Delano Hotel

Superfriendly staff. Well cleaned rooms, amazing pool area and tremendous service on beach. The design of the hotel is adorable. Any flies in the soup? Well, the pool menu isn't top notch, but should it be. It surely made our trip to stay at Delano.

I must admit that I have a soft place for light, airy rooms, and that is exactly what I got here. I loved the rooms, I barely wanted to go to bed at night and yet couldn't wait to wake up every morning.

It is South Beach, of course, but I love that the hotel basks in that fact instead of trying to overshadow it. Everything here is what you imagine Jennifer Lopez's life to be: Hot and sexy, yet cool. We were treated as if we were Jennifer and Ben and loved every minute of it. I came home very much in love with the flavor of South Beach and it showed. The service was top notch, so if that's something that has been lacking in your hotel stays, don't worry about it happening here.

This hotel made me feel relaxed: Serenity of the surroundings: garden, lobby, pool. All designed to soothe the spirit.

Too cool. Snooty service, slow valets.

This hotel made me feel secure: Huge bodyguards at the front door, and a definite sense that non-guests didn't belong there.

Overpriced, small rooms, difficult to get a hold of staff on the telephone, lacking a sense of security.
