The beach area was magnificent! But the outside of the hotel looks low quality. The bathroom feels and looks almost like a prison, the ceiling had black mold and the paint was chipping bad near the a/c unit.

I was disappointed by south beach this time. Wifi was only available in and around room, then had to switch to a iffy one when eating. Alsobif booking by a third party not guaranteed the room you paid for. Probably wouldn't go back

Buyer beware! The place is in disrepair, and could easily be a nice facility. The pictures are NOT indicative of the property; we thought our room would be overlooking the pool, but there is a whole section completely unattached to the main rooms, and that's where we were put. Again..... NOTHING LIKE THE PICTURES!!! The bathroom was gross, room was very old and small, ceiling fan was dirty, and the doors and windows were unsafe. Would not recommend.
