We just celebrated our 30th Anniversary at the Breakwater. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay. The furnishings in the room were top of the line and the room was beautifully decorated.Although a bit loud we had a blast, we actually were able to open the windows and dance to the DJ in our...

Totally disappointed. The Good: Great looking, cool hotel. Beautiful rooms and pretty big for SB. The Bad: Very loud music in bar right outside goes until 4:30am and then starts up again about 8:30am. All for staying out late but you can't sleep in here! Went with 21 and 23 year old and it was even too much for them!... More

Staff were friendly and helpful and overall nothing to... More

I loved staying at this hotel. Everyone was extremely friendly and the location was awesome. I had read reviews that people had complaints about noise but I did not experience this. The only negative is I was supposed to get a partial ocean view and did not receive this w/ the deal I purchased.

Location is great (Ocean Drive, close to the beach), but especially on weekends the noise is terrible. You think the party is directly in your room. Rooms are nice and very clean. We booked the room as Hot Deal on booking.com so the value was good. Staff was helpful.

Except for the noise thru the night (which did not affect us, however, it is quite audible) nothing to complain. Maybe pricey, but then so is everything else on Sobe.

This review is just echoing the other reviews that have said the same. The hotel is excellently located in the heart of South Beach, facing the water. We were in and out, just staying 1 night before flying off to the Caribbean, lucky us. Hotel was clean, very trendy and overall well kept. Service was quick and got things accomplished... More
