The hotel

Dine at Essensia Restaurant on a Caribbean-style covered terrace to give you that island feeling while savouring gourmet cuisine. You’ll also be able to wake up and enjoy unobstructed floor-to-ceiling panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean from an oceanfront room, or watch the lively and buzzing city life from a city view room.

But the rooms are old and quirky (separate toilet, small bathroom and tiny closet). So if a spacious, elegant and modern room is important to you, this may not be your best choice But if you are not fussy about a fancy room and just want a beautiful place on the beach with a great pool, beach, nicely landscaped grounds and beautiful lobby, the Plans is a good choice.

View was spectacular, clean hotel, absolutely beautiful foliage, peaceful pool deck. Food fantastic, good value. Staff all friendly and helpful. James at the front desk. He remembered our names with a huge friendly smile every time. Was able to accommodate us perfectly for a retreat as a stay-at-home mom of littles with a nice quiet room. Thank you!! Read less

Beautiful landscape, beach, and accommodations. Updated, comfortable and clean. The lobby smells amazing! Beach service and chairs a huge plus. We had excellent service! MERCEDES, our housekeeper, was very thorough and always left a cute folded towel animal! Dinner at Essensia was delicious (but expensive). Cocktails were very good, especially the Passion & Spice. We did yoga twice (complementary 3 or 4 days a week). I had an excellent stay with my sister and niece. Get coffee at Crema Gourmet a few blocks away! Read less

Exceptional service. Airline troubles made it necessary to stay overnight in Miami. Reviews for this hotel were exceptional so we booked hoping to relax in a beautiful space before heading out the next day. James took complete care of us and made sure we had an incredible experience. He was able to see that we were a bit stressed and upgraded our room and give us a couple of complimentary visits to the bar. We appreciate your hospitality, you’ve made a stressful and disappointing situation into a nice little holiday. Read less
