The Catalina Hotel & Beach Club

This was a great boutique-style hotel in a perfect location! It's directly across from the beach, and just a couple blocks down from Lincoln Rd. I loved that there were 2 pools and 2 restaurants on site. The staff was fantastic across the board! They offer you a glass of champagne when you check-in, and there's Happy Hour every evening from 5-6 pm with a free cockail of the day. They also provide complimentary towels for the pool and the beacn. The food was great at both restaurants and the service was awesome at the property. My room was a little small, and because I'm petite, I couldn't see out the window to the pool. Also, there was no digital display on my AC unit, so I had to just feel my way to the right temp by pressing the buttons on the device. Outside of that, everything was grea

I stayed at Catalina Hotel – Miami Beach from February 7–10, 2026 and unfortunately experienced multiple serious service, sanitation, and safety issues that were never properly addressed. Upon arrival, I was checked into the wrong room type. After showing proof of my reservation, I was told I would need to contact Expedia before the hotel could correct it. The sliding glass door in room 1 would not lock resulting in me having to find maintenance to fix it (front desk began ignoring my calls). After 30 minutes, maintenance fixed the issue. The floor was visibly sinking (1102), and the Wi-Fi would not work, nor did the room have really any signal which made me feel extremely unsafe. The following day, we were moved to a different building. The second room had several concerning issues: • N

Positive: Free happy hour. Negative: Bathroom door didn’t open completely. Drawers didn’t stay shut. Charged full resort fee even though not all amenities were available. Very small pool

Not worth the money. The rooms are severely old very small that you can barely move and the bathroom is the size of a dorm. Nothing like the photos. No charging ports, no iron, the shower is so old and the parking situation is crazy expensive. There is no benefit to book this hotel. I’ve stayed at lots of hotels over the world and this happen to be the worse one of all. So bad that it’s my actual first review I’ve written. I wouldn’t stay at this hotel again. Two nights cost 671.00 plus parking and 97.00 resort fees. Horrible place. Don’t book here.

My stay was horrible and I will never return. From start to finish I am disappointed. We went to celebrate my late Bestfriend’s birthday and was faced with a horrible experience outside the beach. The desk attendant was rude, told me my bank card was not a real bank card (chime). Not one employee nor booking site advise the elevators were down. We had to walk up several flights of stairs. There was no help with parking. The hotel was dirty, the carpet looked like it hadn’t been cleaned since it opened. The hotel had an odor they tried to mask. The bed sheets and pillows were dirty. The tv had no channels. To top it off I couldn’t speak with management after requesting two days in a row and was given an email to contact which I haven’t received a response or refund from after a week. I do n
