"South Beach is a very rundown area. The area and the hotel is very busy. Service is very slow. People barely speak English. The rooms at the hotel are decent but small. The bathroom is also small with no storage. Breakfast is not open buffet. They just bring you a plate with pasties and basic food. Nothing special. Pools are not bad but very busy. Ocean is very wavy. If you want just a vacation with sun and beach, go to Dominican to an all inclusive resort. South Beach is very expensive. I would stay at a chain hotel like Iberostar or Roy next time "
