Good location - on bus line- close to the beach- the breakfast was really hood and made on site - has a pool - staff is nice- has a writers group at cafe

Mojito
Deedee M.

Gave a star for the staff & the good mojitos Stayed here over the weekend with my sister & I would say I probably wouldn't stay here again. We stayed here in 2017 when we came so we thought it would be cool to stay at the same place. Should've went with somewhere else Check in was very simple, but we were located on the first floor where everything is located pretty much. Everyone is constantly passing your room for the pool or breakfast. The walls are beyond paper thin so the people who non stop partied in room 110, there's a special place for y'all. We heard and felt everything from that room. Appears that there are no actual quiet hours. So at 9 am we had to get up n out because we couldn't sleep due to the noise (informed man at front desk about this & nothing was done) The location is ideal with a package store right next door, & within steps to food and convenience stores. The front desk staff were nice but they did nothing about the noise I complained over 3 times about. The sink in the bathroom was stopped up so you had to be patient when washing face or brushing teeth. Also our room Smelled like sewage it was just crazy because we weren't given an alternative My sister cut her leg on the broke cheap ikea frame & she asked for a band aid at least but nope. Asked for manager but he wasn't in. "Breakfast" is just bagels fruit coffee juice etc nothing crazy They give you a paper with information on it such as advising no daily house keeping only towels upon request. But guess what? When you walk in your room someone will surprise Tf out of you but popping out the bathroom of the room they weren't supposed to clean. So I had a nice little panic attack to add insult to injury. Then I inquired why that happened & they told me the paper was old smh. The Wi-Fi sucks & there's pretty much not any cable either

Loved staying at this boutique hotel for my close friends birthday this past weekend. The staff here is unlike any other I've experiences at a hotel. They were attentive and helpful and super friendly! As soon as we arrived they made our stay feel like home. The rooms were clean and cute. The pool area was small yet intimate, almost like a backyard setting. The bar area/ entrance area is decorated beautifully and we were offered a complimentary drink upon arrival! They surprised my friend for his birthday with a delicious bottle of champagne and even came into his room to sing happy birthday! If I were to come back to Miami for a weekend, I would come back here in a heartbeat! Michelle (front desk) was an absolute doll! Thanks for everything :)

This floor is full of water!

They were very attentive the first day of our stay, but it's been been all downhill ever since! Took them two days to clean our room after multiple requests! The manager Gregory is very rude and told me he "didn't care" about my request! On top of that we are having plumbing issues with the toilet. It continues to run, and this morning it was stopped up so the plumber had to come and unclog it. Now water is all over the floor! We've been waiting an hour for them to come and clean up the water but no one has come yet!

Blackout blinds

Nice small hotel! The rooms are so tiny and the restrooms are micro. Literally. Book this if you are just here for a couple of days. They have great blackout blinds. The hotel staff is super sweet. Michelle at the desk goes above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. We had a luxury king room.

Awesome bang for your buck at this very well seated location in South Miami Beach. This was my first vacation to Miami Beach, so we took a chance on a non-franchised hotel (i.e. Marriott, Loews, etc.) that were also in close proximity. Not disappointed at all! Somehow my fiance and I lucked out with the PERFECT room in the hotel. Top floor, front; able to see the full action on Collins street. Noise level outside was not even a problem as long as the window is shut, but we are creepers and liked to have the window open and people watch late at night. Pros: -extremely friendly staff; always smiling and asking if you need anything -our room was AWESOME -clean room including the bathroom -water and iced tea available in the lobby 24/7 -safe and fridge in room; no clock radio to plug in an iphone/ipod for tunes but no big deal -good enough sized pool with both sunshine and shade available -pool and beach towels available; umbrellas and chairs also available when you ask; it's part of your hotel fee so use them! -walking distance to the beach Cons: -we had a great view, but I cannot speak for the other rooms; it is not a tall hotel, and like most of the hotels they are more deep than wide so most windows face other structures -no place in the show for me to put my stuff; i had to keep them on the floor instead of up high for easy reach I would definitely recommend! I went late March/early April so around spring break time for college students; not too crowed.

