the hotel is located in a very quiet area called bal harbour. It is located at 102street, therefore far away from South Beach activities. You either need a car or a taxi to get anywhere. The hotel was very quiet in the evening. The hotel bar was even empty on a Thursday night, we were the only guests. The area outside of the bar where you can eat and drink was not clean and full of birds sitting on the chairs and tables which immediately gave the touch of unclean area.

Excelent stay with my wife , to get away from modern noise and acceleration;

stayed at this hotel for 5 nights - The hotel itself if very nice and rooms are very comfortable. the food is standard - choice in restaurant could be better.The beach while we were there was full of seaweed and not very clean. The beaches further up the coast are better!! The hotel is a bit of a walk from the Bal Harbour shops though it is a pleasant stroll if you are so inclined. They offer transport to the shops but we found it to be hardly ever available when we needed it!! If its entertainment and fun you are after then One Bal Harbour is not the place - it was absolutely dead while we were there in September. Next time will probably stay in Miami Beach area.

Service - very good service, though the dining options are limited and so is the menu. If you want to have dinner it is better to go out.

Value - yes it is expensive but it is worth it.

Sleep quality - clean and comfortable beds.

cleanliness- everything was clean, modern, and trendy. Beautiful private beach, Clean, spacious pool, the design of the hotel was really good, also you can rent a cabana for $150.
