Cons: The walls are paper thin and you can hear guest in other rooms all around. Guests in the halls can get noisy and those sounds come through pretty clearly.

Pros: Walkable to restaurants, clubs or the beach.

Pros: The staff was amazing. The only thing that bothered me was the internet was not working.

Pros: Lovely accommodations, excellent customer service, beach, shopping, restaurants, good recommendations for dining

Cons: Crazy spring break activity- couldn't relax and enjoy a glass of wine at cafe due to nightlife, traffic was a bear when I arrived but handled well by concierge and valet

Pros: Service, comfort, style, pool, location, this place was top notch in every way.

Pros: Location, Pool and the enviroment.

Cons: The walls are too thin you should stay on the third floor

Pros: Room design

Cons: Swimming pool

Pros: For the price I paid this was the best value hotel I have ever stayed in. Staff was fully flexible and attentive to my needs and knew the excellent surroundings of the hotel. You could actually have a meaningful conversation with the dude caring your luggage. Room was big and with many good practical and esthetic genius details.

Cons: On a hotel this class you will normally have a complementary bottle of water. But beside this I can't put one single finger...

Pros: the rooftop pool, the view from the pool,the additional beach beds and towels

Cons: only breakfast a la carte

Pros: could not fault the house keeping, very clean. Excellent location and friendly staff.

Cons: the bar downstairs did not have a great atmosphere. (the weather for us was not warm enough to be at the bar on the roof top- which is fab), but the downstairs bar lacked appeal.

Pros: Great location, lovely hotel especially the rooftop pool. Cocktail bar and catering brilliant. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Pros: Everything. Super hotel with quality staff. The rooftop pool and bar were excellent, the room was superb and our whole experience something to remember.

Pros: The location on South Beach could not possibly have been better. The staff was amazing and the view from the pool is as advertised.

Cons: The minibar in my room was never replenished, even after multiple requests and promises to rectify were made. The rooms are small. I was upgraded to a 'larger' room upon check-in and after settling in my room, I can't imagine how small the normal rooms are. I actually had no problem with the room size but anyone choosing this property needs to be aware of this in case room size matters (if it does, choose another hotel!)

Pros: Great location, walking distance to beach.

Cons: Valet parking is very convenient, but expensive.

Pros: I had the worst experience in riveria south hotel . It was overal very bad experience . Comfort was zero in the room

Cons: I didn't like the hotel overall . It was pathatic

Pros: The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the location near the beach was great. There is a convenience store 2 minutes from the hotel where you can buy food/drinks on the cheap.

Cons: The music from the bar started early and ended late. In the third building, it was very noticeable. One of the beds was noticeably more comfortable than the other. Different mattresses. The wifi signal was terrible. It went in and out and the connection was extremely slow.

Pros: ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ! !!

Cons: EVERYTHING WAS WRONG!! IMPOSSIBLE TO CHECK IN.. LITERALLY ..WOULDN'T REFUND MY MONEY EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T STAY THERE. STAFF AND MANAGEMENT WEREN'T HELPFUL. TRIED TO CHARGE ME TWICE... NEVER EVER USE THIS SITE OR STAY AT THIS HOTEL.. HAD TO CUT TRIP SHORT BECAUSE OF ALL THE HASSLE !! STAY AWAY

Pros: Nothing

Cons: No facilities in room - no tea, coffee Room - the size of shoe box Rudest staff in the world

Pros: My family and I felt very welcome. They were very very friendly & helpful! I highly recommended this hotel.

Pros: Very Nice and clean Happy nightly with free drinks.

Cons: Restaurant prices were extremely expensive.

Cons: There was a roach running around as we entered the room. I guess you can say, it was a surprise being welcomed by a roach. The room was tiny with a separate bathroom sink right next to the bed. Parking is horrible. Customer service is not that great. So we ended up saying forget it and checking out early to stay at double tree.

Pros: SOME of the staff were very kind. Almost kind enough to make up for the two people who had terrible attitudes when faced with an actual customer service situation prior to them. First impression is everything. The bed was actually quite comfortable.

