Location was fantastic and the rooms were nicely laid out and decorated.

Check in was inadequate - needed information on facilities, how to get to the pool and breakfast arrangements. You need to collect a voucher each morning Breakfast is provided via a voucher at a local cafe - the menu is fairly limited but okay. Cafe is 5-7 mins walk and on from 8-10am The bathroom and some fittings need upgraded, lots of rust in the bathroom with the shower floor needing repaired. Cleaners also need to pay attention to low supplies of toiletries, shower gel wasn’t topped up all week for example The club next door is unnecessarily noisy at quiet times, ear plugs are essential however aware of that from other reviews. Expect noise until 2am most nights

2nd stay at hotel, first was in 2016 Location is excellent, in the heart of ocean drive Huge room with lots of space for luggage and a safe Great size bed and extremely comfortable linens Availability of beach chairs saves a huge amount of money, rental is $68 for 2. We bought an umbrella from the shop and had chairs daily from the hotel. Beach towels also a bonus. Fresh water bottles provided daily and on request from reception Good size bathroom with double sink and good lighting Ironing facilities in the room at all times Small convenience store around the next corner - it’s at basement level so hard to see but would have been good to have been given this info at check in for buying supplies. Water at the restaurant inside the hotel lobby was $11. Staff were friendly and check out was very polite

We had received a message that the hotel based on availability may accommodate us to an upgraded room, but unfortunately they were unable to. they said that they were booked. The room at Breakwater was clean, the bathroom had been updated but the view was a city view and I had hope for a view of Ocean Drive , but was told that those view are only for the penthouse rooms. We completely understood but it would have been nice if the Hotel could have done something special for us throughout our 5/4nt stay. A breakfast voucher, complimentary drink something.... it just would have been nice. Also during our stay the Ice machines on both the 2nd and 3rd floor were not working. The phone in our room did not work, as well as the light on the night stand. These were minor issues that were address during our checkout.

The Location of the Hotel was superb! We were visiting for our 26th anniversary. Once you walked outside of the hotel the beach was directly across the street and there were many options for dining and shopping. We did have dinner a t Versace on our anniversary, as well as Mangos which was a blast (although you have to make reservation at both locations). We also ate at Pelicans Cafe.

There were only a few things we really didn't like, one was the elevator we used to get up to our room was so incredibly slow it felt like days waiting to just get on or up to the 4th floor where our room was. In the room, we were met with one big dead cockroach lying next to our bed right before you stepped out onto the balcony. Had to kick him under the bed to stop myself from stepping on him all night long. The coffee maker in our room was nice but didnt have any coffee pods or anything else besides the coffee maker and cups. The shower wasn't at all what we expected, we went to use it after walking around Miami in the afternoon and noticed that the shower handle was practically falling off the wall before we even touched it, once we got it on and figured out which one was the rain head and which was the other, the temperature wouldn't get any warmer even though we had it turned up all the way. I can't complain too much about the noise since we understood that we were quite literally next to a night bar/club, but it was there and lasted until 3:30 in the morning. So if you are looking for quiet then this one isn't for you, we didn't mind too much the noise just the random ladies who screamed.

This was an interesting stay, when we got there all you see first is this amazing restaurant before you see the hotel check-in. We were greeted happily and were able to leave our luggage while we waited for a room to be ready. We got there super early off the cruise ship, luckily the staff was awesome and managed to get our room ready before 4 pm. The room was decent-sized and had plenty of room to unwind and relax. The bed was super comfy and huge so my crazy sleeper had enough room to spread out, and I still be comfortable. Our balcony overlooked the restaurant below, and had a small view of the ocean from it. The food from the restaurant was delicious and to us seemed authentic since we had a Cuban sandwich, which had all the works. We were able to freely grab beach chairs and towels to walk, literally not even 5 minutes to the beach across the street. They also had bicycles available for us to use along the beach or the streets around the area. Everything was within walking distance from the hotel, which was nice to just walk around and see South Beach Miami.

I didn’t really care for having to walk from the hotel lobby through an entire restaurant and an ice cream shop to get up to my room, but I also didn’t mind it. It was nice to see a little ice cream shop when I got out of my room in the morning. We had water pouring through a light fixture called down to office. Never heard anything back to see if any of our stuff got wet or anything.

I did like the convenience of being right off of ocean because of all the bars, lots of places to eat lots of music and vibes. The beach is a decent walk from the hotel but it’s really not that bad. Room was home looking didn’t give off a whole hotel vibe, which was really nice

The ice machine was out of service so I had to ask the restaurant next door for ice

Upon registration the man behind the counter was not concerned that they showed 3 bookings when I clearly had only 2 (one-me and one showing my mother’s name, that I had just added to the other of my only 2 bookings). Oh, I will be watching my account to see how this plays out. He kept telling me that i would need to take it up with booking.com. Ummm, sir, your computer showing 3 rooms, one of which you tried to give me the key for that no one would be starting in doesn’t help the situation and yes, I would be taking it up with booking.com if I get charged a 3rd room. Just because you or the hotel computer doesn’t know how to understand adding a name to a guest room doesn’t constitute a 3rd room doesn’t mean I’m automatically in the wrong. And the attitude, not necessary because I gave none nor was I rude. I just showed my phone which reflected 2 rooms and 2 names. I asked questions about it and stated I didn’t need the 3rd set of room keys that you tried to give me. FYI- stayed here again when we got back from the cruise and the staff working that weekend (7/11-7/12) was excellent-kind, helpful, no issues with that reservation.

The music can be heard in the room Facing the pool/bar area throughout the night until close. If you have the AC on all night you might be able to drown out that noise with the AC.

Excellent location. The location is on Ocean Dr. and is easy access to the beach and walks to the other restaurants/clubs.

I wish that we had a microwave in the room. I had nothing but leftovers and couldn’t save or eat my food.

I loved everything.

More options for non pork eaters with the free breakfast would be nice. Our room was good but I will say that each superior king room is different. We had carpet but my cousin who was on a different floor didn’t have carpet. We also had a nice big bathroom with double sinks but my friend two rooms down didn’t.

The breakfast was just ok. There were no pork alternatives. There are several restaurants that offer discounts if you’re staying at Breakwater and the food was good!

The t.v gave us some trouble and it took over an hour for the maintenance guy to come. The other thing I didn't we didn't like the most was the balcony door did not lock at all and the only time it did lock was when it locked me and my husband in the room that he had to climb out the bathroom window to open the door from the outside. We called the front desk and was told there was nothing they can do until the maintenance guys came in later that morning. Thank God my husband was able to get out through the bathroom window otherwise we wouldn't have been able to go out to the balcony until someone finally came to help.

We stayed in the penthouse ocean which was great, it had its own private infinity pool and the balcony was huge, with ocean view and views of the south beach strip ( Ocean drive) which was perfect.

There was no place to put two open suitcases or unpack other than the floor.

The hotel was right across the street from the beach. They gave us 2 bottles of water each day, coffee and toiletries in the room and also provided beach towels and chairs to us. We got the upgrade which included breakfast each day. The breakfast was delicious and provided a lot of choices.
