single time I went to my room. IMAGINE waiting 10-40 minutes in line at the front desk just to have to go back to your room. It's pretty dangerous because I just stopped shutting and put a towel in it and one time almost scaled the outside of the building from my friends room but didn't want to die that day. Oh, and they don't have elevators. The end. Hopefully the end of the HardRock Cancun.

We spent our New Year at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel. We learned about native the Seminole Tribe of Florida, their cultures, their histories, their legacies and everything was awesome. We wish to come bak again in the near future and feel the same experience again.

Not felt welcome. Stayed three nights, had to change room because accessible room was occupied the first night (although we reserved it beforehand), housekeeping did not clean the room and finally member points were not given in full, on contrary they deducted some without obvious reason. Would not go there again.
