“Small hotel brilliance in amazing location.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 17, 2013

Our first trip to Miami and first with our baby and the Z Hotel couldn't have made it easier for us. We had a pool lanai room. Absolutely beautiful. One whole wall is a glass patio with the pool outside your room. The hotel had a small kitchenette that was perfect for heating/washing the baby's bottles and although South Beach might probably not be a place you would automatically think of to go with a baby, the staff made us feel so welcome.

Location is right in the heart of the Art Deco district and a 5min walk to Lincoln Rd too. The beach is across the road and the cafe serves a fabulous breakfast, what more could you want?

Dear Travel Agency Man,

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a nice review on your recent stay at the Z Ocean Hotel South Beach. Always good to see first time guests to the beach especially with your new baby... A few years ago you hardly saw many families with small children visiting South Beach but more and more it's becoming the norm and our Pool Lanai Suites are perfect for families since you can put the baby down for a nap and still lounge on the pool deck and still be within feet of the napping child. Hopefully the Z Ocean will be your new home when visiting South Beach and we are looking forward to welcoming you back soon.


All the best

Very very helpful! Always said hello or can I help you.
Z Ocean is a wonderful place to stay, it's right next to the beach.
The view from the window was beautiful.
The room was very clean and just beautiful.

“We'll Be Back.....”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 16, 2013

I will try to contain myself with this review, since there are so many first class components to this south beach gem. I could start and finish with location, since it is in the center of the middle. I could mention that it is the most creative room design on the beach. I could, and must, mention that the staff is beyond expectations in each department. I could tell you that we slept like babies in the most comfortable beds. I could add that the coffee in the room was like Paris. I might add that a shower stall with six shower heads is an experience within itself. The balcony we were assigned was, well, spectacular. We enjoyed the city view with our morning coffee and evening jacuzzi. A walk across the street brought us to a complimentary beach ensemble of chairs, umbrella, and a parade of beautiful people enjoying their life as much as we were. This hotel is truly a great find amongst a sea of alternatives. In our many travels to south beach, there is no comparison worth any other mention.

Dear Jeff,

Thank you for posting your review. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and the location of the hotel in the heart of South Beach close to the beach, nightlife, sites and shopping. The Z Ocean Hotel is very fortunate that the building was built in 2006 and it was built to be spacious and open floor plan to really make the suite feel larger. I have shared your review with the staff and thank you so much for the kind words..... We look forward to welcoming you back soon.

All the best

“Great hotel. But do not call a doctor. Unless from Switzerland.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 16, 2013

We enjoyed this hotel in all aspects: location, room, pool, staff, etc etc etc. However, my wife feel ill. I called the front desk they arranged a doctor to visit the room. Hey great ! He was there in less than one hour. Hey...even greater? He arrived with a suitcase of medication and a credit card machine. Dr. Ryan Herbert D.O. was very happy to hear that we were from Switzerland. As he stated: The Swiss and Northern European countries have great health insurance programs and always pay. How great is this!!?? He diagnosed my wife, open up his Samsonite drug Koffer and prescribed some meds. Cannot get better than this right??!! The final bill for his 20 minute visit was USD 3000. Not 300 or 30... but 3000. The charge for his visit was in order...about USD 700, but he added about a 500% markup on all the meds he prescribed or sold. Naturally our great Swiss health insurance paid this crook and everybody lived happily ever after. Just a warning....Dr. Ryan Herbert .... or any doctor masking room calls will cost you more than what you paid for your holiday. Great.......

Room Tip: do not call a doctor to visit your room. unless your have money to waste, a good health insurance o...

Dear djbobo

Thank you for your review! We appreciate your comments and suggestions. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay here at the Z Ocean Hotel and the location, and apologize for the situation that occurred with your wife during your stay. We no longer recommend any on call medical services to come to hotel due to this incident and will recommend that if a guest needs to see a doctor while visiting there are more affordable options. I am glad that this incident did not deter your stay and that you enjoyed the hotel. We hope your wife is doing better and look forward to welcoming you back soon.

All the best
