Miami Beach Hotel with Pool

"The negatives: This hotel needs some upgrading. The paint was peeling in the ceiling, the shower was dirty, there was dust on the lights and fixtures, the floors were not clean, there was an extension cord used to plug in a mini fridge, the pole to hang clothes on was broken. The positives: Good location."

"awesome everything was great super recommend it"

"Constant construction drilling noise we heard from room from pool everywhere. No escaping that noise. It was pretty bad. I should have read the reviews. And it looks like that construction will be going on for while unfortunately. "

"Overall clean and enjoyable. The refresh lounge needs a refresh!"

"great vibe"

"Great property and area"

"Great Customer Service by Mike and the team. "

"Excellent vacation! Hotel is lovely, rooms clean and comfortable and the free amenities were a BIG plus (breakfast, beach chairs, umbrella, towels and as much bottled water as you want). The pools were great and this is in the heart of SB on Ocean Drive, right across from beach and beautiful 10 mile bike/walk boardwalk. "

"Our Miami trip itself was wonderful, but unfortunately our experience at Catalina Hotel & Beach Club was extremely disappointing. We stayed in a two queen poolside room from Sunday through Wednesday and ultimately checked out one day early due to several serious cleanliness, maintenance, and safety concerns. When we arrived, the room was not properly cleaned and we even found trash underneath the beds. Several outlets in the room were not functioning and the iron also did not work. The bathroom had a noticeable sewage odor when using the sink, and the room did not include a safe for belongings. There were also concerning safety issues with the room itself. The door had no peephole and no security latch, which made us uncomfortable from a safety standpoint. Basic amenities were lacking as well. We initially had no towels upon arrival and had to locate staff ourselves to obtain them. WiFi was extremely unreliable during the stay. The overall property condition was also disappointing. The elevator was out of service for the entire duration of our stay, hallway carpets were visibly dirty, and the rooftop pool pillows were filthy. Doors throughout the property slam very loudly and the hallways are not soundproof, so noise from staff and other guests was constant. The front desk staff did come to inspect the room after we reported the issues and refunded our resort fee, which we appreciated. We ultimately escalated the matter through Expedia, who refunded the unused night."
