SLS Hotel South Beach

The SLS South Beach exceeded all our expectations. Having previously stayed in Miami South Beach many times over the years nowhere came anywhere near the level of comfort, service, facilities and enjoyment we experienced at SLS. The location is fantastic being virtually on the beach and within easy walking distance of a wide range of shops, restaurants, bars and clubs. The room was comfortable, stylish and well equipped with a fabulous huge shower, was quiet for sleeping and had an amazing sea view. The two swimming pools were great and had comfortable sun loungers with ample towels provided, though the noise level of the music was at times excessively high. The standard of service provided by members of the Hotel staff in all departments was exceptional. They were all welcoming, courteous, helpful and pro-active, and we were made to feel that we were special guests. The concierge service was first class and no request was too much trouble. The prices of drinks were at the high end of the scale, but we would certainly stay at SLS again.

If you want to go to a daytime pool party I’m sure there’s plenty to choose from. We opted for SLS which is a luxurious hotel, bar & nightclub not too far from Ocean Drive. Typically girls get in for free but if you’re a guy you’re likely going to have to pay a lot. They usually make guys commit to tables (or sun beds) with high minimum spends in order to even get in. It was pretty fun but as you can imagine, no one actually went in the pool – too cool for school! SLS club is also good fun, although on the most recent trip we had a bad experience – the guys struggled to get in without agreeing to a large spend (even though the club was empty) and the bouncers were on a power trip. Very rude.
