"Great beach, great location"
Perfect location - far enough from the noise of Ocean Drive, but close enough to walk. Also, just a couple blocks from the Lincoln Road mall, which was great for shopping. But best was the beach, just right outside the hotel. Very relaxing weekend!Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Paid for location, but not worth it"
Well, on a trip all through Florida looking at colleges this spring. I decided that I would spend some money and get a really nice hotel in South Beach. This place is not worth the price they charge. We stayed two nights, the first night I was the front room facing Collins. Noise, music, traffic all night, plus you couldn't even open the closet door […] all the way without hitting the bed. I did ask to be moved and I was moved the next day. The room was the same size, but different location and less noise. I could have stayed at a place for $200 less and gotten the same thing. Yes, the beach location is great, but you can get that at multiple lower costs hotels. Not worth it.The breakfast was nice with lots of fresh fruit. The front staff was nice as were the car attendants, but watch out for the additional $35.00/per night fee. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review

"Rock Hard beds & pillows. AWFUL."
The room was TINY. Which would have been fine for the one night we were staying but the bed was by far the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept it. It was a double - not even a queen - and was rock hard. The pillows were even worse. My back and neck were killing me the next day. The walls are also paper thin, I was awoken well before 9am by the […] very loud staff. Also, there is no drink/food service at the pool. I would never have eaten there anyway but no drink service was a bummer. And they don't tell you this upfront but there is a charge to leave your car after 1pm. It's only $10 but sorta annoying after already paying about $30 to park. The location is good but Iwould never in a million years stay here again. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
The pool area right next to Miami beach was wonderful. I swan for an hour on Sunday morning surrounded by palm trees. A lovely morning. I then had delightful breakfast overlooking the pool area. I remember it fondly and would return again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"No sleeping in this hotel!"
Don't get a street-side room!!!! The music from surrounding nightclubs was blaring until 5am! It was impossible to sleep from all the noise. The rooms are small but the bathrooms are even smaller! You have to sit diagonally to fit on the toilet. You can tell the hotel wants to have nice rooms (great beds, Keurig machine, flatscreen tv, etc) but the […] old carpeting and outdated bathrooms makes it hard. The room was not cleaned very well either. The pool area is very nice and the location can't be beat. I would not stay here again though. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Fun and convenient"
The area was very convenient and the pool/beach access was a key selling point. The staff was also amazing.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Can't go wrong here"
Great location - right in front of the beach and close to Lincoln road. Attracts a classy crowd (compared to the 3 star boutique hotels on Collins) and is not noisy. My parents paid for a room w/ a King bed and they only had a smaller one available; they gave them $100 in credit to eat at the hotel (just OK food) and gave them the correct room first […] thing next day. The staff is overall superb! The pool area is very nice and there's also an area with hammocks which is real cozy. There's seating available at the beach but for a price. I liked that they didn't charge a "resort fee", but you can still get towels and wifi. Overall excellent value. The rooms were very clean and fresh. And the breakfast is not amazing but they have a killer croissant and some fresh fruit, so it's pretty good considering it's included in the price (factor that in when you're comparing to other, similar hotels). We almost stayed at the Waldorf Roommate Towers, but I don't think that would have been a good idea since it could be too noisy downstairs since it's on Ocean Drive. I've gone the Hotwire route for cheaper 3-star hotels, but if you can spend a few dollar more go for the gold, go for South Seas! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Close to the Lincoln Mall"
Location Location. The location of the South Seas Hotel made easy to walk to many locations. I felt safe in the area. The hotel is older but all the hotels in the area are the same. The walls are paper thin so it is very noisy. The bed was very hard. Other than that great place to stay.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good location, early check in."
The place was clean and conveniently located we arrived on an early morning flight and we were able to check in early at no additional charge. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was not great but it was free so I can't complain.Genuine Expedia guest review
The hotel is in an excellent location, has a nice beach and pool. The rooms are small and the decoration is sparse. The hotel is good value for the money as long as you can accept utility over beauty.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Good economic option for South Beach"
Lovely pool and direct beach access are key features making this a good option. The hotel rooms are a bit dated but the bedding is nice. Staff was friendly and helpful. Walking distance to Ocean Drive or quick taxi anywhere else.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Overall great hotel for the money"
Hotel staff was friendly and helpful. You have to pay 20 bucks for lawn chairs which sucks. Room was very small but who wants to be inside anywayGenuine Expedia guest review
The hotel staff when we first arrived at the hotel at night was very nice the man and the valet were both very nice. For the price of the room I was expecting a much nicer room. The room looked very outdated and kind of dingy and they told us that we got an upgrade.... which we could not notice. When we went down stairs to have a drink at the bar the […] bartender who was alone both busing tables and serving drinks was very rude and unpleasant to be around. Lastly the lady who checked us out was also very insulting. To sum it all up for the location it was great for everything else it was a complete waste of money.

