We stayed here for a few days in early August. Hotel was more than adequate and great value. Great location for the beach, Lincoln road etc. Pool area nice with plenty of sun beds. Good food in the pool bar area, great Cuban sandwich!!
Would recommend and stay again.

Room tip: Our room was ground floor so cant really comment on the other rooms. I suspect there are some great views to be had if you are higher up?

I have stayed at a number of hotels in this area of South Beach. There are some pluses (and a few minuses) to South Seas depending on your needs. The location is great. It is on the beach side and right near Lincoln Road, etc.... The price is much lower than that its neighbors (Marseilles, Richmond, The National, Delano, SLS, etc...). The pool and bar area is very nice (and family friendly if that is what you want) but lacks the wow factor of the nearby hotels. The beach chairs and umbrellas are also included in you stay but are again, of a lower grade than than the neighbors. Check in was a bit difficult because they wouldn't let me park my car for 10 minutes in one the check in spots (probably because I didn't want to valet). My room had a great view (top floor) but the bathroom was very small and dated (but very clean). Breakfast buffet is included but if you are looking for something more "South Beach", go next door and get breakfast at the Social Club. Overall, if you can't afford the luxury spots but want to be in the middle of it all, this hotel provides a good alternative.

Simple hotel but with direct access to the beach. They offer complimentary breakfast, but it's not worth it. Small room, and very cramped bathroom. Old hotel in need of renovation. I really don’t want to be back on this hotel.

Customer service at the front desk and the ladies that set up the breakfast have a bad attitude. Breakfast look very good but, was so cold. I could not eat it. Because of this I decided to get a small plate of warm oatmeal to my room, the young girl stopped because I was taking a Spoon, I asked her for a plastic spoon, she was willing to get it for me, and the older lady walked in and said don't bring her anything. My husband looked at her and she keep stirring at him with an attitude. He said why you are looking at me like that, the lady got so upset she lithely starting arguing with my husband in front of everyone and was loud. I walked away and complaint to the front desk and the Gentlemen just asked me for my room number and went I walked away towards the elevator he started laughing with the other front desk young girl. On Sunday we wanted to watch the Soccer Game, I got to the breakfast area the ladies were finishing the cleaning and I asked for the remote control, they didn't want to tell me. I asked a Guy that was standing there and he said go to the bar outside to see if the lady will put the game on and volume. They were so upset just because we seat there to watch the game. The bathroom ceiling had mold. There is no parking, the only option is Valet parking for a fee of $35.00 per day. Something they never mentioned when I made the reservation. After all the money spend including parking, we could have paid $80.00 extra per night and go to the Loews hotel down the street on the beach and the place is amazing and superb customer service. At this hotel employees treat you like they are doing you a favor. I I do not recommend this place.

Room tip: Stay away from this place

We have stayed at this hotel twice now. The hotel is mid-range in a traditional And Deco building so rooms are fairly small with small bathrooms, but whilst rooms are basic they are fine for a visit to South Beach. This hotel backs onto the beach with a lovely well kept pool area with plenty of comfortable sun loungers and towels to avail of. You access the beach at the back through a lovely shaded palm tree area with hammocks to relax on. Breakfast is ok however could be better, with one choice of cereal - Cheerios - which is a poor and unhealthy choice for those that only want to eat cereal, so I brought my own instead. That being the only real complaint, the hotel is reasonably priced for the area and I would definitely stay here again as love the location.

Room tip: Front rooms can be noisy as they are on the street
