Cavalier South Beach Hotel

I chose this place because of its location, price and reviews. Our room was small but spotless. The bed was comfortable and the shower was nice. Juan Carlos handled my call as we navigated toward the hotel and he provided a parking suggestion that worked out great. Juan Carlos welcomed us with warmth when we arrived and gave us some dining suggestions. Lester was our waiter at breakfast, very helpful. So hard not to smile as a large iguana walked in between tables and startled some folks. He skeddadled when a lady screamed, lol. Philip checked us out with sincere appreciation for our stay. Whoever is here next week is going to get to experience quite the beach party as they are setting up stages a mile long on the beach. And what a beautiful beach!

It was a great place to stay in the middle of the action. Good food. Great atmosphere. I wish there was a table or counter in the bathroom to put stuff on, a luggage stand and a closet. But besides bad storage I would stay here again. We were here 5 nights so we needed some way to organize all our stuff. Short stay would not have been an issue. But the staff was great. Fridge in the room. Ice available. And right in the heart of the fun. Beach view was very nice.

Positive: Loved the unique character, Hotel emplolyee was fantastic Negative: No hot water early morning was very alarming

My husband and I are well traveled and have stayed at several similar properties on Ocean Drive in South Beach.||The positives: The location is excellent. If you want to be within walking distance of the Versace Mansion, the beach, and many iconic Art Deco properties, this hotel is very well situated. The lobby is tastefully decorated, and we especially enjoyed the festive Christmas décor. Alejandro at the front desk was very welcoming, and we were pleased that he handled our check in.||Our room was clean, and the air conditioning worked well. There were no hangers in the closet, so I recommend bringing your own if you plan to unpack.||Areas for improvement: The walls in this hotel are extremely thin, the thinnest of any hotel I have stayed in. Our room was very close to the lobby, and we

We stayed here for two nights and it was one of the best experiences at a hotel we have ever had. We booked this hotel by mistake, but the first call I made to hotel, Juan made sure he met all our needs and more. It was a pleasure to deal with him. Then we had the pleasure to deal with William, and he also made sure our stay was perfect. The location, the cleanliness, and the staff were incredible. The breakfast was great too! The only downside, was coffee was not available 24 hours because it had to be made by staff when they arrived in the morning and wasn’t ready until 8:15. I suggested that for early morning, a self serving coffee machine be available. We are definitely going back soon.