"Great location but tiny rooms."
Location is fabulous. Pool and adjacent area are nice. The only down side is that the rooms are really tiny. The bathroom is so small the towel rack is on the wall inside the tub/shower!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Perfect location!"
Amazing location! Walking distance to everything and right on the beach!Genuine Expedia guest review
"great location"
I booked this hotel because the price seemed good. When i got there i noticed it was in the center of everything! When you walk out the front door the downtown area is there, which was all accessible by foot. When you go out the back there is a pool and not much farther is the beach. The pool was closed but they offered next door pool for us to use […] with free chair rentals. The hotel was very clean, and all the employees where friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this hotel!!!!! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Loved it!"
Very well located with private access to south beach and near from shops and restaurants. The pool area is amazing, with hammocks, sofas and pool bar! We loved the decoration, very classy! Soundproofing not very good as we could hear people conversation from their room while being in the corridor.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Loved the South Seas and would stay again"
The price of the hotel is very reasonable and the pool and other amenities rivaled that of more expensive hotels. Be rationale, this is not a 4 star hotel. Yes, it may need a new coat of paint, and the room are not the top of the line, but my room was extremely clean, as were the towels, bathroom spaces, and the property was well kept. The staff was […] very nice, friendly, and helpful. No complaints Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
Perfect location. We would definitely stay here again.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Disappointing experience"
Our room must have been near some sort of air unit or water heater unit. When we went into the room and throughout our stay, there was continual noise that the hotel tried to cover up with spa type music playing in the room when we arrived. We had a wall unit air conditioner that didn't work very well. Check in was at 3 but we were unable to get a room […] until 4. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

"Good time , good food"
Had a great time, close to everything.. Food was great , staff was very nice and accommodating , pool chair mats could use replacing... Other tan that... Loved it!!!Genuine Expedia guest review
"Great Location, Nice staff, ok for the money"
The hotel staff was very accomodating...from the frony desk, to the baggage person to the maids...the resturant in this hotel is exellent. The food is great, bery surprising. The waitress and cook are very nice. The person at the towels was very nice as well. The hotel is old and worn, it is has been painted. The beach access is outstanding. However, […] when we were there they were doing a beach renovation project that had a very load machine running all day. not the hotels fault. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Great hotel for a family and not too expensive."
Hotel is in a great location. The pool was good as well as the access to the beach. Room was ok but the bathroom was too small. The variety of food in the buffet breakfast should be improved. Price of the hotel should be lower. We had to wait a long time to get back the car from the valet parking.Genuine Expedia guest review

