Very run down and in need of refurbishment. Has gone down in quality since i last stayed here a few years ago. An erroneous charge was placed on the bill. I could never get through directly to someone and left multiple messages which were never returned. On the plus side the location is great. However I won’t be returning.

Below Average "Four-star" Hotel
Overall we had a mediocre stay here at Z Ocean. Upon walking in through the breezeway, it was very dirty and not setup for use. It appears that some homeless people had slept there the night before based on items/trash left behind. The room was average with minimal amenities (no extra pillows or towels, had to ask for coffee pods.) The biggest disappointment was the "spa" located on our rooftop patio. It was more of a soak tub and not the personal hot tub that was advertised. When we arrived, it was filthy with human hair still on floor of the tub so it was clear that they do not clean these. I would not consider this a four-star hotel and definitely feel misled by this rating. I would not stay here again.

the photos on Expedia unfortunately no longer reflect the current state of the hotel, everything is a bit run down! Staff not particularly interested in guest service. A queen bed for 3 adults😩???! The terrace with the whirlpool unfortunately cannot be used at all as there is so much noise from the next room, probably a broken whirlpool!!! It was not possible to open a window! The supposedly included breakfast for 2 people (there were 3 of us?) is just a coupon for $20, which is not nearly enough, the portion of salmon we ordered is a tiny slice! So you might as well have breakfast somewhere else! Coffee machine in the room but the coffee is unfortunately inedible.

We spent 4 nights at ZOcean and I have to say “not exactly as advertised” as the suite we stayed in had roof access but the hot tubs are not running, the furniture was lacking cushions on the patio, the actual room was in disrepair and the kitchen / dinette had a plastic plat a fork and a knife. Not what you read when you book the “upgrade”. The folks at the hotel are nice enough but the hotel has not been invested in to be at the advertised level for what looks like 10 years. Very disappointed in the accommodations. On the positive side it’s in a great location near dinning and the beach.

The hotel is very old and poorly maintained. The gym is a joke. It looks like a dungeon. There is almost no equipment. The TV system is from the previous century. If it works. Not a very presentable establishment at all.

A large tastefully decorated room with a huge outside deck to enjoy people watching. Lovely heated pool in the courtyard and hot tub. Restaurant attached to the hotel. We really loved this accommodation for our Miami trip.

I enjoyed my stay and will be coming back. The room was fantastic, very clean property. Location is fantastic and free beach chairs and umbrella is just the best. Would not buy the food option again though, you can walk outside of the hotel and there are so many bakeries and restaurants within a few steps. Look forward to my next stay here already!

The staff was amazing and as accommodating as they could be. The hotel is just old. I’ve stayed here more than 8 times in the last 20 years but will not be returning. We paid $450 for a rooftop suite, there was no chase or chairs on the RT like the other rooftops and the hot tub was so filthy we didn’t even want to turn it on. Also our “city view” was of rooftop air conditioners. Again the front desk staff was amazing. She held our luggage, let us check in extremely early which was so appreciated. It’s just the accommodations for the price is not worth it. We could’ve stayed at the Loews or Ritz in luxury for the price here.