See all

My gf and I stopped through here on our way out before boarding our flights later in the afternoon. If you're toting your luggage and not a hotel guest, you will have to find another hotel to store your luggage while enjoying this most decadent brunch experience. Luckily we arrived early enough to our reservations to sort that out. Reservations are a must if you don't want to wait. The restaurant is gorgeous with various spaces designed differently but keeps to the exotic Asian theme. Dining in the atrium near the water feature in the middle with stage for the musicians is where we had our experience. Olga was our server. She brought us our special beverages not available at the bar: Bloody Mary's and endless bubbly in our glasses The offerings here are more than I can name, but there is something to satisfy every craving. The favorite for me is the caviar bar. It comes with all the proper fixings on a blini with Crème fraîche. Do you need a vodka shot to go with? Yes, that's also available also at the caviar station. Fresh raw oysters, clams or shrimp cocktail is available in abundance with everything else here. The ceviche was great. I passed on all the various noodles but had to have some lamb curry and basmati rice- delicious! I had some Peking Duck and leg of lamb at the meat station. The filet mignon and lamb chops was ordered and brought to the table. The leg of lamb and filet were slightly dry but still good. The lamb chops with chimichurri sauce was amazing- nuances of vibrant flavors. Assorted fresh fruits were a colorful collection of enticements. I saw some papaya and enjoyed its fresh, sweet juiciness. I am not a dessert person but had to try the key like pie. Then of course, the matcha dessert is a sitting temptation next to the pie. So, my dessert spoils were more than intended. What the hell right? Lol That was the sweet ending to my Setai brunch. There was so much more such as bread, fried stuff, eggs, bagel station, toast etc. One can only eat so much. I stuck to enjoying my favorites. The experience is pricey but so worth it. It is truly the best brunch experience I've ever had. - better than Vegas and a cruise ship!! I always have to experience a Setai brunch whenever in Miami!

I love this hotel, the pool, the beach, the restaurants and the valmont spa. We had a great time…read more Please note that the spa reception is on the first floor across from the hotel check-in. You must walk through the lobby and across the outside area. The sauna and the one person steam shower is located here. You Check-in then you get changed into the robe and walk across the lobby check-in area to the elevators. You are walking through the area with all the guests and their luggage in your super large robe that doesn't close very well. I did not enjoy this. Some disappointing things which was not their fault is the parking garage construction noise even on Sundays. The noise took away from my spa experience. They did nothing for the noise control. Also, the SPA requests you must arrive 30 minutes before your treatment time. I got my parking validated BUT we stayed for brunch who also validated our parking but we went over the 4 hours so we got no discount for parking and we were charged the full $35 fee plus tip for the valet. The valet staff was quite nasty telling me we were there too long for the discount BUT each one of those alone qualified for a discounted valet. You can not do both in the 4 hour window.

Our attendant was attentive but not hovering, kept the drinks coming, and food came out fast. Everything we ordered was solid -- perfect pool-day food and refreshing cocktails. There is a minimum spend requirement for the cabana, but it was super easy to hit between food and drinks. And considering you're paying for a dedicated space, service, and a prime poolside setup, it felt worth it. Overall, it was the perfect day to unwind and feel a little luxe. I'd definitely book the Ivy cabana again.

The food was very good as well. We enjoyed a complimentary breakfast as part of our hot tub booking, which was a nice bonus and a great way to start the day. One of the highlights of the hotel is the easy beach access from the back. You can simply walk out and reach the beach, and the area feels safe and lively. You'll often see people jogging, exercising, and enjoying the outdoors, which adds to the energetic South Beach vibe. The walk around the area is pleasant, and the overall atmosphere feels fun and relaxed. Overall, the Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel is a wonderful place with great service, good food, and a cool beachside vibe. I would definitely recommend it for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Came to The Local House for brunch recently and really enjoyed my time…read more The restaurant is very cute and nicely decorated. Seating inside and out. Great service with very friendly servers. I started with a cappuccino, which was nicely balanced and great foam. Then I ordered the Local Breakfast. It came with two scrambled eggs, multigrain toast, home fries, and I swapped the meat for avocado. The eggs were nicely cooked, potatoes had great flavor but were a bit cold and very fresh but I imagine freshly made are very solid. The toast was not bad. Avocado was fresh. Good portion and good prices. My friend and I shared a pancake that was pretty good but lacked a bit of flavor but was still enjoyable. I would definitely come back and try other items as they have an all day menu!

