Don’t let the glossy photos or the “iconic” reputation fool you. This place is a complete letdown and disaster and it is NOT worth a fraction of what they charge. From the moment I arrived, it was clear that everything here is designed to extract money, not provide comfort or service. The hotel is a giant, disorganized maze. It feels impersonal and chaotic — more like an overcrowded shopping mall than a relaxing beach resort. The room was shockingly small and outdated, with filthy carpets, no refrigerator, and zero thoughtful amenities. They offer to rent you a mini-fridge for $30 per day. At this price point, that’s just absurd. Basic hygiene items? Forget it. No liquid soap at the sink or in the shower. Just tiny bottles that scream “budget motel.” And good luck finding drinking water. There’s only two refill station, by the pool. Not even one in the lobby or on guest floors. This is Miami. In June. The beach? Located in one of the least desirable stretches of Miami Beach, with no vibe, and they charge $30 a day just to use an umbrella. It’s obvious they’ve stripped away every included amenity and turned it into a cash grab. Dining? Either overpriced and mediocre on-site options or a long walk. You’re essentially trapped unless you want to Uber everywhere. Breakfast is laughably expensive for what you get. And then there’s the security overkill. You’ll be constantly stopped by staff asking for your room key at the pool, at the beach. It doesn’t feel secure. It feels invasive, like you’re being monitored just for existing in their overpriced compound. I’ve stayed at other beachfront hotels in Miami where I actually felt like a guest. Here, I felt like a walking dollar sign. Style over substance at its worst. Do yourself a favor. Stay literally anywhere else. Read less
