Great location. Great restaurants underneath. Comfy bed. The bathroom door for a room that sleeps 4 was frosted glass sliding barn door that didn't stay closed. Terrible set up. Room was a little beat up, especially the shower tile. Big glob of someone's hair on the shampoo bottles in shower. They don't give you fresh toiletries. It's full sized bottles in shower. The pool also very tired and in need of a remodel. Looked old and a beat up and the cushions were dirty and mildewy. We enjoyed being in that location but probably would not return.

There are pros and cons at the Breakwater. Pros: First, we stayed in a Junior Suite and they are huge! Soooo much better than other hotels we have stayed at in South Beach. Also, the beds are really comfortable. They provide water daily and the fridge kept things cold. Second, the cleaning staff were so nice, accommodating and helpful. Third, the hotel is right in the middle of all the action in South Beach. Great location!! Lastly, there was one front desk advisor that was exceptional, Kat knows her stuff and wants to make customers happy. Thanks to Kat for everything!! Cons of the Breakwater. First, there room card system is very old and we had to frequently go get our cards reactivated (note, don’t put it near a phone 😉). Many of the customers had to do the same. Second, the front desk staff (besides Kat) were not very efficient or knowledgeable. There were often lines for those checking in and for other requests. It would make sense for them to hire a concierge that can help with all the customer questions so the front desk can check people in and out. Third, the rooms could have been a little cleaner. The nooks and crannies are not being addressed. We had a small stain on our couch that needed cleaning. Lastly, there was no safe in the room. Not a show stopper, but they are nice and I thought pretty standard. Overall, I would stay here again. Mostly because of the large rooms and comfy beds. One last note- the breakfast was EXCELLENT!!

I rented a room before and after a trip at this place for the first time. The staff was amazing, watched a dude with the most patience I’ve seen in months calmly explain to a customer multiple times about cancellation policies. Everyone I spoke to was very polite and helpful. The rooms themselves were pretty rad but the shower/bathroom water never got hot and switched back and forth between hot and cold during use and was mostly on the cold side of warm. Ice machine didn’t work, neither did the coffee makers. One might wonder why I’m still leaving a 4-star review; mostly the staff. I didn’t really complain about the issues because I honestly didn’t care that much but these issues bring brought up may help someone else in the future so I’m just laying it out honestly.

This was our second stay within 2 weeks we stopped in a standard room for 2 nights at the beginning and all was well then went off on a cruise and after that had a 1 night stop and blew the budget and booked the penthouse Ocean view room. We arrived at about 10am and it was very busy with people checking out and other people like us returning from a cruise and wanting to store luggage. Check in was 11am and we didnt expect the room to be ready for us but the lady at reception said she would get the room available as soon as they could so we left the luggage and went away. We returned about 2.30 and the lady told us the room was still not ready but to wait as it shouldnt be long so we sat in reception and waited she left about 3pm so having not been approached by the new member of staff we went to the desk and all of a sudden our room was available so checked in. Amazing how it was suddenly available.We went to the room. It had its own pool area however that was freezing cold and unuseable. However what concerned me most was that the door to the pool area did not lock and the pool area had another door out to the main corrider that was open and also unlockable. My room was accessible by anyone. Then the safe didnt work. Well i wasnt happy but as we had locks on cases we just put up with it overnight. I told the staff at reception when we checked out and they looked very surprised. As per my last review Rubbish Housekeeping woke us at 9am how did they not notice the broken door
