The Pinnacle of Coastal Opulence and Zen Luxury: An Unmatched Stay at The Setai…read more ​The Setai, Miami Beach -- Collins Avenue ​In a destination saturated with glamorous resorts vying for attention, The Setai, Miami Beach exists in a rarefied stratosphere entirely of its own. It does not simply deliver luxury; it curates an exquisite masterclass in quiet, Asian-inspired serenity, timeless Art Deco architecture, and world-class hospitality. From the moment my wheels touched down at Miami International Airport until the minute of departure, my two-night stay was nothing short of transcendental. ​The Arrival: Uncompromising First Impressions ​The standard of excellence was established immediately upon landing. The hotel coordinated a complimentary black car transfer, dispatching an immaculately chauffeured black Bentley to greet me curbside at MIA. Sweeping down Collins Avenue in absolute refinement set the tone for what would become an unforgettable escape. ​Upon stepping through the threshold around 2:00 PM, the sensory immersion was instantaneous. While the hotel was operating at near capacity given its immense popularity, the reception was effortless and remarkably poised. I was warmly welcomed with a chilled, aromatic towel and a refreshing elixir of guava and lemongrass--a revitalizing touch that washed away the fatigue of travel before check-in was even completed. Bespoke Concierge & Intuitive Hospitality ​What truly elevates The Setai beyond traditional five-star luxury is its human element. The level of hospitality here is proactive, deeply intuitive, and never overbearing. The staff possessed a genuine warmth, greeting me by name with sincerity at every encounter. ​The concierge team operated with flawless precision. Throughout my stay, they maintained discreet communication via concierge messaging, checking in regularly to ensure every expectation was being met. As a prime example of their thoroughness, they seamlessly secured a prime reservation for me at Komodo (which itself turned out to be an incredible five-star dining experience) and personally hand-delivered a formal confirmation letter to my suite. That level of old-world attention to detail is an exceedingly rare art today. Rooms: The Art Deco Suite: Architectural Elegance & Unrivaled Comfort Entering the Art Deco Suite, one is immediately struck by the seamless fusion of vintage Miami glamour and tranquil Far East minimalism. The suite was in a state of immaculate, museum-grade perfection-pristine, polished, and beautifully appointed in every corner. The centerpiece, however, is the legendary bed. It is difficult to overstate the craftsmanship here; falling into that mattress after a day under the Florida sun offered an elite level of pressure-relieving, restorative sleep that genuinely ruins all other hotel beds for you. Every finish, from the rich wood paneling to the ambient lighting and deep soaking tub, created a private sanctuary of pure comfort. The Grounds, Amenities & Oceanfront Footprint The property's physical footprint offers the best of both worlds. The lush, courtyard-centered grounds feel insulated from the outside world, yet you are perched directly on the sand. Having direct, unobstructed beach access without needing a golf cart, shuttle, or bike makes slipping down to the Atlantic an absolute breeze. The paved oceanfront promenade running right alongside the property also invites leisurely morning walks with breathtaking ocean vistas. Every single amenity is maintained to perfection, and the tranquil ambiance across the iconic temperature-tiered infinity pools is unmatched in South Beach The Verdict ​The Setai does not merely meet the standard for ultra-luxury hospitality--it sets the benchmark. It is a rare haven where extravagant service meets understated elegance and tranquil peace. My two-night retreat was exceptional in every conceivable metric. For the discerning traveler seeking the absolute zenith of refined luxury in Miami Beach, look no further. An unequivocal five stars.

Only complaint would be the construction, it was happening on the side of the building, which was pretty loud by the pool area. The massage was great, it was a bit weird that we had to walk in our robes to the other building and then taken to the massage rooms. However the massage was great, they had complimentary teas and snacks. The check out process went smoothly as well and they were able to hold our luggage for a while we did some shopping due to a delay in our flight.

From the moment we arrived with check-in, getting our bags to our room, we were treated like true VIPs. Once we got to the room, we had time to change and head to the pool. The evenings were great as we were able to sit out on the balcony and relax, while at the same time being in the lobby or hitting the restaurant was always great. We took advantage of the on-site yoga classes and the beach every day while we were there. The beach area was nice, in the servers supporting the beach I felt did their best to accommodate all of the guests outside. If you're a frequent AMEX user, I would definitely recommend going through your AMEX as it really did just make a difference. The grounds were well kept the pool was clean. The staff was friendly and most importantly, we had an overall great experience. I would definitely recommend it for anybody coming to South Beach to come here, as it's centrally located and it's easily accessible to lots of other activities you may want to consider.

