I don't know how this is a 4-star hotel. The pics online are not accurate - It's much more shabby and worn. There are no curtains, wallpaper, throw pillows or blanket. The shower had black and pink MOLD all over in the grout and caulk. The room had a dank musty smell. The rooms with an outside entrance have emergency lights in front of the window, so light will blast your face when you're trying to sleep. There are no blackout shades. The AC made a loud clanging noise, preventing any semblance of sleep. I had to ask the front desk agent several times to move rooms, as he didn't seem to believe me about the issues I had with ours. The new room smelled better, the AC was quiet, and there was less mold in the shower. There was still a good amount of mold. It did have a leaky shower and a broken hair dryer instead. The only parking is the hotel-owned lot across the street that's $45/day. The gym is smaller than our actual room and is an un-air conditioned, windowless prison cell in a basement. The weights are rusty and about 2 people can squeeze in there, if you're brave enough. It's super hot and just GRIM. There are no mats (not like there is room to put one though) and no water either. Housekeeping didn't come on day 2, so I requested it, as I needed towels and trash removal. The housekeeping guy told me someone said they cleaned my room, and didn't believe me that they didn't. He made me walk him to my room to show him. I had been gone all day, and just returned. It was 5pm. He said, "So you didn't just get in the bed and mess it up?!" Um no, and I didn't just fill up 2 trash bags with leftovers either. Housekeeping didnt come on day 3 so we had to request it AGAIN. They told us it was supposed to be cleaned daily. Having to prove multiple times that shit wasn't working correctly and wasn't clean was really frustrating. The only pros are the courtyard is nice, and the beach is a block away. From 9-5 there are chairs and umbrellas out just for the hotel guests. There isn't anything to do around the area, barely any restaurants or bars that are that close to walk to. The rooms were around $400/night when I stayed there. It felt more like a Holiday Inn instead of a 4 star hotel. Save your money, get a clean shower, and go somewhere else.

Hotel from across the street

I was looking for a hotel near the beach as well as near the cruise port. I stayed here for a day before going on a cruise. Overall, it was a great experience. It's a cute hotel. Right when we pulled up, someone came out to bring our bags in. We were there very early And they took our bags and told us that they could get our room in an hour. We were very happy about that and waited as check-in is not until 4 PM. The room itself is on the small side however it was very clean and cute. They include Robes for two people. There is a refrigerator as well as a mini coffee maker with some coffee. The coffee is complementary, but the two water bottles next to it are not. They are eight dollars each. There are no sign telling you that. The only thing that was negative for us personally is the lack of electrical plugs. They do have an alarm clock with multiple USB charger ports, but using an iPhone we did not have the correct USB charger. There was only one electrical plug on the other side of the room behind the table in order to charge our phones. I really wanted to go to the beach however going in December I did not realize how cold the water would be. It is a short walk across the street in between two buildings. You cannot see it from the hotel, but it is a short walk. There we each had a lounge chair and a shared umbrella reserved. The weather was nice and took a nap at the beach. We did go back to the hotel and use the pool as it was heated. Unfortunately, their website is not accurate with the restaurant they have. The restaurant online states it was Jules and that it has room service. When I went there, it is called Tiki burgers, pool and grill. So they do need to update their website. The restaurant is on their porch and as well as inside the lobby area with a bar. It seems like most of the hotels on that street are similar set up. There is a CVS two doors down to purchase bottled water, snacks or things if you're interested. They do not have an actual pharmacy, but there is a Walgreens over the bridge. When booking the room on their website, it asked if we wanted to include breakfast. We added the breakfast to our room. It did not give us any information about what was included in the breakfast. When we checked in, we were given a card for the breakfast. We went to the restaurant in the morning and we were told that eggs, bacon or turkey sausage, and toast with coffee was the only breakfast available with purchasing it with the room. They did have lots of selection of other breakfast items to buy if you do not purchase it with the room. . I do recommend checking out Circa 39 hotel . I definitely would stay there again.

So cute and trendy! We only stayed one night but I'd totally come back. They upgraded us to a king room upon arrival. There are cute outdoor seating areas, with bikes and a pool. There are robes and coffee in the room. The bed was comfortable. Definitely recommend! Only downside is no parking available.

