Old and classic with a nice tiki bar. Parking was valet only. I have a truck so had to use off site parking. Pool was mediocre nobody was in there. It was LOUD LOUD LOUD all day and all night til 5 am. Musics mixed and matched. I mean, it is south beach but at some point we just wanted to relax and wind down. No place to do that. Otherwise room was clean and spacious, staff was amazing. Good for the price. Very walkable. And across from beach.

Art deco delight

It was an art deco delight. There's nothing extra about the decor, but I would call it well-appointed. It's all well designed and exactly what I needed it to be. The rainfall shower was a pleasant surprise. The staff were excellent to me. The way the buildings connect is a little quirky, but no big deal. Tiny pool but perfect for my needs. Only 3 working chairs were available. You can see the ocean through the trees. I would stay again!
