(390 reviews) The hotel was good to get the most out of our first taste of Miami Beach. It served us well during our stay being located in a very strategic position with a great variety of restaurants available for us nearby. It also allowed us a facilitated access to the beach, and provided us with amenities for it as well. In terms of the room itself, it was nice and decently equipped. The kids enjoyed the availability of a rooftop swimming pool that had a breath-taking view of Ocean Drive from the top. The staff were always very available and useful as they also helped us plan some of our activities. In terms of what I would suggest to improve, It would be a massive advantage if the hotel added lunchtime and dinner services and perhaps have a wider selection of food for breakfast.
