“Nice surprise!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 7, 2012

The South Seas Hotel was a great experience for the whole family! We spent 3 days in Miami Beach, the hotel is nice, clean and perfectlly located. The staff is the best! I´m not use to deal with so flexible people! May be is the mixture of nationalities! All of them tried to help and find suitable options for our travel with kids. Thank you Marcia, Fabiola, Rudy, Robert and the ladies who served breakfast. We will return soon!

“good times...........”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 2, 2012

just back from South Seas - South Beach. No complaints. If you are looking to whine about something you may find it - but if you are looking for a nice, clean place, thats not $300 a night
this will do nicely.
Anna at front desk was very helpful. Staff all friendly.
Pool is nice, easy walk to beach.
WAS GREAT for us, we are not complainers.
Halloween way fun on South Beach

“Once again the South Seas does not disappoint!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 25, 2012

I come to Miami 2-3 times a year and it is still my favorite. I was recently in South Beach for 10 days so I figured I'd try the Richmond for 2 nights just for a change of pace. Big mistake and one I will not make again! So I spent the following 8 nights at the South Seas. First of all I feel like I'm staying at a family hotel. Anna at the front desk is always there to help. The girls at the bar are awesome. I highly recommend the happy hour..2 for one drinks! The blackened Mahi Mahi on a goat cheese salad or the sandwich are YUM! The rooms are always immaculate. The location is perfect...right on the beach...close to Lincoln Rd. Pool area s great Breakfast is included. Without a doubt..the best value on South Beach!

“weak service but decent place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 17, 2012

The staff was very rude and lazy but seems to be common in Miami. Valet finally got off his cell phone when we were past him, inside, and had carried our luggage up the stairs. Waited for a good 2-3 minutes at front desk while attendant talked to someone else working there. When we left we ordered our car for 5:45am and it showed up about 6:20am even though there were 2 valets just hanging out outside doing nothing.

But, it is a great location, the pool is nice, and from other reviews I have read it seems to be comparatively clean for Miami hotels.
