Amazing kosher option in Bay Harbor, near Miami
2.5 / 5.0
I stayed many times at branded luxury hotels before but this place tops all of them with having the best friendly, courteous and helpful staff from the front desk all the way down to the cleaning crews and waiters.
5.0 / 5.0
Place was great. Area is really convenient with lots of Kosher restaurants all around. Staff are great.
1.5 / 5.0
Super expensive for an average experience. Other hotel across the street cost 1/3 the price and offers the same type of room and cleaning.
Check in staff were ok, breakfast staff were absolutely disrespectful and rude, check out was fast.
Not worth the cost.

Nice hotel with friendly staff. Breakfast on Saturday was reduced which is surprising as non-Jewish guests. Free amenities such as kayak and SUP. However, the SUP boards where not sufficiently filled with air and the staff instructing us did not seem to be too knowledgable about it. But this is neglectible as we were even surprised to find this free offer. Nice shuttle to the beach where Altair guests get free umbrellas and beach chairs. But not the longest opening hours for the shuttle and the umbrellas and chairs.

The staff was very friendly, accommodating, and down to earth.
The decor was very up to date and the price was very reasonable especially with breakfast being included.
The pool was very clean and well maintained.
The area feels very safe and walkable to shopping and restaurants.

You cannot control the temperature of the room; you have to call the front desk. There is no parking except Vallet…they damaged my car. 1st room the shower head was spraying everywhere, 2nd room the TV didn’t work and had exposed wiring maintenance didn't seem to care someone could get shocked, the 3rd room the deadbolt didn’t work(I gave up at that point). There are gender segregated swimming times in the morning and at night taking 4 hours of swim time opportunities from non-jewish guests. Breakfast is anything but American and is nasty. No coffee, unless you like instant. The roof pool and jacuzzi is pretty awesome, I’ll give them that.

Beautiful hotel overlooking bay, great breakfast. 15 minute walk to beach

The 1 and only drawback is that this hotel serves a cold breakfast only on saturday to celebrate the sabbath day. There should be options for those of other religions but it was a minor setback. Overall a fantastic hotel with great guests and a superior staff

We tried checking in to this property, they showed us 2 different rooms and both were dirty and the carpets were stained really bad that you did not want to remove your shoes. After speaking to the property manager, she indicated that she was not in charge of the cleaning.
Also, after telling us that they would give us our full refund, later found out that they denied. Stay away from this property!

The place is nice and has synagogue with kosher breakfast, great staff
4.0 / 5.0
My room and stay were very nice but should be advertised as hotel catering to the Orthodox Jewish population. Separate swim hours at the pool for men and women and other quirky features that would be off putting for the non-Jewish traveler.

3.0 / 5.0
Property states and highlights key feature as soundproofed rooms, but this is definitely not the case, most if not all rooms I got told have or are connected and those doors including the outward facing ones to the hallway let every single noise through, could very clearly hear every conversation, wouldn't recommend if you're a light sleeper etc

Staff was amazing especially the guy at the front desk very helpful with both our hotel stay and activities

1.0 / 5.0
Awful stay. They don’t have blinds in any room. Rude staff. Separate time slots at the pool for men and women. Woke up and thought it was pouring down outside but it was just another guest taking a shower but it was so loud so you would wake up.
3.0 / 5.0
For the price I thought the hotel was good but the carpet in the room was old and the staff would never answer the phone

Very nice property with pool and gym nice backyard sitting area with lake view
2.5 / 5.0
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay from start to finish at this hotel. It had everything we needed for a nice getaway. The pool was just perfect, the breakfast was scrumptious, and the service and comfort were second to none. The amenities like scooters, kayak, the showers, just made it extra special. Our favorite peak was the private beach with shuttle, chairs and umbrella.
2.5 / 5.0
The staff is so welcoming and friendly. The room was immaculate. It wasn’t the quietest room. There were children running up and down the hallway, no fault of the hotel. Will definitely stay here again.
