+Ve: Hotel rooms are a good size with comfortable beds. Breakfast is excellent with great service, it is busy but they have an effective system in place to get you seated and served no issue. Good location in Miami Beach. Hotel staff are friendly, the downstairs cafe and bar is nice. Hotel gym is clean and well equipped.

-Ve: Hotel pool is very busy and sunbeds are on top of each other. Only disappointment is the daily resort fee charge approx. $56 which covers the use of the hotel facilities, or if it’s not in your hotel booking rate you will be charged this as an addition at check in. The nightly hotel rate should include a total rate which includes using the facilities as standard, for more transparent pricing. In addition if you use the hotel beach loungers you will be charged an additional $38 for an umbrella, or go without. I think this its cheap to charge hotel guest for use of sun umbrella as a hotel guest, especially considering the ‘daily resort fee’ charge.

Any great stay starts with the people, and the people at Loews were exceptional! Shoutouts to Lucy (concierge) and Adriana (check-in) for their generosity and care in helping my wife and me celebrate two very special occasions during our vacation. The grounds were magnificent, our room was comfortable, the pool area was perfect and the food options were just wonderful. We loved the fried brussel sprouts for lunch and the chia and fruit pudding for breakfast. And the location was amazing… easy walks to Espanola Way, our Art Deco tour and anything else we wanted to see and experience in Miami Beach and South Beach. We cannot recommend the Loews enough!!
