One of the best Marriott Resorts in the US, Harbor Beach Club, is in Ft. Lauderdale. It is a very nice hotel with its own private beach, nice pool and a very nice Spa as well. It is one of my favorite Marriott hotels in NA.
Also, if you go with the Keys, the Marriott there is NOT one of their better ones and it doesn't really have any beach around it. So I would go with a different hotel there.
