The location was great. There are so many food options available. There is a walking path right outside the hotel. The beach was right across the street. The hotel says they have towels, beach chairs and bikes. They have a few bikes and a few beach chairs (well used)...for the most part they have beach towels...but they ran out one afternoon and they are pretty small and well used. We stayed in the Sunrise Penthouse. The views were great. We loved the private pool. However, there are no lounge chairs for the deck. The wall lights in the room did not work, the balcony doors would not open, the pool lights did not work and the bathroom mirror light did not work. The bathroom had so much hair on the floor and in the shower that it was disgusting. If you need anything for the room it is best to just go down to the front desk. Don't bother calling down. Overall it is a great place to stay in the middle of everything. Great access to the beach. Kitchy feel.

The location was great and it was generally a good stay. The area is very nice (albeit expensive) and walkable, with lots of dining options, and right by the beach. The blackout curtains were great. However, I was charged an $80 reservation fee after arriving, during check-in. There was loud music until well after midnight. There were only two towels in the room; I asked for more and they weren't provided. There was no more hot water (in shower) around 10am. There was no chair or desk in the room. The bathroom door doesn't really close or lock. The king bed was two twin beds, so too short with a dip in the middle. Solidly 3/5.

This place was horrific. The staff were very rude, it took 4 HOURS to get sheets and pillows for our fold out sofa. I called the front desk 4 times at 9am to get towels, they never answered. The room shown in the photos wasn’t what we got AT ALL. Right off our elevator was large boxes of flooring where they are remodeling this area. We didn’t stay in the main building but in one across the way, through the gelato shop then up some ghetto elevator. I will never go back!!

It looks like a restaurant on the outside but it’s also a hotel, so that is a bit confusing at first. The building is older but the room was clean bathroom was huge, had room coffee and bottled water, and the staff was very nice. Very close to the beach. The restaurant downstairs is popular. The area is very convenient although noisy at night because of its proximity to so many venues. Which is not a bad thing if you’re there to enjoy the nightlife. They also have a pool which I didn’t get to use but it looked cool. It had a clear wall so you could people watch. It’s a perfect place to stay in Miami Beach experience and for adults. I don’t know if they have a gym I didn’t ask.

Stop and read

I stayed at this hotel once before and it wasnt so bad. So I gave them a second chance, it was going to be just for one night. I was so disappointed how the power went off early the morning I was leaving for a cruise. I went down to speak to the clerk about how the bathroom don't have any power and the iron doesn't. The clerk speak very little English, but she gave her time to someone that speak Spanish for every need the other client had. She finally looked at me and tried to understand what I was telling her. She finally told me how she cannot give me any extra time in the room to shower, get dress or groom myself in the bathroom or get a iron. I called back downstair for some accommodation before checkout time. Mr. Ruben answers the phone, he called a electric to check out the room. The power was out on the whole of the room, and he had to switch something to get the power back on. I was able to check out on time. When I went down to checkout another couple was down their complaining about their room to that same clerk. I had a different hotel once I returned from my cruise. I stayed at the Coloney Hotel few hotel down from Breakwater. Excellent services, great food price and the beds comfortable.

The location was fantastic, with amazing food and entertainment on site and within walking distance. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The rooms were quiet, even with the late night festivities going on all around the property. The room was beautiful and updated, had a slept great in the comfy bed, and bathroom was large and updated. The provided beach chairs and towels were most convenient. We stayed two nights before a cruise and really enjoyed this property.
