Shops at Pembroke Gardens

The design is modern, clean, and thoughtfully done, creating a calm, elevated atmosphere throughout the property. The staff are exceptional — genuinely warm, attentive, and consistently helpful. The location is extremely convenient. It’s just a couple of blocks from the beach, with complimentary beach towels, loungers, and umbrellas included, which is a major value. The beachfront boardwalk/walking path makes it easy to walk to Bal Harbour and Fontainebleau, and having both Walgreens and CVS within a block adds to the ease of the stay. The pool area is clean, quiet, and relaxing — a welcome contrast to larger, more crowded resorts. While I would recommend staying on the upper floors (as noise from above can be noticeable on lower levels, and the door-access blinds can be a bit finicky), the overall value far outweighs these minor inconveniences. For the price, this property is outstanding. It offers a far more peaceful and seamless experience than staying at larger resorts like Fontainebleau, where friends we were traveling with struggled to access beach towels and loungers due to crowds. This hotel felt cleaner, calmer, and more personal — and despite not being directly on the beach, it was an exponentially better experience. Clean, safe, beautifully designed, and incredibly well-run. A true 10/10 for value.
