For more than 30 years, we have never stopped improving our accommodation units in accordance with our (economic) business model.
You can, depending on your budget, opt for an individual or family unit, with or without bedroom(s) independent of the living room. Studio, large studio, standard hotel/motel room, 3 1/2, 4 1/2, house. Everything is offered while remaining in an economical setting and within walking distance of almost all services.
Cleanliness, friendliness, family atmosphere, tropical amenities/landscapes, swimming pools (some heated), washers/dryers, common areas, wifi, are just some of the services we have available and which we share with our clients and friends. BBQ (shared) on the terraces, cable television with some French channels* in the rooms are added to the elements that distinguish Richard’s Motel. Oasis of relaxation under the palm trees, or in the form of a gazebo/swings in a place that is always unpretentious for everyone…
Geographically well located in the heart of Southeast Florida, close to famous casinos, beaches, cruise ports, airports, restaurants, cafes, movie theaters, nightclubs and shopping centers. Our units are at your disposal to offer you as best as possible a memorable stay reflecting the climate that characterizes our region. Allow us the privilege of letting you taste our hospitality and the comfort of our numerous accommodation units.
*French TV – please see the section below regarding French TV service. Essentially, we must remember that there is no longer any antenna service. The available service may be interrupted at any time because it is directly linked to wifi. It requires a restart (often manual) which is not instantaneous. Thank you for your understanding.

While you enjoy your stay at Richard’s, our services, the beach, we want you to feel “at home”. Despite the attention that our staff pays to our customers and friends to ensure their safety, the main artery (road) named US-1 (or South Federal Highway) in front, sees approximately 50,000 vehicles pass each day. This is one of the busiest roads, it crosses the entire state of Florida. We need to be aware of our surroundings, day and night. In particular, you must lock your bedroom door at all times, ensure that all valuables are hidden, ideally do not bring them with you to the pool and onto the patios. Lock the windows, using the upper lock when leaving the room for a slightly longer period of time. Do not open the door of your unit to anyone, you can speak to the interlocutor without opening (validate credibility). At worst, ignore the person.

Regarding parking, we have installed adequate lighting and a video surveillance system. However, to avoid any problems, please always lock your car doors and do not leave valuable items in the car visible to everyone (in your vehicle).

*TV IN FRENCH / Alternative (temporary) service offered
Management’s desire is to continue to offer its Quebec customers television service in French. Efforts are being increased in this direction, but the
technology no longer meets expectations, and the results are reflected in large variations in reception. In a word, the different
French channels may work intermittently or simply may not be tuned in all the time.
It is important to remember that under these conditions, management cannot be held responsible for variations and/or interruptions of the French channels. We
We ask our Quebec customers for their indulgence in the face of this phenomenon.
What matters to us is doing the best we can under the circumstances and putting in the maximum effort possible.
French speakers from Quebec come to Florida first of all for the climate, the sun, the beach, the activities, the excursions, so much the better if it is “partially” possible to watch some programs.
IF INTERRUPTED
In the event of an interruption or shutdown of one or more channels, you can notify us (with RESPECT), and we will see to what is necessary to put the channels back into operation. Our hopes are based on advances in technology that will one day allow you, dear customers, to use your smartphones and make you independent in accessing the content that will be broadcast in your rooms (& apartments), just like the Most of our American customers now do, who simply broadcast (in “mirroring”) their phone into the televisions in each unit.
The best way to ensure that you watch your Quebec programs on a delayed basis is to check with your Quebec cable distributor BEFORE your arrival to find out how to view Tou.tv and others from around the world on your tablet.
Thank you for your indulgence…
