Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Breakwater South Beach is situated in a prime location in the Art Deco district, right across from the beach on Ocean Drive, offering convenient access to dining and nightlife. The rooms are spacious, with some offering amazing views, and are equipped with amenities like a fridge and a Lavazza coffee machine, though some rooms may lack a closet. Guests appreciate the on-site bar and restaurant, with Restaurant Havana 1957 offering great prices, and the hotel provides beach chairs and bike rentals for added convenience. The pool is on the narrower side, yet it remains a popular amenity.

Satisfactory experience

helpful staff beach chairs valet parking poor breakfast elevator service broken elevator
The location was amazing. The staff were courteous and helpful. I especially appreciated that the hotel provided beach chairs . I used valet parking right outside the hotel.
The daily breakfast was a disappointment. It lacked imagination. The elevator service was terrible. The main elevator was broken for the majority of my stay.

the location is excellent, right across from the beach. the front desk staff was very helpful (especially lily).
my room was next to the kitchen, so there was kitchen noise, competing with the restaurant music. my window faced a wall and steps to the pool, so i could not see the sky.

Lovely Stay!

central location beach chairs complimentary towels luggage storage
The location is unbeatable. I walked everywhere. The complimentary beach chairs and towels were a fantastic perk. I was able to explore the area using the hotel's free one-hour bike rental (a great way to see more of the surroundings). The staff stored my luggage securely upon early arrival.
The breakfast options were a bit limited.
