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

Rezerviraj to, če 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.
Zakaj je to priljubljeno
- 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
Hitri pregled: A stunning glass tower that charges top dollar for views but skimps on bathroom privacy.
Pregledano od @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.