Cons: The hotel signage is terrible for a place that makes that much money and is located on south beach. Why is that an issue here? There are multiple buildings with no parking anywhere around them and surrounded by a difficult two-lane road. The building that has the more obvious sign (shown in the picture) isn't even the building you check in at, or will likely stay. When I called trying to get assistance, the woman on the phone had a one inch fuse before I could hear her try to pass me off to somebody. She thought she was muffling the phone well enough but I could hear her telling the gentleman there how stupid I must be. They kept insisting there was a man outside, which there was nobody anywhere and she kept giving me terrible directions leading me in circles around there building as I tried to avoid letting the cars line up behind me. Finally, a gentleman I could only assume was the one she was speaking to came out and frankly spoke to me like I must be an idiot, pointing at the building aggressively yelling "Do you not see that black and white sign we are telling you about? Just use your eyes and look. This is the riviera!" in a tone that suggested I'm a child who has been crying in the back seat of his car for an hour. I didn't even feel up to letting him know they don't know left from right and he was pointing at the complete opposite of where they were guiding me on the phone. It then turned out my only option for parking was to pay $40 a night for valet. Only other option is a nearby garage for $35 a night. That is the ONLY parking option if you are driving; so budget for it. There is also a $20 hotel fee added as well. I thought the hotel fee was... Well, the rate. I had never been so frustrated by a hotel before actually even getting checked in. When expressing my discontent to the gentleman checking me in, he said he would give me a better room, which meant a room with more space and an obstacle course to the phone I needed to get to so I could ask why he though that I (checking in alone on a business trip) needed to trade the one king size bed I reserved for two smaller beds. They finally put me in the room I reserved and the bed was great besides my pillows smelling like wet towels. Let me tell you, the views of the destroyed and dilapidated buildings that just about every window comes with were great. They give you two iPod radios that have first generation plugs, so don't expect to listen to music on them. The tv had no hdmi plug to let you supplement their terrible basic cable package. Half the channels on their directory didn't work. But the fridge was stocked with overprice booze. I felt like I wasted my money and could have paid half as much for twice the experience almost anywhere else. Are there worse places? Obviously. But I would never recommend this hotel to anybody. If I was on vacation and not business, my trip would have been ruined by how short they fell of how decent they look online.

Pros: Excelent staff very kindfull, excelent rooms, good cleanliness, great with kids.

Pros: The staff before christmas were extremely helpful and very accommodating

Cons: The staff after christmas were negligible, rude, obnoxious and unhelpful.

Pros: Close to the convention center Private balcony Contemporary room styling

Cons: Here's my list: -No ice machines...I had to go to the bar in my pajamas to get ice -Took over 30 minutes to check in -No one helped us with our bags even though they force you to pay $35 a day to value -Everyone seems to ignore you unless you directly speak to them -Air Conditioner was broken and they fixed the day we left...over 90 deg on SOBE! This left a wet, slippery film over the floor -Not very safe...anyone can walk into the side entrance of the hotel (there is no door whatsoever) and have access to the rooms -No room service even though there is a restaurant attached to the hotel -The beds were DEFINITELY not Tempurpedic as advertised; it is a cheap knockoff -I wouldn't stay here again unless I had to

Cons: I was injured at the hotel and the staff was rude and unhelpful. I was most surprised at the at the poor attitude of the assistant general manger. I would never stay at this hotel again.

Pros: Friendly personels, quiet, very good location, a lot of space

Cons: Missing light in the wardrobes

Pros: Doormen were excellent. Close to the beach with free beach chairs.

Cons: Housekeeping is very poor because they do not understand a word of English. The wall is too thin. Could not sleep because of the TV noise next door. Reception may not be efficient; was charged different rates. Had to pay extra for the taxi because of the poor response when checking-out. No prior response to my mail sent asking as to how to get on the free shuttle-bus from the airport.

Pros: Staff friendly and helpful, very comfortable and stylish suites with excellent and good quality facilities, lots of space, great location - easy walking distance to Ocean Drive. Poolside breakfast is sufficient, Free shuttle bus to the airport is a nice touch. I will definitely stay here again, much better than the last hotel I used in Miami.

Cons: Rooms are very very dark, a torch would be useful to find things in your suitcase. Note that a hotel surcharge/tax of $15/day (per suite) is billed in addition to the figure quoted on booking.com

Pros: This was a beautiful hotel with lavish furnishings. Great use is made of the space especially the pool area. The staff were great and added to the experience.

Pros: Excellent !

Pros: The Rooms were funky and very spacious.The pool area was cool - not a massive pool - but enough to swim about and cool off. The cabanas and sofas around the pool were nice.

Cons: No where decent or cheaper than the $30 valet parking. They should have an option for reduced parking. There are some mulit storey car parks about half way down collins (near the Chesterfield hotel) that parking is $20 per 24 hours.

Pros: Absolutely wonderful for its price and what it has to offer

Pros: Good sized and well furnished rooms, with art deco style. Friendly, helpful staff, good location for beach access and Lincoln Road shops

Cons: A good stay, and decent value with a discount, but the hotel needs to be more on top of the maintenance: e.g. we had problems with the shower tap and temperature in our room and there was a rather basic breakfast on disposable tableware by a pool that wasn't cleaned during our stay.

