My husband and I just spent the weekend in South Beach for the first time, and stayed here at Anglers. This Boutique Resort was the perfect location. Very close (2 blocks) from the beach and Ocean Drive, but tucked enough away that it felt quiet and more low key. The staff was incredibly nice, accommodating and helpful. They even gave us beach bags with towels/water to take to the beach, which we took advantage of every day. We were also able to enjoy an amazing breakfast and evening drinks outside on the gorgeous patios. Our room was a nice size, comfortable beds, and very clean. For anyone looking for a romantic or quieter place to stay, but that is also very close to the heart of South Beach- this is a great option. We will definitely come back!

I stayed here a while ago now but am intending to return within the next few months.
I chose a Tower Duplex King with Terrace & Spa. For the same price for a regular room in most 5 star hotels, here you get a upstairs/downstairs, living room, 2 bathrooms, outside seating area and your own hot tub! Definitely value for money.
After arriving from London around 11pm, we were checked in within 5 minutes and taken to our room. The room was clean and mini bar/snacks fully stocked. Although the bedroom is not massive it more than amply sized considering you get a downstairs and outdoor space.
The jacuzzi and terrace outdoors were also well maintained.
After a great sleep, the shower was powerful and the bathroom was clean. Not what you would call luxury - no bath etc but then I'm not a bath person.
Despite our trip being very much a "chilling out" vacation and us sitting on our terrace for great periods of time, the staff were respectful and waited till we left/asked courteously before they cleaned the room. They replenished anything eaten/drunk and treated the jacuzzi water everyday.
When we asked for anything at the front desk, it was always met with a friendly face. When there was nothing on their room service to suit our taste they offered a few restaurant names and even gave us a couple of pizza/deli takeaway menus! They even alerted us when it was here so we didn't have to wait around. What 5 star would do that?!
Similarly whenever we asked for a taxi it was there within seconds and we were never ripped off.
We only dined in the restaurant once as we were often out exploring around mealtimes.
The main pool was a fair enough size for the size of the hotel. It is overlooked by several rooms so if you're self-conscious or if its busy then probably pick a quieter time. But if you have your own hot tub and an ocean you should survive.
There are obvious reasons why this hotel is a 4 star e.g. no bath, lack of the more extravagant services you would associate with a huge 5 star resort (that to be honest are rarely used). BUT as someone who has only ever stayed at 5 star hotels before and since, this 4 star has beaten the majority hands down. Particularly since I just wanted to relax and not have to deal with the pomp and ceremony the 5 stars place on everything e.g. simply making a dinner reservation. If I was given a choice between a week here or a suite at the Fontainebleau I would still come here.
The area is more "urban" i.e. not in a bubble of a big resort right on the beach. However you only have to walk 1-2 blocks and you're on the beach/at the stores. The area isn't unsafe or unfriendly.
I would definitely recommend this hotel and have. I am coming back this year Anglers, down let me down!

What a nice place in Miami Beach, just off the busy part of South Beach to hit the soft spot between relaxation and action. Nicely appointed rooms with free and working Wifi, a little poolside, sweet restaurant with yummy food and a great jazz brunch. The value added is wonderful service which is rare, no, super rare, in Miami. Kick back and have fun.

If you're looking for something a little different on your trip to Miami, this may be the place. It is a very interesting property; it feels like living in a very fancy apartment complex rather than a hotel. The location is terrific - it's less than 20 mins from Miami airport, and 2 blocks from Ocean Drive, on a main shopping thoroughfare. Nice little heated pool, with the fantastic Lummus Beach a five minute walk away. The huge beds in the very spacious rooms are very, very comfortable and the restaurant is good, with a terrific breakfast. The staff are hugely polite and friendly and want to go the extra mile to make your stay as pleasurable as possible.
