"Having been to most of the high end hotel properties in South Beach, Surfcomber easily surpasses all of them for the level of service. Kimpton's influence is obvious. Easily the..."
"Westin Kuala Lumpur, Westin Langkawi and Sheraton Hong Kong to name a few high end hotels, and felt this experience at Surfcomber was up there with the "best". The pool area and..."
"Rarely does a high-end hotel exceed your expectations. At a certain level, you just expect it all. Right? The Tides exceeds its reputation as "The Diva of Ocean Drive." None of the..."
"-You just felt you were staying at a high-end hotel. The guests dressed appropriately. The service is amazing. The decor is elegant.
CONS
-There was only one con. We..."
"We decided to splurge on an expensive hotel (by our standards) as it was our 10th wedding anniversary. The hotel is in a great position just over the road from South Beach. It was..."
"Is a small, classy hotel. Great location, walking distance to a lot of things that we were interested in and we did walk almost everywhere. Thanks to the concierge that arranged our..."
"This is a classy hotel. The reviews are justified. The location is very good - one block from Collins, 2 from the Beach. And therefore a thankful distance from riot of Ocean Drive..."
"Our room was lovely, but we were surprised to find things not quite right for such an expensive rate. Things such as a fridge which didn't fit in to a cupboard, so the door didn't..."
"I went there a few years ago and stayed in another high-end luxury hotel. That was a terrible experience for me. Though the hotel was great and had good customer service, there was..."
"The Setai is a perfectly good high-end hotel. My room in the older section was spacious, with a luxurious ambiance. The pool area and beach are both excellent - but this visit was..."
"I liked this location because it was in the area of high end hotels at South Beach, with a really nice vibe. Walk 10 mins South of this, and its alot louder! As a couple wanting to..."
"Also the service is way below par for a high end hotel. Two times we were told things were going to get done and they never did. To the night manager’s credit they did offer us a..."
"A highly exclusive boutique hotel which has been resurrected from the Palmer House and Tudor Hotels, it is now owned by an Indian Hotelier who seems set on providing a totally..."
"Things you take for granted until you stay in really crabby albeit expensive hotels.
The hotel staff were extremely friendly and very helpful. Henry the Valet was very very nice to..."
"As far as my room was concerned, we went out for an entire day and house keeping still had not made up our beds, I was expecting a little more for a high end hotel...."
"The hotel itself is a classy take on the Art Deco theme for which the Beach is famous. Our final room was very spacious. Unfortunately it was on the busiest corner, and we were..."
"Its not like it was really expensive, but for the price, I wish the room was a little bigger. Next time I come to South Beach, I will stay here.

"Spent about 2 hours in the spa one day, a bargain compared to other high end hotels at 10 bucks and it was very nice. We almost stayed at the Ritz for the same price, but decided..."
"The staff was amazingly accommodating and their friendliness did not feel contrived as it does in some other high end hotels. I think these folks actually enjoy what they do which..."
"This is a high-end hotel, so everything is on the extra-pricey side, which is expected. Sunday brunch was especially pricey, which we learned the hard way but laughed about it..."
"I've stayed at many hotels and outside of super expensive resorts (whom at times fall short on customer service), Sagamore is at the top of my list!!!..."
"You can walk or jog for miles and scope out all the other classy hotels in the area.
The rooms are, I think, all suites with a sitting room with sink, microwave, larger than..."
"ridiculously expensive, even by hotel standards, and the music at the pool was excessively loud. However, we would come back to this hotel for our next trip to South Beach...."
"The hotel is not a 5-star resort with high end rooms that all look the same, but simple nice and had everything that we needed. The breakfast was great and the poolside drinks /..."
"I've stayed in alot of the big name and expensive hotels around the country and I must say that I had the most fun in this one. It was well priced, the restaurant here is fantastic..."
"As I've discovered with other "high end" hotels on Miami beach, they can't seem to completely keep up the posh factor. Things feel a little dated and worn, but I have felt the same..."
"Forgot the overpriced, old and dirty hotels of Ocean Drive or the expensive hotels of Collins Avenue, drive down to SoFi (South of Fifth Street) and stay at the Hilton Bentley...."
"The Palms is in an ideal location on Collins Ave with exclusive beach access. As a hospitality industry executive, I hold hotels to a very high standard. The Palms passed the test..."
"I do appreciate that Miami is an expensive place to visit. It's position on the beach is stunning although I didn't like the lying seaweed on the beach. We visited the beach at Key..."
"The hotels in the area are very expensive, but we found this hotel at a lower price, and it was among the nicest anywhere in north or south beach...."
"found South Beach frankly fairly tacky, this hotel seemed an oasis of, OK pretty expensive, luxury.
It’s also one of the few hotels I’ve stayed at where it’s exactly like the..."
"After staying here for three nights, I would certainly recommend this to anyone looking for a high-end room in South Beach. The pool is great. Room service excellent. Beds, showers..."
"Again, we've stayed many times in "high end" hotels and resorts and never experienced such a low-end value in a purportedly luxurious hotel and been so "nickeled and dimed" before...."
"Beautiful place but outrageously expensive. I loved the place for the amazingly friendly staff, the comfortable rooms, the intimate atmosphere, the beautiful small pools, the quiet..."
"In high season, all Miami hotels get expensive, but the price of a Lords penthouse is pretty modest in comparison to your basic room at an Ocean Drive high-rise...."
"Wonderful location. great staff, very classy hotel. pool was wonderful, complete South Beach experience. There is very easy access to the beach, only steps away. Bathrooms and..."
"No doubt this is a fantastic place if you like funky and exclusive. The staff and the décor are also out of the ordinary -in a nice way. The food is also worth trying and coming..."
"I was so glad that I'd canceled my reservation at the (more expensive) conference hotel and opted for the Blue Moon. The location was right in the middle of the South beach action..."
"The hotel is a nice hotel in an area with lots of expensive hotels, so you will probably pay a lot no matter what. The hotel is a little worn, but overall clean and comfortable..."
"Rooms were a bit small and on the expensive side. I enjoyed the pool area and service there. No wi-fi or room connections was a major drawback, but they did offer a public computer..."
"The hotel is brand new, super clean, great location, very "art deco" style, which made us feel in a high end Miami.
Had an spectacular time at the rooftop. They really help us to..."
"for people watching and the security team do an amazing job at keeping the hotel terrace for the exclusive use of guests. The differing reviews on this site are down to the fact..."
"Mind you, this is a very expensive hotel as is everywhere in MIami Beach. I don't mind paying, but I want to feel like it's worth it....The National is not...."
"However it can get expensive... eventhough price wise it is on the average side compared to other location in the US. We content ourself with an excellent capuccino! We would return..."
"High end, luxury hotel. Hip lobby/lobby bar. Excellent rooms with perhaps the most comfortable bed I've yet to sleep in while staying at a hotel. It's coastal property, so from..."
"So if you are someone who typically stays at high end hotels, you may want to disregard my review because I'm probably less picky! We went through a travel company that gave us a..."
