The hotel

Art deco style and relaxed beach vibes is what the Gale South Beach is all about. On one side you've got Collins Avenue, a bustling hubbub of city lights, sights and sounds. On the other is the beach, with the relaxed promenade and white sands leading to the Atlantic Ocean. And at the Gale, you've got an infinity-edge pool to plunge into, a delicious Italian restaurant to eat at, and rooms decorated with the beach and ocean as their inspiration. However you decide to spend your holiday, make it a memorable one at the Gale.

Gret and Ignacio we're always super helpful, and made everything easier. Actually all the personnel was very friendly. The pool at the top was amazing too, and so was the food and location, very close to the beach, shops, and grocery stores.

Excellent service for a fair price! Shout out to the hardest worker at the resort Ignacio!! He seems to be on every floor and outside at all times as if he is the only employee. He helped with luggage and kept my champagne glass full. Even turning on an AC fan while I was sitting in the lobby. This man deserves a raise and a promotion. Thank you… Read more

Perfect location a few yards away from Miami South Beach, super clean and nice flair as soon as you enter the place- the room was huge and decorated with taste - firm and comfortable matress - de luxe sheets - bed lamps - bathroom with large shower and plenty of towels at your disposal large screen TV - everything you need really - a surprisingly good place to stay on South Bech. Rooftop large swimming pool with a staggering view on the Miami skyline. Very easy access to the pool from the room via a separate elevator. Valet parking. What more ? We did not get to try the Italian restaurant adjacent to the hotel entrance as the terrace was too windy and inside too dark.... Read less

This hotel, from the moment we stepped foot in it, was not a very good experience. The check in process was lengthy and the front desk staff was curt, nearly rude. Our room had stained and discolored carpeting, dirty grout, and no phone service. It also faced directly at the neighboring hotels guests window so we were forced out to keep the shade down all weekend for privacy. We also were woken up to an awful drilling noise outside our window every morning. Aldo be advised the room does not come with a microwave or mini fridge. The rooftop bar was never in operation our whole stay which was something we looked forward to. The pool was nice though the 2 person day bed had a giant tear through it making the place seem cheap. We much rather enjoyed our time at the sister hotel across the street where the beach access is granted. The only ice machine accessible was also broken through it the trip. The pro is that it was a good location. I unfortunately can’t think of much else and felt bummed to have traveled across the country and spent my 30th birthday here. Read less

Very solid hotel experience all around. Great shower and bathroom. Amenities are good across the board and beach access is a nice plus. Strong service from multiple staff interactions, particularly the very pleasant and welcoming bellman Danny. Cornelius the front desk agent was being bombarded by guests all by himself but was exceptional under the stress. Throughout our multi night stay he was consistently providing positive, warm service and helping answer our many questions. As someone in hospitality myself and that worked his position in the past, it was clear he is a high performer. He and Danny made the stay great from the moment we stepped in and even offered to help with our bags to the car on the way out. Read less
