Beautifully landscaped pool area with excellent amenities, including beachside and poolside wait service. The beach is lovely, and the rooms are clean and well-maintained. Convenient valet parking made our stay even more seamless. Overall, we had a wonderful experience.

I highly recommend booking an ocean-view room—no matter how long you plan to stay, consider adding an extra night because it’s just that amazing. A special thanks to Melinda for being exceptionally kind and helpful; we truly appreciate the fantastic support from the entire staff. Thank you so much for making our stay unforgettable! Read less

Our 5th stay. We are not in the room much, so we don’t pay the premium for an ocean view, as we prefer to be on the beach itself a lot….and what a beautiful beach it is!

Our 5th stay. We are not in the room much, so we don’t pay the premium for an ocean view, as we prefer to be on the beach itself a lot….and what a beautiful beach it is! Staff set you up at your chairs, servers come often for drink/food orders….perfect beach time. The hotel grounds are lush and relaxing, the lobby is lovely and peaceful, the rooms are very comfortable and classy (and the toilet closet has the coolest sink)! Location is amazing for long walks on the paved walkways on the beach side or walking to dozens of nearby restaurants and shops or other beach front hotels. This is our absolute go-to hotel when we are in Miami. Read less

What a lush tropical oasis to enjoy daily on the beach! A hidden gem of a boutique hotel. So happy I found this beauty. Staff is so happy and friendly here. We felt like we were with family daily. Always greeted with a smile. Everyone was always helpful and wanting to make sure we had a fabulous time. The pool and gardens are beautiful. Gorgeous palm trees swaying as you relax by the pool-which feels much bigger than pictures show. We always found pool loungers with shade. Beach was amazing well! Plenty of places to sit and enjoy the ocean breeze and waves. Water was so clear and refreshing. Staff at the beach were attentive and service excellent. Love the healthy options available on the pool/beach menu. Excellent salad and fresh fish! Wonderful drinks. Sunscreen & aloe at the pool if you need it-we did one day! ;) Plenty of cozy spots to relax on the covered deck, under palapas, laying on a hammock etc. Essencia restaurant was delicious! Everything we had from breakfast, lunch and dinner was perfect and fresh! Staff at this hotel is wonderful! Rooms were so clean and comfortable. There is a handy clothesline in the shower to hang swimsuits. plenty of amenities and towels in the rooms. Housekeeping was excellent. They even checked in with us to make sure everything was up to our standards. Definitely stay here. Access to the beach walk, many restaurants in the area and beach was excellent. Front desk, concierge, and valets, bellmen all great too! Read less

only the room quality was good Location was very peaceful however sometime it gets difficult to travel across the city. Beach facing room with direct beach access was the fun part.. Front desk was not very informative, so do your own search.
