Liberty Suites at Dania Beach, Florida
The GLBT Resort that feels like home
If you talk to guests at Dania Beach’s Liberty
Suites, it won’t take long before you sense a
theme – Liberty Suites is a home away from home
where guests from all over the world feel like
family. For thirteen years, Joe Van Eron and
Jack Zimmerman have nurtured that “Liberty
Family” feel. It is working. More than sixty
percent of their clientele are repeat customers.
“From the beginning, we always believed that
there was a need in the burgeoning Fort
Lauderdale GLBT market for affordably priced
superior accommodations geared to longer term
stays, with beautifully furnished and full
equipped apartments with full kitchens and all
the conveniences of home,” said Joe. “We have
continued to draw the most wonderful group of
upscale, sophisticated, intelligent and gracious
guests which makes what we do so worthwhile….and
to observe our guests enjoy each other’s company
as well as their accommodations.”
The home-away-from-home atmosphere is no
accident. “From our past years in the Special
Events and Hospitality business, we have found
that most of our guests appreciate the comfort
and conveniences of home, while feeling very
special and always welcome back home…where we
provide a welcoming, relaxing safe haven for
guests from around the world,” Joe explains. “In
addition, as the first and only exclusive
extended stay resort hotel in Greater Fort
Lauderdale, we have captured the Gay relocation
market where a Gay single or couple can stay
while transitioning to their new home and lives
in South Florida. At Liberty Suites, many of
them meet their first friends and we try our
best to make that transition as enjoyable and
effortless as possible. Today, there are
literally hundreds of satisfied former guests
that are now our neighbors, and continue the
best resource for spreading the Liberty Suites
story and experience.” Van Enron was a very
successful Event Planner in New York who was a
favorite of high profile entertainment and
political figures.
Liberty Suites is located in Dania Beach between
Ft. Lauderdale and Miami. “Our guests love our
location in Historic Dania Beach, which is
Broward’s first city, with its’ small town charm
and Gay Friendly warmth, and well known for its
Antiques, Art and Design businesses,” Joe
continues. “We are very proud to have been an
integral part of the redevelopment and
gentrification of both the city and our
neighborhood. Liberty Suites is the closest gay
accommodation to the famous nude beach at
Haulover and the gay beach at John U. Lloyd
State Park at Dania Beach. We are convenient to
all gay Fort Lauderdale bars, clubs, and
restaurants in Wilton Manors, beaches & cultural
attractions, and South Beach is just a short
thirty minute drive. Our prime central location
places us just five minutes south of the Fort
Lauderdale Airport and Port Everglades in a
quiet residential Gayborhood, and within walking
distance to the everyday conveniences, shops and
restaurants. Within a fifteen minute drive in
any
http://gaytravelersmagazine.com/page9.phpdirection
from Liberty Suites is almost everything that
today’s Gay traveler wants to experience in
Greater Fort Lauderdale and South Florida,
including six new casinos with clots, table
games, sports wagering and poker.”
The award-winning Liberty Suites has eighteen
beautifully furnished and fully equipped
studios, one and two bedroom apartments with
full kitchens at “affordable daily, weekly and
extended stay rates.” Amenities include free
Wi-Fi internet, free VOIP telephone, a clothing
optional, heated swimming pool, sundecks, a
gazebo, private off-street parking, and on-site
laundry. Pets are welcome.
Joe Van Eron and Jack Zimmerman have been known
to treat guests to complimentary fresh flowers,
fruits, chocolates and even cannoli from the
local New York style bakery!

