Immerse yourself in the spirit of Miami, with a stay at the lively Hotel Breakwater. In the heart of Ocean Drive in the iconic Art Deco district, and just steps from South Beach, you’ll be surrounded by the excitement that’s made Miami famous. Complimentary bicycle rental makes exploring more fun, although it’s just as easy to get around on foot. So, why not head to one of the nearby galleries, or treat yourself to some retail therapy? Cool off in the glass enclosed pool, and be sure to make time for a bite to eat at Ocean’s Ten, where your al fresco meal comes with a side of people watching.

Horrific, badly managed and an absolutely disgusting experience.
Oct 28, 2024Juan M
In 35 years of coming to this incredibly city, we have never experienced such disgusting accommodation and totally incompetent management.
We booked a 4 night mid-week stay at The Hotel Breakwater.
Firstly, this is not as advertised, it is not a boutique hotel and the images of the pool area are misleading. To say that it’s shabby, run down…

The overall experience was fantastic, and I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Miami. Great service, cleanliness, and comfort make it a top choice!

Charged twice

When checking in, our credit card was charged twice. The clerk said the charge did not go through the first time. My phone immediately registered two charges from my bank.

When checking in, our credit card was charged twice. The clerk said the charge did not go through the first time. My phone immediately registered two charges from my bank. I showed the clerk, he said only one would be the final charge. Three days later when checking out, I again showed the clerk we had been charged twice. He claimed his system only showed once and to take it up with my credit card company. Today I received notice from my credit card company that it has been 25 days since they reached out and have not heard a word from the Breakwater. We are not surprised. The Breakwater was difficult to work with from the beginning. We never received email confirmation of reservation, even after several phone calls.

Solid staff, Loud Music in Courtyard, Avoid Room 226
Oct 5, 2024Justin CParis
The good: Staff, location, price.
The bad: Nobody tells you that there is excellent live music in the courtyard nightclub at night. When it’s acoustic, it’s fine, even super fun working in the room knowing that the two sets of windows and heavy drapes will block it out when you want. But after 11 until 1, they play horrible edm, and the windows…

The bad: Nobody tells you that there is excellent live music in the courtyard nightclub at night. When it’s acoustic, it’s fine, even super fun working in the room knowing that the two sets of windows and heavy drapes will block it out when you want. But after 11 until 1, they play horrible edm, and the windows and drapes don’t stand a chance against the bowel rattling bass. And, btw, a gin and tonic in the nightclub is $25, tip included. They offered to move me, but by that time it was 12:30 and not worth the hassle.
The Worse: Room 226. The next morning they moved me and in a rush I dropped my stuff before a looong day of meetings and dinner w a client. When I returned I discovered, no closet to hang my work clothes! Iron but no ironing board! Weird stains on carpet and on the flimsy, not blackout curtains! Saggy bed like they stole the mattress from your grandmother’s mountain cabin. I passed out in bed chuckling feeling like I was being punked. Though I had prepaid three nights, I checked out the next day, happy to eat the $125 to stay elsewhere.
Note to self. Don’t book hotels through since the hotel cannot refund you if there’s an issue (who knows it the Breakwater would have).
