I went with my BF Ken, my sister Amy, my mom, and two nephews for 7 days. This particular property was about 25 minutes from my home in Hollywood, FL. This property had a lot more room than my current condo and I was able to accommodate all of my guests.
This was an inspirato.com trip and we stayed at https://www.conradfortlauderdale.com/

Internet
The hotel internet worked great. We used speedtest.net and the speed was 60 mbps upload and 24 mbps download. Plenty fast enough for running Zoom meetings and my telehealth sessions through simple practice.
Work
I did work while I was there. I was able to host a live Q&A with Carrie Peterson (carriepetersonconnects.com), a social media branding expert for my Bill Like A Boss billing membership. If you want to check it out, here is more info about it. https://privatepracticeinsurancebilling.com/
I saw clients all day on the 1st day because my mom, sister, and nephews didn't come in until the second day. I had no problems streaming sessions with my client.
Licensing Issues
Florida allows me to work within the state of Fl while seeing my Virginia clients.
See Correspondence from FL below:
"Good day, Thank you for contacting the Florida Department of Health. You are allowed to provide telehealth services to your patients in Virginia without applying for a Florida telehealth registration.
For information on the Telehealth legislation, please go to http://www.flhealthsource.gov/telehealth/. Also, please contact MQA.Telehealth@flhealth.gov for program-related questions.
Thank you and have a good day."
Restaurant Recommendations
We found quite a few great restaurants by using my Find Me Gluten Free app (due to my celiac disease). I would recommend 954 Steak, Lona Cocina & Tequileria, Casablanca's for coffee. The property had a kitchen so we were able to cook most of our meals there.
Highlights
~Snorkeling trip to a reef with SeaEscapes of Ft. Lauderdale. ~Taking my nephews to try the Flowrider Surf Machine in Hollywood.
~Searching for shells with our snorkels around the shore.
Lowlights
Loud construction at the resort next door.
My sister accidentally charged a very small $62 bottle of Champagne to the room. EEk. We did get a refund.
Tips and tricks.
The Conrad Residences allows one car to be parked for free. You get two free chairs and an umbrella on the beach.