Go Gay USA: Dania Beach, Florida
March 6, 2008 - Gay Travel By Donald Pile and Ray
Williams
Dania Beach,
Florida (March 6, 2008) - Wanting to get
away for a week or two or even a month of two? We can't
think of a better place to go than to
FLORIDA where gay life is
EVERYWHERE !
And for those wanting to spend a week, a month or more,
there is no better place to go than to
Dania Beach,
Florida. Dania
Beach is located right on the Atlantic Ocean and is a wonderful get-a-way for people
wanting sun and fun in winter. It is a 10 minute drive
to Fort Lauderdale to the North or just a 30 minute
drive to South Beach and Miami to the South but much
less expensive than either. The city of only 28,000
welcomes everyone. It has a great small town atmosphere.
They are minutes away from world-class museums,
concerts, plays festivals and other cultural events.
Professional sports ranging from football to hockey to
rodeo are also readily available.
Dania Beach itself hosts Jai Alai, a local performing
arts theater, a natural history museum and the I.G.F.A.
Fishing Hall of Fame, and is internationally known for
it's marine industry, repair and storage facilities,
prominent shipbuilding companies, and dockings for
cruise lines and other vessels are found all over Dania
Beach's numerous waterways and canals.
Port
Everglades, which spans over 2100 acres
and occupies part of Hollywood, Dania Beach
and Ft. Lauderdale is one of the nation's top seaports,
busiest cruise ports, and has the deepest entry channel
of any port in the southeastern
United States.
A great place to stay is at the Liberty Apartment and
Garden Suites which is located just one block west of
the main highway thru the center of town. It is the
perfect place to stay. Just bring your luggage and a
bathing suit and that is all you need. We get so tired
of staying in just "simple rooms" when we travel. Just
drive or fly down and you can move right in for a week,
a month or more. Your suitcase full of bathing suits is
all you need. Every apartment comes with your own
private telephone, Cable TV/DVD/CD and Wi-Fi Internet
access. For less than what most accommodations charge
for a simple room, at the Liberty Suites you can get a
huge apartment for less than that! They have an on site
laundry and off-street parking for their guests.
|

Liberty Apartment
Suites. |
All apartments are either on the first or second floor
and they are pet-friendly! so if you have a dog or cat,
you can take them down there with you. We always go to
the fresh produce markets while we are there. They have
some of the biggest grapefruits and oranges that we have
ever seen! Everyone walks in Florida and it about a 20
minute walk from Liberty Suites to the beach whether you
want to take a picnic and spend the whole day or just a
few hours.
Haulover
Beach is a 15 minute drive from the
Liberty Suites which is the famous NUDE
BEACH in Florida. Hundreds of people flock there daily.
It is located in the 10800 block of Collins Avenue in
North Miami Beach
near Sunny Isles Causeway (SR #826) and Highway A1A.
There is a vehicle entrance fee of $3.50 and it is open
from Sunrise
to Sunset. Facilities include restrooms, showers,
concessions and picnic tables. Lifeguards are on duty.
For those who enjoy sunning in the nude this is one of
the best places in the entire country.
|

Dania Beach has a very popular roller coaster
for adventure seekers.
|
For nightlife, Wilton Manors (the gay suburb of
Ft. Lauderdale) is just a 15 minute drive away
so you have plenty of bars and nightlife to choose from.
There are over 20 gay bars in that area from everything
from leather, strippers, disco, piano bars, video/dance
bars and quiet bars. With that many bars you will
certainly be able to find just the right bar for you.
And don't forget to dine at the Hi-Life Cafe when in Ft. Lauderdale. With their award-winning
contemporary American cuisine, Chef Carlos Fernandez and
Host Chuck Smith have created an ambiance that feels as
if you a guest at a private party in their own dining
room. We dine there every time we are in the Ft. Lauderdale area. They are always busy so
call for reservations. Be SURE and leave some room for
their fabulous Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie. It is to die
for! They have been in business for over 12 years and it
just keeps getting better and better every year.

And for lunch we love Rosie's Bar & Grill, which is in
the heart of everything. We had lunch there twice when
we were there. You can either dine inside or on their
tropical outdoor patio. They have a wonderful ambiance.
It is always packed because everyone KNOWS it is so
great. The servers are extremely professional and
friendly.
Whether you live in the Midwest,
up North or anywhere, why not get a away from it all and
relax and rest in beautiful Gay Florida where "the boys
are" and make new friends.
Actually
Dania Beach is a great place to visit anytime of
the year. A great website to visit before going to Florida is www.funmaps.com.
They have up to date information on all the gay
businesses in any major city in America. The local gay publications
are 411 Magazine, www.the411mag.com and HotSpots,
www.hotspotsmagazine.com. Be sure to visit Liberty
Suites at www.LibertySuites.com
Always remember to have fun when traveling, meet new
people and talk to everyone!

time the curtain falls on your
big day, you and your new
lifemate are going to be in dire
need of a restful, romantic
honeymoon. But where to go?
Well, GO got the low-down on a
trio of traditional honeymoon
locations that offer plenty of
great, gay-friendly or gay-owned
