The Hotel far exceeded my expectations. In the early opening stages and was just perfect. The Staff is professional and uber friendly. The Decor is "edgy" and upscale and a delight. I am so looking forward to returning when the renovation has been completed (restaurant, swimming pool etc.) The rooms, lobby and comfort areas are all complete. The location is... More

We were lucky to be transferred from another hotel to Breakwater, which turned out to be all we ever expected from Miami South Beach. An old 1939 Hotel totally renovated to current standards with respect to the original style. Breakwater is beautiful, both in and out. However, it was only soft-opened, the pool and other amneties will open later this... More

I traveled to Miami from Europe and the level of customer service is amazing. The hotel is brand new and the staff is absolutely stunning, always willing and able to help. The rooms are new and fresh and I could not say one negative thing about the hotel. LOVE IT!!! I will be back very soon. Thank you.

We went for a couple's getaway and we booked a room at the Breakwater through a travel website. This hotel is in a renovation phase and is located on a prime spot on Ocean Drive. The pool is not yet ready, which is a big reason why rates are so affordable at the present time. The customer service is FANTASTIC.... More