Everything was just okay. The hotel is very old but fairly well kept. Unfortunately our view was of an alley with garbage bins and parking is 29.00 a day. The hotel staff is very nice and helpful.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"I would recommend this hotel"
South Seas was a very pleasant stay, the staff was very hospitable as well as the maintenance. The only thing I think is that they should be more informative about the benefits and any other services available to the guests instead of finding out later during your stay.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice location on water - poor upkeep"
The hotel was in a nice location with direct access to the beach, and only a 3/4 block walk to the convention center, but the quality of the hotel was very poor. Lobby was not welcoming, elevator is tiny, dark, and smells, and room - was not attractive or welcome feeling. Also had small wet spots on carpet, and when woke up in the morning floor was […] even wetter. There are many options of hotels on same block for same price, so I will try a different hotel next time. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"good location"
on arrival sraff were polite abd helpful, rooms were clean and comfortable pool was good and a gate took tou straight onto the south beach which was excellent. the hotel was ideally situated within miami. closeby were shops and restaurants. a 10 minute walk would take you to a more upbeat night life . overall a very good experienceGenuine Expedia guest review
"Not bad stay on south beach"
The location is good to shopping,restaurants and bars, convenient access to beach. Breakfast is ok, WiFi in room is so weak, which is almost useless. Room equipment and condition needs to be upgraded. One thing I hate is the hotel price showed on the Expidia is not high, when I placed my order on line, at the last minutes, they charged me extra service […] fee. As a customer, I have right to know it at first. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Miami beach"
Best things about this hotel: location. It is within walking distance to restaurants and shops. Also, there is a pool downstairs and located within walking distance to the beach. Also the breakfast provided is decent. However, the room was small and did not include usual amenities like a fridge or coffee maker or even access to a microwave. This is […] important when traveling with a family because we couldn't even keep bottles of water in the fridge. Plus, it is very noisy. The rooms are overpriced given that the hotel is old. I needed a new comforter and was given sheets until the next day. Then when I was finally given a comforter the next day I only received the comforter without the cover.

"Excellent hotel."
Every single person.. (front desk, housekeeping, valet attendent, security guard, porter..ect.) was friendly and helpful. Hotel was clean and housekeeping did a great job. We really enjoyed our stay here and look forward to returning.Genuine Expedia guest review
"A bland experience.."
This was a girls' little getaway, and I decided to pay a little more at the South Seas for the "European" buffet breakfast they offered. I had better breakfast at a Best Western (portions fit for an American and I'm only 5'3" and 108 lbs). The hallways had a very damp mildew odor (probably the unfortunate consequence of the humid weather). What was […] additionally disappointing were the charges for the beach chairs ($20 for 2) and umbrella ($15). I have stayed at other hotels where the beach chairs and umbrella was comped..

"Good value, clean and close to everything"
Great location and a good value, right in the middle of the action. Rooms on the small side but clean. Beds are comfy with nice linens Could use more drawer space, and a mini frig would be nice. Has a very nice, clean, large pool with nice water temperature, ample chaise lounges, towel shack and chilled water available. Daily breakfast included near […] the pool. Great beach access and free wi-fi. Overall a would recommend if you're looking for a place that doesn't break the bank, that is clean and convenient walking distance to shopping and restaurants. A word of advice if you're coming to South Beach, do NOT rent a car at the airport, take a cab. There is only limited municipal parking and no hotel parking. If you want to drive one day, the rental car company a few blocks north will bring your car to the hotel and give you a ride home or you can make arrangements to drop off and either walk or take a cab back to hotel.

"Very good 3 stars hotel"
My wife and son (6 months) had an excellent time at the swimming pool. Very convenient. Access to the beach was a plus. The room was ok. The two beds were clean and comfortable, but small bathroom and dusty areas/corners that were clearly visible. My 4 other friends shared one room. They had the same comments. We were pleased by the staff, all very […] polite. Vallet is expensive ($29/day) but no other choice around. Breakfast is a nice and large buffet. I would say this hotel is a very good 3 stars hotel located perfectly near famous areas of Miami beach (ocean drive, Lincoln road). Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
A little small but overall a nice room. The valet parking was very slow and after 45 minutes of waiting, I had to take a taxi to get to my meeting. Other than that, it was a pleasent stay.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"Awesome stay at the South Seas!"
I've been staying at the South Seas for years. Each time I visit it's like a homecoming. Most of the employees have been working at the South Seas for years. I love how they always remember me and ask about my daughter. They make me feel like family. My room was ready at check-in and it was spotless. It was so lovely walking into my room and nature […] sounds were playing from the radio. I also love the orchid. Such nice special touches. Housekeeping did an outstanding job and they were so kind, friendly and helpful. I really look forward to the morning breakfast that is complimentary. The staff does an excellent job and they always have a smile for you! I love the little touches that were added: more hammocks, water by the pool, cabanas, new pool lounge chairs and pillows. Thank you for a much needed awesome and relaxing getaway!! I will be back very soon! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
