We stayed for 5 nights and played golf , the hotel is close to the beach , restaurants and bars but not in the hectic part , for me it was very good

No parking. Had to spend an additional $80 to park.

Good

Excellent staff and property. Quiet and comfortable. Will definitely go back!

Great area it’s quiet and safe to walk. Close to restaurants and shopping centers. Staff is very friendly and helpful would stay here again.

Beautiful updated modern room. Nice pool area. Parking was not as convenient as had been advertised.

Location is good at 2 blocks away from the beach. With that being said, claiming to be a 4 star hotel and charging a resort fee when there is not even parking available at the hotel and no breakfast at the hotel is unreasonable. Parking nearby is at $60 per night which is not cheap! My other feedback is that the refrigerator at our room was tied to the light switches, so when the lights are off the fridge is off, and one of the lights did not have a switch to turn it off. Unfortunately we discovered this too late so all our food was spoiled (I know, food may not be as important but it can be worse for people that need the refrigerator to conserve medicine).

The good part is that Pestana South Beach is in a good location on a quiet street but near the ocean and main streets of South Beach. I also liked the staff personally and found them to be helpful. When I was there they would get a bit busy with larger groups of airline employees checking in, so that you needed to plan your questions around that. As for the property itself it was just OK - it looks good from the outside and inside it is fairly average, with some of the cabinetry and things like that made out of cheaper materials. The bed was not super comfortable, and they use an unusual style of bedding and sheets. Overall, the place has a bit of a European vibe, which can be good and bad for a hotel. It is nice that the beach chairs/umbrellas are included with the room, though you have to remember to ask for the card and the towel before leaving. It is perhaps a hotel for couples and families, rather than for single people. As I said I liked the staff even if sometimes (maybe my imagination) they seemed a bit "watchful," good for security but perhaps more scrutiny coming and going than your average U.S. hotel. They do have a pool in the inner courtyard which is not bad - though I did not spend a lot of time there.
