We recently stayed here for 4 days and it was an excellent experience that I would highly recommend to anybody. Upon our arrival we had staff greet us and provided us with a room even though we were a couple of hours early before check in time. The comments you read about the hotel being loud, well what do you... More

We did not stay here but did stop for breakfast after a lovely stroll. It was very tasty and portions were ample. Yummy! My husband has just announced we are going back for breakfast tomorrow again. Sitting on the pavement/sidewalk was an experience and I loved seeing the world go by, with all the characters and different modes of transport,... More

We recently stayed here for 10 days and it was an excellent experience that I would highly recommend to anybody. From the moment of arrival, we were greeted by the valet outside with a huge smile as well as receiving great service from the reception staff (Natalie and Avram). We were instantly provided with a quiet room - which btw... More

First some general comments - this place is LOUD (many of the rooms face EXTREMELY loud clubs and definitely don't have soundproof windows) and the bathroom doors don't really "close" per se - they're sliding and leave a huge gap where you can totally see (and hear) everything. There were definitely things that were falling apart in the room, as... More

After booking this room on Hotwire.. I read the reviews on tripadvisor. Hearing that the rooms were really noisy made me nervous, I'm a girl who needs my sleep! Upon arriving at the hotel, we requested a quiet room, the woman as the front desk was happy to oblige! We got a great room on the opposite side of where... More

My wife and I stayed at Hotel Breakwater over the weekend. We had read the reviews ahead of time so we knew it was across from the Clevelander and it would be loud at night, but you are in South Beach if you want quiet, maybe you need to stay in Miami and take a cab to South Beach. The... More

Ok so first, the bad: the pillows were too puffy for our liking; the WiFi blows balls; drinks sre expensive (but so are all drinks that you order on ocean dr.); and lastly this place may be noisy for boring couples who want to go to sleep early. FYI, if you're looking for a place that resembles a retirement home,... More

DO NOT STAY HERE!!!! We read reviews on Trip Advisor, but still booked here because of the hotel's central location. We knew people said they got no sleep so we phoned, months in advance and were guaranteed a quiet room. We stressed that this was most important and were assured we would be looked after. On arriving, we were given... More

We celebrated a bachelorette party for one night here. Staff is excellent. Rooms bright and stylish. No need to go far to find action, even on a Wednesday night. My only caveat: beware of drink and food prices. Breakfast is touted as 5.99$ but it is misleading. Two cocktails were 39 bucks. But hey, this is Miami.
