Stayed from Dec 2 - Dec 6 within a private owner rental unit. Here is the benefit. You are not charged $17 dollars a day for valet parking. The down side is you have to get your own accessories if you run out, I.E. TP, paper towels, dish soap. No hassles with check in and no deposits up and above what your rental cost. The accommodations was clean and all owners on the 4th floor have balconies.

The pool is great with access to the beach. I did not eat at the bar or restaurant, so no rating for this. Easy to get around town. I had a car there, however, public bus runs 24 hours and can get you to anywhere you need to go.

We've stayed at the Casablanca every year since our son (now a teen) was a toddler. Started off as a hotel guest in the hotel rooms and eventually found some condo owners and have rented out condo units since. This place is a gem. Every unit has a kitchenette. It's right on the beach. We watch the sun rise every morning from our room (from our bed!). The pool and beach are both great. They've done a lot to the common areas--the lobby, the restaurant area, etc.--in recent years. It just keeps getting better. But one of the best parts about this place is the neighborhood. You can walk to so many wonderful restaurants and shops (including a strip of Brazilian and Argentine places just a few blocks away), plus Publix supermerket and Walgreen's (open 24/7). The area is way more chill than South Beach but you can still do a lot of stuff outside the Casabllance without a car. And if you want to go to South Beach, you can hop on a bus. There's always a nice mix of people there, too. Two places I highly recommend in the area: Campo Argentine Steakhouse (at 69th & Collins) and Izzy's Cubi-Thai (yes, Cuban/Thai fusion) (around 65th & Collins).

I stayed in the newly remodeled Casablanca Condominium for 1 week. Rooms were large and comfortable. Kitchen was fully furnished. Bed quite confortable.
Walked out the back door to the beach. Close enough to walk to nearby restaurants and supermarkets.
The staff at the front desk was always helpful.
Car was conveniently parked by staff everytime I went in or out. A real plus with all the crowded streets.
Would definitely vacation there again.

I stayed in this hotel about a year ago when on business. I wanted a kitchen because I was staying for a couple of weeks. They were renovating so I got a good deal. I went back at Christmas this year because I liked the peaceful beach and mellow area as compared to the craziness of South Beach. But this location is very close to South Beach for all the fun. I was pleasantly surprised to see what a great face lift this hotel has had. The pool is sparkling, the lobby now pretty with modern furniture. The room I stayed in was clean, nice with a really comfy bed. Not perfect but lovely, sunny and with a huge balcony. I would definitely stay here again.
