Suite, 2 Bedrooms, Balcony, Oceanfront

The suite faces the Atlantic, and its private balcony gives you open ocean views. The hotel sits on about 600 feet of private beachfront on Collins Avenue, so the beach is right below you. If the water is the reason for your trip, this is the view to book.

The suite has two king beds in its two bedrooms and sleeps up to 5 guests. A rollaway/extra bed can be added for a surcharge (the hotel lists a flat $150 per stay). That makes it a good fit for two couples, or for a group that wants its own bedroom space and a shared living area.

At 1529 sq. ft., it is a spacious two-bedroom suite. The bedrooms are separate from a sunlit living space with a dining area, and a desk gives you somewhere to work. Connecting rooms are available if your group needs more space.

The private bathroom has a deep soaking bathtub and a separate rainfall showerhead. It also comes with designer toiletries, bathrobes, slippers, towels and a hair dryer.

You get a 55-inch LCD TV with premium channels, pay movies, an MP3 dock and an in-room tablet. An espresso maker, minibar and dining area are in the suite, and a refrigerator is available on request. Room service runs 24 hours, and Wi-Fi is free. Beds are dressed in premium hypo-allergenic bedding with down comforters and blackout drapes, and turndown service is provided.

A mandatory daily resort fee is charged per room. Reported amounts vary by date and booking source, from about $68 to $82 a night. It typically covers beach chairs, umbrellas and fitness center access. Guests can also join the complimentary group fitness classes at Anatomy, such as yoga, Pilates and boxing, on the published weekly schedule.

Everything is on site. The hotel has four pools: the Center Pool, Cabana Pool, South Pool and the Rooftop Pool, which is reserved for guests 21 and older. The Bamford Wellness Spa and Anatomy fitness center are both on the 2nd floor. Dining includes Watr on the rooftop, AVIV on the ground floor, Tala Beach on the sand and The Sandbox poolside. Drift Lobby Bar and Neighbors Café are in the lobby. Tala Beach is seasonal and reopens in mid-October.

Yes. With two king bedrooms, a living and dining area, a desk and a minibar, it works well for friends or couples travelling together and for extended stays. The espresso maker and 24-hour room service keep mornings and late nights simple.
