Our stay at South Beach hotel was truly fantastico. The room with the Ocean/Pool view balcony, is totally worth the extra couple of dollars. The stay was like out of a fairy tale with three sets of French doors going out on to the balcony overlooking the Pacific Ocean. You could here the sound of the ocean all night as a breeze blew in. Breakfast - delicious, and outside - poolside bar. Not a crowded beach. Truly super nice. We could have stayed there a year.