5 STARS - Incredible Service at The Local House…read more The Local House is already one of the best spots in Miami Beach -- beautiful atmosphere, great food, and a relaxed coastal vibe -- but what truly takes the experience to the next level is the exceptional service, especially from Ana. Ana is absolutely amazing. She's warm, attentive, and has that rare ability to make you feel genuinely cared for without ever being intrusive. She knows the menu inside and out, gives thoughtful recommendations, and brings such a positive energy that it transforms the whole dining experience. You can tell she really loves what she does. Every time Ana has been our server, we've left happier than when we arrived. If you're visiting The Local House, do yourself a favor and ask for her -- she makes the meal unforgettable. Highly recommend this place, and especially Ana.

Five stars for the location and awesome amenities…read more This hotel was the perfect place to stay at for a quick Miami getaway located walking distance to the beach and all the main things you could possibly want. After a long day of travel, we received two Prosecco as soon as we checked in and arrived. Our room was upgraded and it was located right across on top of the Naked Taco where the rooftop pool is at. It's perfectly located for anything you want to do, all the good food spots, bars, places, etc. The next day we went straight to the beach and they provide complimentary beach chairs, towels and umbrellas upon request and you just walk yourself to the beach with them. There's nothing like Miami Beach! The water was perfect and it felt so good to just defrost on the sand and dive into the gorgeous turquoise water. After a few hours at the beach, we went back, enjoyed late check out and headed to crunch fitness - which was absolutely worth it! We were able to leave our bags at the front desk while we worked out, grabbed a late lunch, some drinks and then got to come back and enjoy the rooftop pool during happy hour for drinks and snacks until sunset. It was the perfect Miami daycation that we needed!

And the five-star touch continued inside thanks to Melody, the Director of Front Desk, who made us feel like our stay actually mattered. We were celebrating a very special occasion--dinner plans were set, we simply needed a place to spend the night. What we got was an incredible room with a private terrace and a stunning view of South Beach. And as if it couldn't get any better, we were surprised with a complimentary bottle of champagne, which made for the perfect nightcap, and an even better start to the morning alongside our mimosa. If you're staying in South Beach, Dream is more than a name--it's an experience!

Included with your resort fee are cool fitness sessions, daily gelato, and complimentary beach chairs. Umbrella is not included ($30 extra) and the day beds run around $300 - $350. It also included 2 hour bike Art Deco tour. Self parking is $55 and Valet is $58 so really no difference. Anything you care to do is probably walking distance which is great including a park for pets and kids. There is an on location restaurant called LoLo's Surf Cantina that you can order to the beach after 11:00 am. The rooms are small but accommodating. The only reason I cannot give 5 stars is because the upkeep is moderate. We found serval places with mold, dust, and stains.

I stayed at this Marriott and generally had a good experience, but not quite a four-star one…read more The location is excellent, and the price was reasonable by luxury beachfront South of Fifth standards. The staff were generally friendly, and a few were especially helpful. They handled three packages I had shipped to the hotel efficiently, though there was a sizable per-package fee. Small touches like afternoon boozy gelato samples and a lobby change machine for breaking $20s into $5s were appreciated. Breakfast at Lolo's was decent. My Marriott status included breakfast for two, though the included menu was much shorter than the regular one and the portions were modest. Still, the food was cooked to order, tasted good, and the servers kindly let me order both breakfasts since I was traveling alone. I didn't try the Japanese restaurant on site, but I heard good things and enjoyed the neighborhood restaurants instead, especially La Grande Boucherie. I paid a substantial premium for an oceanfront double room, but I'm not sure I would do that again. The balcony and glass door were fairly small, and the balcony felt boxed in for privacy. Next time I might prefer a cheaper park-side room on a higher floor, which could still offer a nice park and ocean view. The biggest disappointment was the late checkout. My Marriott Platinum Elite status is supposed to include guaranteed 4 p.m. late checkout, but the hotel would not honor it. Each day I was told to check again later, and in the end they could only offer 1 p.m. That created real scheduling problems, since I had planned around the advertised benefit. With no good place in the hotel to work or take calls after checkout, I ended up going to the airport hours early. The status is supposed to provide a room upgrade, but that wasn't available either. A couple of other issues matched complaints I had seen in recent reviews. One elevator stopped for several minutes with a group of us inside and did not respond to the buttons, which was uncomfortable even though the door eventually opened. I also received a call inviting me downstairs for a "welcome gift," which turned out to be a Marriott Vacation Club sales pitch. That should be presented more honestly. Overall, this was a decent stay and I might return. But given the failure to honor the guaranteed 4 p.m. late checkout, I would compare other options carefully before booking again.

