I used to stay at the Shore Club in the 2000s all the time, and loved it. At some point, however, the service seemed to slip and public spaces and rooms started to feel a little run down. So, when I heard the hotel had done renovations, I decided to give it one more try. I was not disappointed. The rooms were fresh and clean and the pool area, bars, lobby, etc. all looked great. Service was awesome -- beach set up was easy and people at front desk were attentive and helpful. This is my go-to spot in miami beach.

What a wonderful place to stay! The property is beautiful, the rooms are spacious and the staff welcoming and helpful. The highlight again was the best massage ever by Harold. I strongly recommend everyone who can should schedule a massage with Harrold when staying at the Shore Club - you will be happy you did!

The girls in guest services were pleasant, helpful, and had a great sense of humor. We were given an upgrade to a suite with a balcony with ocean and city views and it was gorgeous. The grounds are beautiful with beds and couches everywhere to just lounge around under the palms or next to the pool. At night the white curtains by the pool bar are illuminated with blue lights and set free to blow about in the wind. It really is a beautiful sight and a great place to sip a cocktail before heading out for the night. The only negative thing I have to say is that we witnessed 3 prostitutes while there. One hanging out by the elevator approached a male friend, another in the lobby sitting and another sitting out front on our way in later that night, but she could have been waiting on a cab. I guess the hotel can't control who their guests bring in.

For the third year in a row I have stayed at the Shore Club during the Art Basel Miami Beach art fair. For the purpose of this trip you can't beat the location but what brings me back to the Shore Club is the fact that it is just a great hotel - starting with the front desk, to the guys that bring your bags to your room, to the quality of the food in the restaurant and at poolside, and the crew at the concierge desk that provided not only local directions and advice but also helped with some business matters. I've run the gamut of the hotels in Miami Beach/Miami over the years and if you read the reviews of the travelers to this area you keep hearing the same complaints: "rude staff," "attitude," "dirty," "needs updating," but not at the Shore Club. The hotel and grounds are well kept and beautiful, the rooms clean and very modern, and the staff is helpful at every turn. I know that this is one of the more pricey hotels In Miami Beach (especially during a busy time like the art festival) but you are really paying for this quality and the security of knowing that you will have a good stay. Last but not least, the beds are great !
