On the other is the beach, with the relaxed promenade and white sands leading to the Atlantic Ocean. And at the Gale, you've got an infinity-edge pool to plunge into, a delicious Italian restaurant to eat at, and rooms decorated with the beach and ocean as their inspiration.

We came to Gale South Beach after our cruise and it was the perfect place to relax. And we were taken care of by Frank and Gonzalo very well. A great visit.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at the Gale South Beach—truly a 5-star experience from start to finish. A special thank you to Priscila and Ignacio, who went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Their professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail really stood out and made us feel genuinely welcomed. The Italian restaurant on-site is top notch all the way—easily one of the highlights of our trip. Every meal was outstanding. What impressed us most, though, was the consistency of service across the entire hotel. From housekeeping to the front desk to the bell staff, everyone was incredibly kind and hardworking. The bellmen in particular went out of their way to help us with bikes, bags, and even extra water bottles—small touches that made a big difference. You can tell the team truly cares. We were happy to tip them well—they absolutely earned it. We can’t say enough good things about this place. We’ll definitely be back on our next trip to Miami! Read less

Avoid unless you’re prepared for extremely loud music until the early hours (Wednesday–Sunday)! We arrived around 3pm on Friday after a long drive down from Orlando, having booked this hotel through Virgin to end our Florida trip. We were pleased to find our room ready on arrival, and first impressions were positive, the hotel is in a great location. However, there were a couple of immediate concerns. The bathroom layout was unexpected, with the shower open to the room. As a family of four with two teenagers, this lack of privacy felt very inappropriate for a “family room.” We went out for food and found a lovely Italian bakery/restaurant nearby, and at that point we thought we were in for a great final few nights before flying back to the UK. Unfortunately, everything changed at 10pm. Extremely loud, heavy, thudding music started and did not stop. We then discovered there is a nightclub directly beneath the hotel, and our “family room” is located right above it. The noise is not just noticeable it is overwhelming, with bass vibrations that make it impossible to relax, let alone sleep. I went to reception to ask about moving rooms, but nothing was available. We were offered ear plugs, which are not a solution for us, both of our children are neurodivergent with sensory sensitivities, and cannot tolerate ear plugs or loud, persistent noise. I am writing this at 12:15am, knowing the music is expected to continue until at least 3am. We are all exhausted but completely unable to sleep due to the volume and constant bass. This is not a suitable hotel for families, or for anyone expecting a restful stay. It may be fine if you are here to party and plan to be awake until the early hours, but if you value sleep, avoid at all cost! Read less

We stayed 5 nights. The highlight was the Exceptional staff throughout. All the front desk staff were friendly, professional, quick, informative and very helpful. Special kudos to Frank, Priscila, Michelle and Gonzalo. Housekeeping was prompt and efficient. The restaurant and room service was great.
