South Beach Marriott – Posted Feb 25, 2006

Okay
40 year old male with a luxury budget, traveling for leisure

This Marriott benefits from an excellent location at the less crazy southern end of South Beach. This is a good thing, as things are relatively quiet here but you are still very close to the hot action of Miami Beach.

The hotel is a jazzed up version of those relatively small, but colorful properties that help make Miami Beach world-famous. The rooms that face the beach and the Atlantic ocean are usually pricier, so I opted instead for one with a city view. My room on a high floor was nice too, and I had a balcony facing west with superb panoramic views.

The accommodations were comfortable, although I was surprised to encounter a Marriott with such a tropical color scheme in its soft goods. The amenities such as the large bar of soap were also nice. Since the hotel is basically on the beach, it was invigorating to wake up in the morning and take a walk along the beach. For a few moments it really felt like I was enjoying my private stretch of beach alongside my personal oceanfront. The lobby area leads to the outdoor pool and Jacuzzi in the back, again overlooking the beach. There are also some cozy nooks near the pool where you can lounge outside, but in the shade.
