Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Grotto-style pool with waterfalls and a separate lap pool
- Spacious rooms with kitchenettes or full kitchens
- Direct beach access with lounger service included in resort fee
Snel Overzicht: A solid, family-heavy condo-hotel that delivers on amenities but charges steep fees for everything from parking to breakfast.
Beoordeeld door @ingaw18: I stayed in this high-floor suite and the ocean views completely blew me away. Waking up to that endless blue horizon and having coffee on the massive balcony was the highlight of my Miami trip. The interior is comfy, but that view is the real luxury.

Tips van Insiders
- ✨
Walk to 'Family Fresh Café' for a much cheaper breakfast than the hotel buffet
- ✨
The 'grotto' pool is chaotic with kids; use the lap pool for a slightly calmer vibe
- ✨
Request a microwave if your room type doesn't guarantee one (most do)
