The guest experience

8.9out of 10
389 verified reviews

Loved most

  • Excellent location (South Beach / near convention center)
  • Stylish design and décor
  • Beautiful pool and poolside service
  • Friendly, professional staff (reception, concierge, doormen, valet)
  • Beach service and proximity to the beach
  • Good cleanliness and pleasant scent

Worth knowing — Value for money concerns (high price vs. room standard) · Room issues: broken items (TV, blinds, hairdryer), small bathrooms, missing mirrors · Limited amenities compared to expectations (no Jacuzzi, few bikes) · Noise from street in some rooms · Absence of buffet breakfast / some F&B service limitations · Parking/service delays to retrieve cars

How guests scored the stay

  • Service9.6

    Staff repeatedly praised (reception, concierge, doormen, valet, pool and housekeeping); specific shout-outs to helpful supervisors and polite, attentive employees.

  • Location9.6

    Very strong location repeatedly mentioned (South Beach, near convention center, close to beach) and considered a key positive across reviews.

  • Overall Experience9.6

    Overall sentiment is strongly positive: many guests highly recommend the hotel, praising design, atmosphere, staff and pool/beach access despite noted issues.

  • Cleanliness9.2

    Multiple reviews praise the hotel's cleanliness and decor; housekeeping and public areas (pool, scent) are noted positively.

  • Food and Beverage9.0

    Food and drink receive positive mentions (in-house coffee bar, quality of food, beach service); some negatives include absence of a buffet breakfast and a few restaurant seating/comfort comments.

  • Amenities8.9

    Pool, beach service, gym and attractive public areas are highlighted; some deficiencies noted (no Jacuzzi, limited bikes available, limited facilities compared to expectations).

  • Value for Money7.7

    Several guests explicitly complained about price vs. value (high nightly rates and disappointing room standards for premium rates), though others found the experience worthwhile.

  • Room Quality7.6

    Mixed: design and size praised in some reviews, but several reports of broken items (blinds, TV, hairdryer), very small bathrooms, missing mirrors and occasional street-noise issues.

    “La propreté, la décoration, la nourriture, la qualité du service et la gentillesse des employés ( réception, valet, piscine, serveur, personnel de ménage…) Vraiment tout le monde. La beauté de la piscine et de la salle de sport. Le calme et la localisation. Le luxe d’avoir la plage à 2min à pied avec le service inclus ( service nourriture, bar, chaise longue, parasol ). Je vous recommande à 100% ce superbe hôtel. Il mérite d’être visité, difficile de ne pas être satisfait.”

    “Ubicación, decoración del hotel y habitaciones, doorman... La gestión que pudo hacer Jonathan el Supervisor de Recepción, con un problema de salud que tuvimos y que nos trató correctamente y con profesionalidad. Personal de Botones o Doorman que estuvieron pendientes en todo momento de nuestras inquietudes y necesidades, en especial a Brian, el chico colombiano más amable que nos hemos encontrado en Miami”

  • Better hotels by far for $600+ per night

    2/10

    Lehann · solo traveller · 2026-10-12

    “I had to move rooms. The ‘partial ocean room’ which was a premium at $600+ dollars per night was an inch of sea and a building construction site. After being moved -the blind was broken, TV broken and hairdryer was broken. the bathroom was tiny and the standard of room was very very basic. The value for money is TERRIBLE.”

  • A Little bit of disappointment