This place is really cute! Sure, there is some wear & tear, but it's a pretty good place to stay! It's not beach front but it's just steps away from the beach. If you rent a car, there is no free parking for hotel guest. We ended up parking across the street from the hotel which was $45 per 24 hours. There's a restaurant in the hotel, we didn't eat here but we did get a smoothie and sat by the pool one morning. The smoothie was delicious. CVS is like a 3 min walk from the hotel, which is so nice because you can go and get snacks (which is way cheaper then going and sitting down somewhere to eat) Overall, I recommend this place.

Fried Brussel Sprouts. They look burned, don't they?
Maria M.

The food was beyond tasteless. I mean, no flavor at all. I ordered the Sweet Chili Cauliflower, the Fried Brussel Sprouts, and the Buffalo Wings. I opted to have all items brought out together, but all 3 were "room temperature." The Bay Breeze drink was good though I didn't taste any alcohol. What the restaurant had going for it was the outside terrace where I ate. But the cloth napkin was permanently stained making me question things. Would I go back? No. But, I'm on vacation and decided not to complain.

This is steak and pineapple&fries  And rice with veggies and salmon! So goooood

The restaurant is amazing, we order food every second day, its so good, quality and price amazing, love it, my recommendation We will be eating here during our vacation!!

Every staff member from the front desk to housekeeping were super friendly and helpful. Everyone goes out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. Rooms are clean and cozy. Can't wait to go back!!!

Dec' 2023 \\ We stayed here for two nights before we disembarked on a cruise. The staff was very welcoming. We stayed in room 1102. The room was cozy & the bed was comfortable. It was perfect for my (adult) son & I. The only downside to the room was that it smelt a little musky but it didn't bother us much as we brought an air purifier that seemed to help. The hotel was conveniently located near a cafe, CVS, liquor store & was within a couple minute walk to the beach. Dinner at the hotel restaurant was good - our server Jemay was fabulous! Even though he seemed to be in the weeds, he kept a smile on his face. The drinks that we had with dinner were delicious!! Keep an eye on your bill, Miami tends to include 18% gratuity automatically - I found this out later - after I had left a $30 cash tip, doh! Overall - we would stay at this cute, boutique hotel again! =)

Great area, a really cool waitstaff, and lovey atmosphere

The Mac and Cheese was yummy, not the best I had but it's worth getting! The location is beautiful and pleasant. Come if you are in Mid-Beach.

This was my first time visiting Miami and my partner picked this place bcus she'd stayed here before. The hotel is nice and colorful. Very inviting on the outside. Our room was not ready when we arrived so they stored our bags for us and we went to see sights and grab something to eat. Pros. Location was close to a lot of really nice places to eat and stores to get necessities. Liquor stores are literally everywhere you look so you can avoid their really high drink prices. Across the street from the beach. Really friendly restaurant staff. Cons. The towels had hair in the them. The shower had so much hair in it. We requested another room and never got it. They didn't give enough towels for a room with 2 guest. They said we had to request cleaning 24 hours in advance due to staffing and we understood. We go out one day and come back to our bed made and no towels at all. Trash emptied from one can but not the other. Very important items were left out bcus we assumed no one would enter. It was quite weird to half clean a room when no one requested it. The view from our room look directly into the room of the building next door so the windows had to stay closed the entire trip and a room with a view was requested at booking. The room is really small and not functional for more than one guest. I would not stay here again when visiting Miami. I took pics of everything except this room. Smh.

We had a great one night stay here--this is an awesome option for the price point. One block to the beach with free comfy lounge chairs, a small cute private pool, and a bar/restaurant on site. The hotel itself is super cute with bright and colorful decor. The downsides were how packed the pool area got in the afternoon and the long wait for a drink at wunderbar at happy hour. Would definitely return if I had another trip planned for the area.

Bedroom

Great little hotel just off the beach. Easy access to the boardwalk, beach and trolley. They have chairs and umbrellas for guests daily until 5:00. The staff was friendly. The only real problems we had were 1) the doors are out of alignment and have to be slammed to to get them to latch and lock behind you. So in the morning and evening you will hear doors slamming constantly because it's the only way they latch. Not ideal. We also came back to our room one evening to find another guests clothes in one of our suitcases. It had been misplaced by the housekeeper apparently. All in all a great stay. We did not eat at the restaurant but there is a nice little bodega next door and a pizza place a couple doors down as well as a CVS.