Pros: design, big rooms, friendly personal, near to the beach, near to the shopping center, services like: airportshuttle, cool water at the pool, towels for the beach, cocktails at the catalina, delivery-service from the catalina restaurant

Cons: no bar, the cleaning personal only speaks spanish but no english, the breakfast could have more choices than marmelade and cream cheese

Pros: The breakfast is really nice and marissa was really welcoming and made us feel really good

Pros: The staff was wonderful and accommodating. The complimentary breakfast was a nice touch, as well as the beach chairs and towels. The location is perfect.

Cons: The only thing we could think of was the bathroom door in our room - it was made of lightly frosted glass that left little to the imagination when anyone was using it!

Pros: Everyone is accommodating

Pros: Location, friendly staff

Cons: 2 domestic bottle beers $20.00 and they automatically charged gratuity of $3.00 to take the tops off the bottles. Ate at the curbside restaurant in front of the hotel. I had bacon, scrambled eggs and oatmeal and my wife had salmon omelette and we both had a beer and the bill was $85.00 I live in Vegas and those are higher than Bellagio prices and Bellagio is a palace fit for a king compared to this place.

Pros: We wanted to experience the life style of south beach and thought that the Beacon would give us this opportunity. We had a great time and the hotel is located right were all the action is during the day and night. The art deco buildings and inside deco just made our two night visit the best ever.

Cons: knowing that the hotels back in the day had small rooms, narrow hallways and a small lobby just added to our enjoyment of stay at the Beacon. Even though some of the reviews made negative comments about this we loved every moment we spent at the hotel and time on South Beach. We liked everything.....

Pros: The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was small but very clean and comfortable. The hotel exceeded my expectations.

Cons: No complaints at all!

Pros: Location

Pros: We stayed here for a hen weekend and the staff were fantastic. I've yet to find a hotel who are as helpful cheerful and accomodating. Sabine in My Thai looked after a huge group of us and was extremely professional and organised as well as really good fun! The food they served was delicious and presented well.Youshf at the front desk was really pleasent and helped keep me calm considering how big our group was and also looked after our belongings which we practically dumped on him!..and to Nigel the duty manager who was also very good to us Everything we asked for was dealt with in such a professional manner. Considering there were 30 girls not one of them had a bad word to say about The Beacon- we were all blown away

Cons: Not a thing was wrong with the Beacon.In fact my mum and my sisters hope to come back for a nite in December! Oh and Bernadette in reservations was a lifesaver and handled an extremely difficult task of sorting out our rooms! Thankyou!!!!

Pros: the location is excellent, it is across the street from the beach. The front desk staff was very helpful.

Cons: I had a room with a king bed and I had very little space to move around the bed. The room is extremely small. Valet parkin is very slow. You have to call for your car at least 30mins in advance.

Pros: Proximity to the beach, Ocean Drive night life and shopping

Cons: Almost all staff were excellent and fiendly. One was not.

Pros: Staff were very accomodating and changed our room after our first night(at our request due to noise),great location,hip and trendy hotel. Would stay there again and strongly recommend it for anyone. They even provide you with beach towels, which was great as I'd forgot ours!

Cons: Noisy doors, but have already had response to my feedback comment card and these are currently due to be replaced. This was only minor though as everything else was great and it would not put me off recommending it

Pros: The location was excellent and the room was nice & bright.

Cons: The hotel is refurbished nicely, although the finishing is a bit rough. Also, we were located on the backside of the hotel where the view was not so nice (backstreet alley), but then again: we only went to the hotel to have some sleep after a night on Ocean Drive... ;-)

Pros: Close to the ocean

Cons: The wireless network access did not work

Pros: the hotel staff and location

Cons: the very tiny bathrooms and we asked for an ocean view but could not see it!

Pros: Location! Loved how close I was to everything I wanted to see and experience.

Cons: I didn't appreciate the size of the bathrooms especially the toilet area. I did not appreciate the fact that there is no parking or even a discount through the hotel. The decor can use an upgrade.

Pros: Such a great location and a nice looking botique hotel.

Cons: But everything is ruined when the house keeping staff wakes up guests at 8 am by chattering to each other loudly in the halls waking me up 3 times before 9am. I'm the guest so your staffs behavior should not impact my experience. Yes you are a botique hotel so you should scale your service accordingly and know your staffs conversations carry through the entire floor. Don't stay here!!!!

Pros: The pool, the service and the outdoor restaurant area.

Pros: Everything! Rooms were very clean and well kept. Everyone working there was so nice and helpful. Great place to stay when you want some peace and quiet in Miami beach.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: Everything about from excellent Staff to a location and amenities

Cons: Time of the hotel close the access to a jacuzzi to early

Pros: The location was convenient but in all other ways this felt like a run-down motel in desperate need of renovation.

Cons: The room was extremely small. The A/C barely worked. The bathroom was old and run down. This place is depicted as a cute boutique hotel, but it’s not. It’s a run down motel in need of a total guy renovation.
