it was bad. there was ants. the pool was cold like always.the water was brocken. we had to call 4 times to get pillows.they switched are room to a bad one and we had to wait 1 hour for our room to be cleaned.

The property is excellent and location is very convenient. The only thing to be aware of is a large condo is being built next door to the hotel and construction begins daily at 8am (as of Feb. 2008).

The staff was very helpful, roooms were great (especially for South Beach), and beachfront is ideal.

The hotel is a bit pricey, but highly recommended if this is the type of property you are considering.

The location was wonderful, my room was patially overseing the beach, i could see the cruise ships coming in and out. There is 2 towers. make sure to know which one you are in or call to make sure and get the room with a ocean view. You will get your money's worth, rooms have a plasma Tv and they are perfect. They have a sauna and Gym that was great after all that eating and drinking.

Maybe I got lucky,
but I had a perfect room, very comfortable, with a diningtable, a desk, internetacess, a fullsize kitchen (big fridge), livingroom with soundsystem and dvd player, a very good bathroom, with big shower (for two;-), and a kingsize bed.

This hotel was everything that I expected for this prize.

The only bad thing was that ...

Very nice brand new hotel, with upscale furnishings and also located in the best area of the south beach. Gym is of perfect size, with adequate equipments for vacation work out and supplied with bottled water, individual TVs with headphones. The Pool, spa and beach club areas were pretty nice, but could use some services, with drinks and food. The ...
