Avalon Hotel

Great (if not the best) place to stay and play in South Beach. It´s obviously an iconic hotel/building and the Staff is really friendly and supportive. We have nothing to complain. The included breakfast is ok. They offer croissants, muffins, toast, jam, a nice joghurt where you can take oranges, apples making it nice. Filter-Coffee, tea and water is also included. We´ve been with our 2 kids (10/16) and they enjoyed everything. Also the restaurant is highly recommended but pricy. We paid for the 4 of us (2 adults with 2 kids) 370$ and we didn´t go crazy at all with what we ordered (kids were also only drinking water). On a separate note: I know tip has to be given and we are more than happy to do so, but found it not professional when getting the bill with automatically having 20% tip added.

Included breakfast was ok with limited options but there was an option to upgrade on any day to the full breakfast menu. This option gave you one hot main and a side for USD15. Tea and coffee is included. As we were staying for 5 days the basic included breakfast became repetitive, so we chose the upgrade for the last 2 mornings. Location of room on 3rd floor was quiet and very bright even though we were not facing the front or beach side of the building. I'm sure this made a difference in ensuring the room was quiet as the street was very noisy especially in the evenings. The hotel is well located at the south end of South Beach. Very close to the beach and restaurants. Staff were excellent. We also ate dinner at the restaurant. Excellent meal and service. Special mention to Manny and Diego at breakfast and Richard at dinner.

Perfect location on Ocean Drive. Room comfortable and clean. Excellent soundproofing so no noise at night. Staff helpful and friendly. Nice continental breakfast. Excellent on-site restaurant.

loved the location on south beach all activities and shops including grocery store are nearby... i used valet 45 usd per night but public parking was also available around the corner (it was cheaper than valet)... thanks to Julio for being generous and courteous.. room size was ok .. rooms were clean .. sound proofing was good, i hear no outside noise when windows were closed

Loads … I was greeted by Camilo, who is a class act: elegantly attired, reassuringly experienced, helpful and gracious at all times. The rooms and common areas were meticulously cleaned and the prices sensible for a decent art deco hotel. Pleasantly surprised that two small bottles of water are placed in the room daily. The dinner menu varied and reasonably enough priced compared with others on Ocean Drive (and they haven’t succumbed to using gaudy menus with colour photos!). Compact but nice bar in the front and evening guitar entertainment outside. Breakfast selection was straightforward, but enough. Always fresh apples, oranges and bananas as well as a good selection of bagels, bread and croissant - it was overseen by a lovely lady. Beach towels are available on request, as are foldable chairs to avoid the extortion of the beach hire crews! My room had a small fridge which was effective and helpful. Bathroom and shower all fine. Bedding crisp and looked quite new.
