Too warm for us
Most all employees are great, but even though we could see on the website that plenty of rooms were available, they placed us in an undesirable room. In this case, we were placed in a room with air conditioning issues throughout the visit (often couldn't get below 79 degrees) with the worst balcony view of all (just above entrance). When I requested a different room, I was told by the night clerk that no other rooms were available (even though the parking lot was only 10% full). They keep the site very clean, and based on our interaction with employees, I'm sure most have a great visit.

I recently stayed at the Sea View Hotel in Bal Harbour, and while the location is fantastic, the property itself is quite dated. Opened in 1948, it certainly shows its age, which can detract from the overall experience. My first room was a standard setup, featuring a bed, TV, and bathroom. While the air conditioning and heating worked fine, I encountered a significant issue with the shower—it had very low pressure, making it nearly impossible to take a proper shower. I reported this to the front desk, and maintenance promptly came to take a look. They provided a temporary fix, but it quickly became clear that it wouldn’t hold. To avoid further disruptions to my vacation, I requested a room change. The second room was an improvement in functionality, though it had a bit of a musty smell. Thankfully, there were no further issues, which allowed me to relax a bit more during my stay. Another downside was my experience at the bar. They seemed to lack a decent selection of standard beers, including Corona. I ended up settling for a Corona Light, but when I finished the bottle, I noticed it was expired by six months. I brought this to the bartender's attention, but to my surprise, he didn’t remove the other ten expired beers from the shelf. This lack of attention to detail was disappointing. Overall, while the Sea View Hotel has a prime location and some nostalgic charm, it definitely needs updates and better management. Given my experience, I would recommend staying at a differ

My sister and I stayed at the Sea View Hotel, Bal Harbour the second week of September 2024. It is an elegant beautiful resort hotel located at the northern tip of Miami Beach. Our room was comfortable, clean and very spacious. The service at the hotel, restaurant, pool and beach were outstanding. Amenities were great and the beach, well… incredible. Because this is a resort hotel the pool and beach have towels, chairs and umbrella service. We didn’t visit the gym, but the trails by the beach are just perfect. In case you didn’t know, there is a beautifully landscaped 2 mile ribbon shape trail called “scenic path” between the beach and the hotels with several sculptures to admire along the way while you walk, run or bike. This is the perfect location for enjoying a summer vacation with everything you need at the hotel and surrounding areas. We had a blast!!!
