Things to know: -everything at the hotel is expensive. An Omelette at the hotel restaurant will run you $30+mandatory gratuity+local tax+resort tax. -did not have any issue getting a seat by the pool. The hotel has dedicated teams to help find seating and keep things clean and smooth. -this was a couple’s hotel. Very few kids. -free bottled water… Read more

Very few kids. -free bottled water is given at front desk if you just ask. -the best food items to order at the pool is the salmon bowl and Thai coconut water (they serve it in a full coconut). -rooms are very clean. Really enjoyed my stay. But I could get much more value elsewhere. Read less

Nothing short of spectacular! We were staying at another hotel nearby and well…it was necessary to move. I walked into the W South Beach to just explore and consider moving to the W. The decision was a no brainer. We were greet by Ambassador Hal Demir. He showed us the impressive property and then showed us the room we had been eyeing online. Hal is a superstar of guest service. Giving us advice on many aspects/restaurants in the area. He then introduced us to Front Desk Director Rachael. Yet another superstar. We booked the room to check in the following day. We were upgraded (without asking) to the most incredible 1 bedroom/full living room & kitchen suite with a wrap around terrace with stunning views. Rachael and Hal always has a smile and a kind word for us. This was true throughout the property. Lucas at the hotel bar is another standout in hospitality, charisma and charm. Carolina at the breakfast restaurant (which is delicious) is superb. Also, the online photos of the pool and overall property do not do justice to this extraordinary hotel in a great location. We will definitely be back!!! Read less
