Charles United Kingdom

The property is arguably the best on the strip, I’m not sure anything comes near. In rather a tacky (sorry) part of Miami, the Betsy stands out in its elegance and calm. With wonderful food, a private bit of the beach (1 minute away) and two pools (one a rather luxurious 104 degrees, like taking a bath) it also has reading rooms, books to borrow, appears dog friendly and has coffee machines in the room. The valet service, although $45 a night, is helpful, since parking would have been a nightmare. There are also loungers, towels and pool side food to order, which was fantastic.

Jenny United Kingdom

Two pools, meaning a choice based on the business of the hotel. Our room was quiet and luxurious - impressive given the hotel is right on South Beach Incredible location!

Karen United Kingdom

Hotel and restaurant staff were lovely and very helpful. The two pools and the beach area were great, and we loved to watch the sunrise on the rooftop deck.

Samantha United States

Loved the style of this hotel with all the art, the live piano music in the evening and the good vibe. Great location as well and lovely food. The classic suite is spacious with a big bathroom.

The property usually replies within a few days

  • Is there a charge for using beach chairs and facilities

The $40 daily resort fee include two beach lounges chairs, towels, 1 umbrella (from 9 am to 5 pm), WIFI, local calls, daily newspaper (New York Time and Wall Street Journal), yoga (Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 7:30am to 8:30am) and access to our fitness center and welcome drink.
    Asked about: Double Room • Answered on 6 February 2020
  • Hi Do you provide early check in / late check out options? If not can you hold our luggage and can we use the pool etc? Thank you.
    Yes, we do provide early check-in / late check out upon availability. However, if the room is not yet ready we are happy to hold your luggage and you will be able to use all hotel amenities including beach services.
    Answered on 28 January 2021
  • When is the best time to visit your property for the perfect beach holiday?
    The answer is simply all year long! While many guests visit us in the winter months to escape the colder climate back home, Miami in the summer is just as wonderful to visit with exciting events like Swim Week, Miami Classical Musical Festival (we are the host hotel and our guests get to enjoy many classical and opera performances in June and July), Miami Spice and Miami Spa Month.
    Answered on 3 January 2020
  • Which rooms have direct access to the pool?
    Thank you for reaching out. None of the guestrooms have direct access to the pool physically. That being said, our 2 pools are accessible from all guestrooms on property.
    Answered on 1 March 2021
  • Are there any rooms for 2 people that has a balcony with ocean view? Thank you
    Thank you for reaching out. We do have balcony guest rooms, but not in this category with an ocean view.
