Great location.. hotel is little old thats why rooms are small and sometime we experienced some oder. Managements can do something (like music) to make pool place more happening.. pool is great and bar is good.. free breakfast is icing on the cake but they can add some more items in the menu. nice place to stay during holiday season. I gave 4 star and I will look forward to stay here again.
Comfortable room size, clean and adequate bedding in an older building good food, full bar and friendly staff. Would have given this four stars but for the FANTASTIC LOCATION!!!
A hidden nook with private gate access privides hammock space, lovely pools and palm trees between beach walk and main street.highly recommemd!
Nice place to stay I really like the people there. Natalie, Maggie in fact everybody at the bar at the bar are great folks. I give them a five star rating. Foods good to too.
Nice location easy to get around will be back.
We usually just spend the day here, enjoying the pool, the proximity to the beach, and the fantastic food!! Try the Mezze Platter or the guacamole with freshly-made giant tortilla chips. Great breakfast buffet for $9 if you're not a guest. Super friendly service. Lots of people from other countries and everyone speaks Spanish. Try it!!
My husband and I stayed 2 nights at South Seas Hotel. The location is great, we were able to walk to Ocean Dr., Lincoln Rd., and other attractions with no problem. The lobby, and pool area looks amazing, but the buck stops there. Once we pass the front desk we were greeted by musty old halls and small battered elevators. The carpet through out the hotel was old and I am sure aided in the corroded smelling hallways. Our room appeared clean upon entering, but stuffy with a noisy A/C unit that did not work properly. Breakfast was included in the stay. I was a little grossed out by the dirty chafing dishes and silverware, along with the dry potatoes and sausage. We decided to definitely skip breakfast the next day. The bar/restaurant is open until 10pm, but ordering a drink at 8pm was difficult with no staff in the bar area to help me. I returned to the bar a hour later at 9pm only to see that the bar was shut down. Upon check out I was greeted by a rude front desk agent who accused me and my husband of smoking in the room. Neither me nor my husband are smokers of any sort. The front desk agent proceeded to call the manager to the front desk. He also accused us of smoking in the room due to the smell in the hall, which got my husband a little upset. My husband explained to the manager that we are not smokers and that the halls are holding a massive amount of odors. The front desk agent proceeded to ask the manager what steps he wanted her to take next and he told her to "do nothing". The front desk agent continued the check out process by charging me for 2 nights of resort fees (Resort?.really?), while I was informed during check in that I would receive my full deposit back during check out. She showed me a form that stated the resort fees, and then proceeded to show me the form that states no smoking in the room, pointed at the paragraph and said " I guess you did not read the statement about no smoking in the rooms as well". I was extremely insulted and have never been treated in this manner by a front desk agent that job is to present great customer service. Miami was great, but this place left a bad taste in my mouth. Avoid this hotel if possible. All That Glitter, Is Not Gold!
Stayed here 5 nights. Everyone was super friendly and we loved our hotel room with the ocean view. Breakfast was good with a nice selection. Pool/bar staff were awesome and made great drinks!! Would definitely come back again 😎
worst hotel ever. Full of roaches and bed bugs. pictures online are very misleading, the hotel is very outdated. And they over charged us. the staffs are extremely rude. The hotel looks nothing like you see in the pictures online. I uploaded a couple of pics of the bed bugs.
Don't stay here! I gave the review 2 stars only because of the location. Great location and walking distance to a lot of places. Leave the hotel and you are on the beach and the pool was great. Hammocks in the back were very relaxing. Breakfast is decent for being complimentary. The staff could be nicer.
The pictures on the website is very misleading. The Hotel is outdated. The room was decent. We figured we would make the best of it seeing that we were only going to be sleeping in the hotel and be out most of the day. There aren't enough outlets to charge our cell phones. Towels by the pool were stained. There were these wings on the windowsill, we weren't sure what they were until our second night as we walked in from a great night on the town, we walk in to roaches all over the desk. GROSS!!! We complain to the night guard and he changed our room right away. As we walked into the new room we can already tell it's cleaner. The next morning we spoke to the manager and she has this dumbfounded look like she wasn't sure why we were complaining. She told us "Anywhere you go in Miami you are going to find roaches!" Really? She never apologized for the inconvenience. We did speak to her manager that afternoon and he at least apologized.
Located in South Miami, South seas was an awesome stay right on the beach. We ate at the restaurant and bar where the service was awesome and so were the drinks! I would definitely stay here again
Bad things - Bar with really bad service at night time, rooms facing dumpster at sides and quite old. Good things - by the beach, swimming pool area and breakfast
The location is great- next to the beach, and walking distance to food and stores. The view from the window- the wall of other hotel. Rooms are not spacious. Our room was cleaned only once in 5 days, although we asked for cleaning service. Breakfast was ok. We liked the hammock area located between pool and the beach. Pool is good size for kids to play.
