“Great staff, upgrade the rooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 6, 2013

We recently stayed for 8 nights at Sole'. The staff was exceptional--friendly and eager to please at every turn. A few individuals deserve special mention for their service and hospitality: Sandy at the front desk, Paul the bellman, Paul the restaurant manager, and Meridith the restaurant's assistant manager. An unexpected surprise was the quality of the restaurant--recently opened, and the service and food were excellent. Sitting on the terrace for dinner overlooking the moonlit Atlantic was THE highlight of our trip.

The room amenities and decor, however, were not up to the standards of the rest of the hotel. Sparsely furnished and decorated, it looks like they were hoping someone would come in and finish the job.

Overall, we were very pleased. If the ownership is willing to take the next step to refurbish the rooms, I would definitely rate this five stars. We enjoyed our stay and would return.

Room Tip: Watch out for "city view". A closet!

“Amazing Service at Sole on the Ocean”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 4, 2013

We decided to book a last minute trip to Miami and stood at Sole based on the positive reviews. We were not disappointed. The hotel is beautiful and nestled in such beautiful surroundings. My husband and I were treated well by all, but Sandy went above and beyond for us. He made us feel welcome and ensured that we will be back next year. Beautiful beach, beautiful rooms, beautiful service.

What a great spot! The staff was wonderful and so helpful, giving us great recommendations and making sure that we always had whatever we needed. The vibe is incredibly mellow and relaxing, too. Sandy was particularly welcoming and lovely. He really made us feel at home.

“A great second trip to Miami...look forward to #3”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 4, 2013

I had to come to Miami kind of last minute for business. Last minute trip. Business. Miami. The only good thing about that equation was Miami....at least until I checked into Sole! A local friend suggested I check it out. She knows I can be kind of picky since I work in the restaurant industry and I've been fortunate to stay in some great places over the years. For a fairly new establishment I have to say I was quite impressed. The room was lovely. It didn't feel overly "scene" which was great because there's nothing more depressing than being in a place as fun as Miami (on business) only to be reminded that you are not part of the fun. A special thank you to the staff at the front - especially Sanford. The most dreadful part of work travel for me is always the check in, and he made it super easy. He was also a great help in recommending some places I could take my local client and seem like I really know what's going on in Miami.

“Great Beach Hotel!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 3, 2013

Feels like Miami Beach without all of the chaos. Restaurant just opened, and seems like it will be a great addition. Great beach, great pool area. Rooms are very nice with awesome views and have all the amenities you would be looking for.
