I was disappointed by south beach this time. Wifi was only available in and around room, then had to switch to a iffy one when eating. Alsobif booking by a third party not guaranteed the room you paid for. Probably wouldn't go back

Buyer beware! The place is in disrepair, and could easily be a nice facility. The pictures are NOT indicative of the property; we thought our room would be overlooking the pool, but there is a whole section completely unattached to the main rooms, and that's where we were put. Again..... NOTHING LIKE THE PICTURES!!! The bathroom was gross, room was very old and small, ceiling fan was dirty, and the doors and windows were unsafe. Would not recommend.

Avoid this property

Hotel really needs some upgrading. Pictures are deceiving. No toilet seats in womans bathrooms of reception and bar. No blankets, only sheets, Lock on door busted, room smells musty, towels soiled, pool cloudy, really disappointed.

The hotel is Gem 💎. Please don't let the entrance turn you off. The rooms aren't fancy but has everything you need. Beautiful pool and spectacular walking beach right after the bar.

The property was somewhat old and definitelyoutdated. Several things definitely needed maintenance and/or updating. Parking was good and secure. Hotel location was on the beach and very nice despite no ocean or beach views from any room. Extra charges for what I thought should’ve been included such as having a friend stop by and hang out for a couple hours. $15 to register that friend. Evidently typically charged extra if you wanted fruit with your breakfast. All in all I would rate this place average.

We stayed here in 2020 and the condition of the hotel is fetting run down. I love the pool, temperature just perfect. The breakfast, tho included, was very poor quality and stone cold. I would rather pay for my breakfast and get something good. The two servers were friendly
