This place is well worth it! The type of customer service we received as a family was extraordinary! It ain’t one of those 1000 dollar a night hotels but it definitely felt welcoming, well organized and friendly. I will ask anyone to give this place a try. And the location access is pretty good being close to south beach.

Spent 3 nights at the lovely hotel while visiting our freshman daughter at the University of Miami. This hotel is beyond beautiful. The staff is personable and attentive. Accommodations are both lovely and impeccably clean. Even the in-room provided toiletries are of stellar quality. It has a cute little gift shop which is slightly overpriced, but that is to be expected. We dined at essencia for breakfast and chose from the ala carte menu, rather than the buffet. It was delicious. At the beach, our server, Anthony, along with the beach chair staff, were all attentive and delightful. We enjoyed Cuban sandwiches and some beverages on the beach and they were delicious, too. Overall, it was a marvelous experience and we will definitely stay there again. Highly recommended. In fact, my husband stated that this was his favorite hotel in which we have ever stayed. Read less

The property is beautiful and the staff couldn’t have been nicer! Our rooms were pretty small but we had a beautiful view of the ocean! Housekeeping was wonderful and always checking to see if we needed anything! Tony the bartender at the Tiki Bar was so nice and made great drinks! The food at the Tiki Bar was wonderful too! The valet staff was super helpful and quick with getting our car! I would absolutely recommend this hotel! Read less
