My stay at Havana 1957 was fantastic! The hotel's location across from the beach and its central position on Ocean Drive offered stunning views of the outdoor bar, pool, and the vibrant South Beach scene. The rooms were great as described, but lacked privacy due to the missing blinds. The service, especially from Pablo and the front desk staff, was top-notch, making me feel welcomed and pampered throughout my visit. The dining experience was decent, with complimentary breakfast options nearby. I enjoyed the lively atmosphere and conveniences of being in the heart of Miami Beach's nightlife.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel.

I couldn't have asked for a better location with the hotel being right in the middle of Ocean Drive South Beach. The rooms were equipped with all the basics needed, such as an iron and hair dryer, making the stay convenient. The service at Breakwater was exceptional, with the staff being professional, engaging, and genuinely helpful. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with limited breakfast options.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. Although the location was superb being right on Ocean Drive, the room on the top floor facing bars and clubs made sleep nearly impossible until 4 am.

The hotel is in a prime area for fun, clean, and offers a nice modern bathroom. It's fantastic if you want to be on the beach and in the middle of all the South Beach action. However, the manager's customer service was disappointing, and the room size may require opting for a bigger suite, which comes at an extra cost of $50 for a rollout bed.
