My wife and I cancelled reservations at another hotel in the Miami area because of the Trip Advisor reviews and booked into the Ocean Point Resort. What a great choice! The ocean front room that we reserved was actually 2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths! The room is just beautiful and the view is perfect (I'm writing this as I'm sitting in the living room watching the sun rise over the ocean). You won't go wrong staying here.

I loved everything about this hotel.

Its beach front, close to restaurants, nice food, the room was clean and the view from the balcony was amazing.

Very good for families with kids since the beach is quiet and calm.

The hotel is a litle far from the South Beach night life so if you want to do something at night you'd better rent a car or walk to a few stores across the street from the hotel.

Expect to pay extra for your beach service and for the fitness center facility.

Stayed here for a weekend... The hotel is right on the beach and convenient to shopping but be warned, if you're a light sleeper, book a room on the North side of the hotel as there is a new building being constructed to the south...We had a one bedroom suite and it was more than adequate... The bathroom is large with two sinks, a seperate shower and whirlpool bath...There is also a full kitchen... Overnight parking is $20 per night... FYI, this is a residential/hotel, so the services are not what you might expect at a 4 star hotel... My only major complaint was that upon check-in at 9:30 pm, I realized I needed another blanket and pillows.. I called guest services at 10:45pm and was told, " sorry, not at this hour" - I thought it was a hotel!?! I paid 259 per night which is not a bad price at this time of year, but would not stay here again until the summer months or if the prices dip down below $200, if I really need/want to stay in this area. Otherwise, there are many other hotels I would prefer as a first choice along Miami Beach which are further south, but away from the South Beach crowd...BTW, the bed is very comfortable( if you like soft beds), so I really don't know what the last reviewer was talking about, although they are right about the sleeper sofa... Didn't try room service or the restaurant, The View, since we cooked our own food which was a good bonus for us!

We stayed at the Doubletree Ocean Point Resort during the week between Christmas and New Years. The location was convenient with stores and restaurants nearby. The beach was excellent. There is also a market on the property that sells snacks and lunches to take to the beach. Due to the time of year, our rate was $369/nt. for a one-bedroom suite (with partial ocean view). If you choose to stay here, note that there are additional charges for extras. 2 beach chairs & 1 umbrella were $30/day, internet access was $10/day and parking was $18/day; so it really adds up! Overall we felt that the following areas were problematic and did not meet our expectations, hence the low rating; hotel service, room lighting, uncomfortable bed, terrible sleeper sofa (for our child), & cleanliness.
