Beautifully renovated. The decor is very chic and tasteful. Shoutout to friendly pool staff. Reception was also helpful. The rates during our stay were crazy expensive but that’s Miami in high season for you. I loved the thick comfy pool chairs and the relaxing (non party) vibes. Food was also great. Also they are super dog friendly which was amazing. My only gripe is the windows in the rooms feel like hospital windows, a relic they kept and refurbished instead of replacing with something more modern. Ruins the expensiveness of the rest of the room. But great stay regardless.