If being close to the beach is important. Stay here…read more If having no TV`s in any of the four bedroom is okay with you. Stay here. After hearing my friend admit that she`d paid $3000 for a four day, three night stay here, I realized that the real estate rental market on South Beach is a rip off. Our place was very clean, there were four bedrooms, two with queen beds and two with two twin beds each, and I think we were sufficiently supplied with towels, although I don`t really know since I knew going it there would be 8-10 of us sharing the space, so I took my own. The concierge (Sonny) that showed me up to the room was really nice, and the people that arrived before me told me that he had given them a tutorial on working the TV and speakers that were hooked up. Good thing he had, because even turning the TV off and on seemed to be a chore. The speakers piped through the entire unit, but thankfully each room allowed your to mute your speakers for some peace and quiet while everyone else continued to party. There was basically two living rooms and a fully stocked kitchen and that was it for rooms. I think our unit is advertised at 1700 sq feet. The owner even left us a bottle of wine and some other staples. Three bathrooms with an ample supply of hand soap, toothpaste, shampoo and conditioner and while they weren`t the cleanest bathrooms I`d ever seen, they were clean enough to step in and out of with your shower shoes on. Free wifi. And it was pretty good wifi. There was an inventory check list along with a binder full of helpful tips about local businesses, rules of the property. The quiet hours are marked at 11pm - 6am, but overall I found the building to be pretty quiet throughout our stay, there is also a night security guard There is a restaurant directly in front of the building, and the outdoor tables were full any time I exited. There is a surf shop store also underneath the building on street level, which is a good place in Miami to stock up on souvenirs etc., the cheapest lighter they had was $2.50 and the shot glasses were $3.99 and up. They also had a good selection of Ray Bans and Oakelys. And some Miami t-shirts. I mostly avoided the store, because the first day I arrived, once I hopped out my uber, I was confused as to which of the three doors to enter to get to the concierge and asked the shop owner, and he looked at me and said he didn`t know and kept sweeping the sidewalk as if I wasn`t standing there. For sure, you know which door is the entrance to a condominium that you share real estate with. Not sure how the numbering of the unit goes, but we were on the third floor facing Ocean Drive and had it not been for the palm trees, we would have had a view of the ocean. Overall, I`d never pay $3000 to stay anywhere for four days but for the location aspect of it, your are right in the smack of Ocean Drive, so go for it, but I`m sure there are less expensive options that offer more bang for your buck. The unit was equipped with an X-box and some game and a few board games and a set of ping pong paddles. None of which we used. There was a washer dryer combo which made it helpful not to have to return home with wet swimsuits and the owners supplied us with a container of Tide pods. They also provided some beach towels and an umbrella. The info binder stated that there were some businesses directly across the street that rented beach chairs. The place was closed each time we went over to the beach. Within walking distance of multiple restaurants, Fat Tuesday, Wet Willies, TGIF and Haagen Daaz.

We were a group of 10 college friends and spouses in town to celebrate an anniversary. We went out for the afternoon on a 55' Azimut flybridge sport yacht and spent the afternoon cruising the beautiful waters around Miami and Miami Beach. Captain Carl was a seasoned veteran and took all the right steps to make this a wonderful day for our group. The ship also included a steward who took care of serving food and drinks and seeing to it that everyone was comfortable. We were in excellent hands with this crew! All the upfront arrangements were quick and easy and and everything came through exactly as promised. I definitely recommend Deanne, Captain Carl and crew and The Charter Agency. This was my second outing with them. I was a guest the first time and was excited about coming back to book my own cruise. I will happily use them again. Thanks Deanne!

We had a bachelor party of 8 people and he suggested chartering two 4-person fishing vessels and having an open seas fishing competition. Payment and booking were handled quickly and professionally. He informed me that the boats can be catered, or we could provide our own food/beer. He still provided water and soda. Once the group split up we got right to it. Unfortunately one of the boats had a mechanical problem and had to come back to the dock where we quickly switched to another boat. While this is mildly frustrating, there the boat crew handled it well and apologized profusely. Once on the water, the crews on both boats gave solid lessons on what types of lines we were using, how deep the casting lines went, and advice on how to best secure a catch. The entire crew also offered interesting tidbits about the types/temperature/depth of waters that we were fishing in. Since we were all novice fisherman, the crew was very patient. All of the boats were clean and the inside area was air-conditioned and spacious enough for 4-5 people. The groom to be was very happy about the experience and Captain Matt and the rest of the crew were very fun to work with. I highly recommend this as a regular or bachelor party activity (be sure to take Dramamine the night before as the seas gets rough)
