"I understand that this is a resort hotel in Miami Beach, but it is seriously lacking especially for the price. The online photos definitely are staged to make the place look much better than it appears in person. The rooms themselves are fine. Somewhat odd in layout, but fine. The balconies are nice and give great views. You are literally right on the beach (which we couldn't use due to wind and stinky seaweed). Honestly, it was all the little things that are lacking. There is only one restaurant on site. Menu items were limited, a la carte, and expensive. We were there with a group of 8 people. We were told no reservations the day before then showed up and were asked if we had a reservation. It took an hour and a half to get salads. The pool areas are fine but nothing to the extent of resort style pools. There is next to nothing within walking distance. And, everything costs (a lot) extra. $58/night to park. $60/resort fee. You have to be careful in the room because drinks, snacks, and beauty items abound - as long as you pay a hefty tag for them. The room safe didn't work, the TV stations were mostly spotty, there was an iron but no ironing board in the room. At least the bed was comfortable, but the hallways were often loud, and the room doors came nowhere close to sealing it out. I was glad it was a quick trip in all honesty."
