Reviews
Unfortunately, when we arrived, we were told that the lagoon pool was under construction and closed for the season. I was honestly really disappointed because that was the feature that made us choose this resort in the first place.
We were also offered complimentary kayaking through the resort, which sounded great, but we weren’t able to do it due to high tide conditions.
Despite those disappointments, there were still things I really enjoyed about the resort. The infinity pool was open and beautiful, and the private beach access was probably my favorite part of the stay. Miami beaches can often feel crowded and not very clean, but the beach here was peaceful, clean, and relaxing. It felt like a much nicer environment to actually unwind.
The rooms were spacious and clean, and the resort offers plenty of activities. There were jumbo games like Connect Four and Jenga, karaoke, bracelet-making activities, multiple restaurants and bars, a two-story gym, the infinity pool, and of course the private beach.
Overall, while I was disappointed about the lagoon pool being closed, the resort still offered a relaxing experience and plenty of things to do for a short getaway.
First, I want to highlight Kindred, who assisted us during check-in. They were incredibly welcoming, professional, and helpful—answering all our questions, making great suggestions, and really setting the tone for a wonderful stay.
The hotel itself is beautiful, with a modern, stylish feel and very clean common areas. The location is perfect, just steps away from the beach, which made it so easy to go back and forth throughout the day. Our room was surprisingly large, comfortable, and well-appointed, giving us plenty of space to relax.
We also loved the pool area—really nice, well maintained, and a great place to unwind.
Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely return. Special thanks again to Kindred for making our arrival and first impression so positive!

The room is gorgeous and the food very good.
Pricy but worth it.
Lovely experience.
It's situated in a beautiful waterfront setting where you can watch yachts cruise the waterway, while you enjoy your food and drink.
If you'd rather, you can watch various sports on the TVs that line the walls.
The food offerings are mostly appetizers, burgers and pizza, but there are a few other options, like steak and local fresh catch. The BBQ burger was terrific and done to just the temperature I wanted. The lemon martini was tart and delicious.
All of the ingredients were fresh and flavorful. It's definitely worth a try if you're into sports bars.
