The hype
Guests are obsessed with the sunset views and the 'pantry' on every floor, but sticker shock on food and parking is real.

$337-664/ ніч
Забронюйте це, якщо You want a glitzy, Miami-style high-rise where every single room faces the ocean and you don't mind paying extra for the view.
Чому люди це люблять
- Every room has a floor-to-ceiling Gulf view
- Zero-entry pool deck feels like a fashion runway
- Direct connection to the new Opal Sol resort doubles your amenity access
Короткий огляд: A stunning glass tower that charges top dollar for views but skimps on bathroom privacy.
Переглянуто @RTessier: I stayed here for a weekend getaway and was blown away. Every single room faces the ocean, so you wake up to this view daily. The sunset at the Sandbar was the highlight of my trip—definitely the most aesthetic spot on the beach.

ЧаПи та скриті поради
Все, що вам дійсно потрібно знати перед бронюванням.
Is the pool heated?
Yes, the zero-entry pool is heated, but shade hits it in the late afternoon due to the building's height.
Can I self-park?
No. It is valet-only, costing around $40-$45 per night plus tax.
Is breakfast included?
No. Breakfast at Sea-Guini is à la carte and pricey ($20-$35 per person).
Are pets allowed?
Yes, dogs under 30 lbs are welcome for a non-refundable fee of ~$100 per night.
How bad is the bathroom privacy?
It's a common complaint. The sliding barn doors have gaps and frosted glass, offering little sound or sight isolation.
Is there a resort fee?
Yes, approximately $35/night, covering wifi, beach towels, bikes, and the floor pantry.
