Hotel is on the strip and very noisy at night. Bed was not so comfortable. Amenities include espresso machine in room and a small fridge. Pool is very small and desk seemed to always be out of beach towels. Good value for the money however in busy season.

Wasn’t sure about this property when reading the reviews, but found it to be quite nice. The room was good and clean. Nice shower and bathroom. Very slow elevators. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Was nice that they had beach chairs and towels available. Had bikes as well but we ran out of time to use them. Parking is terrible in the aires, we ended up using the valet parking which was very expensive but convenient. Valet said they needed 15 minutes notice to get car as they use various parking garages in the area. We gave them 1/2 hours notice and it took an hour to get the car which ran us pretty tight to make a tour we had booked. Next time we needed it we gave them an hours notice and it was there when we needed it. Now for the best thing this hotel is in one of the best locations in south beach. Right in the middle of all of the action, walking distance to the beach, restaurants and shopping. Nice walking and biking trails in both directions from the hotel. Would definitely stay again.

The Breakwater is right in the heart of South Beach - so if excitement and liveliness are what you are looking for, this is a great place to stay! There is an outdoor DJ on the property as well as a Cuban restaurant with live music. Our room was spacious, clean and modern - however the toilet wasn't quite working. The staff was all super friendly and helpful and gave us lots of tips about what to do in the area. Parking is valet only and fairly pricey - run by an independent company. However, the front desk at the hotel have a direct line so you can work with them if you have issues finding the valet. And it was very convenient having someone else deal with parking in this area. We had a lot of fun staying here, but the noise does reach the room so bring earplugs if this bothers you. Otherwise, I'd highly recommend staying here if you want the full South Beach experience.