The evenings were great as we were able to sit out on the balcony and relax, while at the same time being in the lobby or hitting the restaurant was always great. We took advantage of the on-site yoga classes and the beach every day while we were there. The beach area was nice, in the servers supporting the beach I felt did their best to accommodate all of the guests outside. If you're a frequent AMEX user, I would definitely recommend going through your AMEX as it really did just make a difference. The grounds were well kept the pool was clean. The staff was friendly and most importantly, we had an overall great experience. I would definitely recommend it for anybody coming to South Beach to come here, as it's centrally located and it's easily accessible to lots of other activities you may want to consider.

If you're considering booking Loews Miami Beach Hotel, do it. I was torn between this hotel and 1 Hotel South Beach, but ultimately Loews was the more cost-effective choice, and I'm so glad I chose it. Are there more families with children here? Yes. But honestly, the location, beautiful pool, and being just steps from the beach made this stay 100% worth it. The convenience and overall experience were unbeatable. A special shout-out to Caitlyn, who checked us in and went above and beyond. She was truly an A-star front desk agent -- warm, professional, and genuinely welcoming. She was the cherry on top of an already incredible stay. She even went out of her way to leave us a little dessert to celebrate one of our birthdays. That level of thoughtfulness and hospitality is what makes a stay memorable. Our servers and bartenders were also polite, professional, and engaging throughout our visit.

The staff were generally friendly, and a few were especially helpful. They handled three packages I had shipped to the hotel efficiently, though there was a sizable per-package fee. Small touches like afternoon boozy gelato samples and a lobby change machine for breaking $20s into $5s were appreciated. Breakfast at Lolo's was decent. My Marriott status included breakfast for two, though the included menu was much shorter than the regular one and the portions were modest. Still, the food was cooked to order, tasted good, and the servers kindly let me order both breakfasts since I was traveling alone. I didn't try the Japanese restaurant on site, but I heard good things and enjoyed the neighborhood restaurants instead, especially La Grande Boucherie. I paid a substantial premium for an oceanfront double room, but I'm not sure I would do that again. The balcony and glass door were fairly small, and the balcony felt boxed in for privacy. Next time I might prefer a cheaper park-side room on a higher floor, which could still offer a nice park and ocean view. The biggest disappointment was the late checkout. My Marriott Platinum Elite status is supposed to include guaranteed 4 p.m. late checkout, but the hotel would not honor it. Each day I was told to check again later, and in the end they could only offer 1 p.m. That created real scheduling problems, since I had planned around the advertised benefit. With no good place in the hotel to work or take calls after checkout, I ended up going to the airport hours early. The status is supposed to provide a room upgrade, but that wasn't available either. A couple of other issues matched complaints I had seen in recent reviews. One elevator stopped for several minutes with a group of us inside and did not respond to the buttons, which was uncomfortable even though the door eventually opened. I also received a call inviting me downstairs for a "welcome gift," which turned out to be a Marriott Vacation Club sales pitch. That should be presented more honestly. Overall, this was a decent stay and I might return. But given the failure to honor the guaranteed 4 p.m. late checkout, I would compare other options carefully before booking again.

High ceilings, marble everywhere, and a buzz that tells you you're in the right place. What impressed me most? There's genuinely plenty to do for all ages, which is not something you can say about every Miami resort. Whether you're traveling with kids, teens, adults, or a multigenerational crew, everyone finds their lane here. The pool scene is the heartbeat of the property. Multiple pools, each with its own personality -- family-friendly areas with space to splash, quieter corners for lounging, and the high-energy spots where the music and cocktails flow. Service was dialed in across the board: fast, friendly, and always one step ahead. Rooms were spotless and stylish, with balconies that make you want to order room service just to soak in the view a little longer. Housekeeping kept everything crisp, and every request was met with that effortless "of course" attitude. Dining is another standout. From quick bites to full-on fine dining, everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Even the grab-and-go spots felt elevated. And if nightlife is your thing, you don't need to leave the property -- the energy here after dark is pure Miami. But if you're traveling with kids or just want a low-key night, the resort still feels comfortable and accessible. Fontainebleau nails that rare balance of iconic luxury and all-ages fun. It's bold, glamorous, and buzzing in all the right ways, yet still manages to be welcoming and easy to enjoy no matter who you're traveling with. A true Miami classic that continues to deliver. Enjoy
