“WOW!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 17, 2013

We stayed here for our ten year anniversary. We booked a penthouse jacuzzi room and it was well worth it. They provided us with a complimentary bottle of wine for our anniversary, which was a nice touch. The bed is super comfortable. The rooftop terrace is specatular. I cannot say enough nice things about the service. From the front desk to the bell staff, they could not do enough for you and were so pleasant to deal with. Mickey, the concierage, was exceptional. He was very well informed with the area. He was dead on with the recommendations for dinners and lunches. We had some amazing food and it was all due to his recommendations. He is quite an assett to Z Ocean and the property is very luck to have him.

Room Tip: Get a penthouse room if you can

Dear Tubby18,

Thanks for your review on your stay at the Z Ocean and happy anniversary once again.

Glad to hear that you enjoyed the location of the Hotel and the service provided to you was outstanding. As well, thanks for the feedback on the room product, and your great experience with our Rooftop Suite.

I will also share with our staff your kind words about our service.... as for Mickey he really is a great concierge, he really knows the local area and can recommend the best restaurants to go to while visiting South Beach.

We are looking forward to welcoming you back soon.

All the best

“Still a great place in South Beach”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 9, 2013

This was our fourth visit to this hotel in the past 2 years. i have already written a few reviews on it but thought I would add 2 more things. Firstly the addition of a full time concierge is a great idea. His name escapes me a t the moment but he was very helpful and knew more about the area than most people we asked. Secondly, we stayed in one of the rooftop penthouses as we usually do and at this price...WIFI SHOULD BE FREE!!!!!!!!!!!! If you are selling luxury then you have to offer luxury!!!! no hotel at this price range should be charging for wifi...stop nickel-and-dimming customers especially when you charge a resort fee!!!

Dear MJCDN,

Thank you for you review of your recent stay at the Z Ocean and thank you for being a loyal customer on this your fourth visit.

I am glad to read you had a wonderful experience once again and you enjoyed your Rooftop Suite. Mickey our head concierge is a great addition to our staff and having a full time concierge has greatly helped with guests pre planning their visit to South Beach.

Hope to see you back with us soon.

All the best,

“Just like an old friend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 8, 2013

My fourth stay at this wonderful hotel, always at the same time of year. Even though some of the furniture and decor in the rooms could do with a refurb I have to forgive my old friend because I love this hotel so much. The bed has to be one of the most comfy I have ever slept on and the hotel location is unbeatable. The staff are the friendliest in the world, so sweet and charming. Just keep on doing what you're doing Z Ocean and you'll always have my patronage.

Room Tip: Try to get a room on Ocean Drive.

Dear Richy,

Welcome back again and thank you so much for being a loyal customer all these years.

Very happy to read about your recent experience and how much you enjoyed the accommodations and especially the bedding... I receive more emails about how comfortable our beds are and where can people buy them, I'm thinking of selling them on our website.

We look forward to welcoming you back real soon.

Take care,

“Still great hotel - second visit !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 6, 2013

For my 15th anniversary and the 60th birthday of my father I arranged a great visit to Florida. My wife and father weren’t aware that we would visit Florida. On big surprise trip !

Last time (2011) I also booked this hotel and I can say that it is really great. You should give the hotel a call before you go. They are very helpful and polite and they will arrange everything to satisfy your needs / demands. We got two great penthouses and we could enjoy some great breakfast in the morning!

Thanks all, you can be sure that I will always advise you to other people !

Sorry that I wrote this review this late but time really flies :-)

We are delighted that your stay with your family went well and happy anniversary to you and happy belated 60th to your father. Being a small intimate boutique hotel we like to personalize the guest experience as much as possible so guests calling ahead and letting us know a little about their visit allows us to make it very personalized.

We hope you come back soon and not wait four more years to visit.

“totally worth it”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 6, 2013

Veeery near the beach, impecable, friendly staff
One day we forgot to push the button to have our room cleaned and they managed to do it while we were out to dinner!
The beach guys had our chairs ready in under 5 minutes
They had a cocktail happy-hour for the guests one night, very nice for meeting people and eating
We recomend eating at Ola, just a 10 minute walk away
Room was huge, complementary coffee
The shower is as good as all the reviews say
No late check-outs though

Room Tip: if you can afford it, get the jacuzzi

Dear Milasbs,

Thank you so much for your genuine and sincere review of the Z Ocean and we are so happy that we lived up to our previous reviews.