High ceilings, marble everywhere, and a buzz that tells you you're in the right place. What impressed me most? There's genuinely plenty to do for all ages, which is not something you can say about every Miami resort. Whether you're traveling with kids, teens, adults, or a multigenerational crew, everyone finds their lane here. The pool scene is the heartbeat of the property. Multiple pools, each with its own personality -- family-friendly areas with space to splash, quieter corners for lounging, and the high-energy spots where the music and cocktails flow. Service was dialed in across the board: fast, friendly, and always one step ahead. Rooms were spotless and stylish, with balconies that make you want to order room service just to soak in the view a little longer. Housekeeping kept everything crisp, and every request was met with that effortless "of course" attitude. Dining is another standout. From quick bites to full-on fine dining, everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Even the grab-and-go spots felt elevated. And if nightlife is your thing, you don't need to leave the property -- the energy here after dark is pure Miami. But if you're traveling with kids or just want a low-key night, the resort still feels comfortable and accessible. Fontainebleau nails that rare balance of iconic luxury and all-ages fun. It's bold, glamorous, and buzzing in all the right ways, yet still manages to be welcoming and easy to enjoy no matter who you're traveling with. A true Miami classic that continues to deliver. Enjoy

Horrible. Every single item or experience is an extra fee or heavily monitored, effectively killing…read moreany relaxing vibe you might want for the high, "luxury" price you pay. This is a tourist trap extraordinaire. It made me feel like I was paying to be in a place trying to extract from me, not serve me. And yes, I did complain twice to the front staff about these issues - to stony faces and lame excuses that were canned and code for "we don't care." The resort fee is $60/day (which is not made clear on Orbitz, where I booked it), yet when I went in February the pool and all outdoor facilities - which is what the resort fee pays for - closed at 6pm. We were told it closes at "sundown," even though they clearly have outdoor lights for the whole outside facility. Want to swim in the evening or night? Nope. All those pictures with the pool lit up? Not for you. And if you dare to be in the pool at 6:01, there were six staff for every one guest to tell you to get out. Seriously, we got warnings to get out at 10min to 6, 5min to 6, and at 6:00. Why every five minutes? Because a group of staff members were hovering over us, watching and waiting for the moment to kick us out. Very relaxing. You have to wear an armband everywhere you go. Staff are at every door as you go in or out - hotel to pool or pool to beach - monitoring you to produce it. Very relaxing. There is no coffee in the room, forcing you to travel across the whole huge facility (3 towers connected by long walks) to their coffee shop to pay $10 for a cup of coffee each morning. You could walk all the way back to your room, or - like me - you can try to drink it by the pool. But NO! You can't sit by the pool. Those seats and lounges require you to pay a fee, even in February when there was NO ONE there. If you don't want to pay, you can find a free lounge on the outer fringes. And if you try to sit without paying, there are staff to tell you to move immediately. Hovering, as usual. To get a lounge on the beach - in February, low season - we had to get in line to sign up for a chair and then get in a second line of 20-30 people and wait in the hot sun for an available, assigned chair and a staff person to take us there. Grab a chair and relax? Nope. It's a monitored system. When we checked out, the staff told us there were too many rooms to provide a coffee maker in each one. I guess their policy is to assume their guests are stupid.
