Upper Matecumbe Key Adventure Vacations

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.

The stay was fantastic room clean and staff very polite and friendly very helpful

Clean, great service, beautiful apartment

Had a great experience with this hotel. Great vibes, food and rooms. Close to the beach and in the heart of south beach. One warning to those who enjoy going to bed early. You can hear the music outside till about 12:30am. Not a problem for me but could be for others.

Nice views from oceanfront rooms. Has direct access to the beach with amenities like beach chairs, bicycle rentals

Rooms, staff, all very well kept, should have more coffee out in the morning, but all good

Clean, great service, beautiful apartment

Parking was not available. Extra charge for parking was not disclosed prior to booking.

Friendly staff and wonderful service. Also, the property is well located for getting around various attractions in South Beach!

Main road in front of hotel was closed. When we arrived, the concierge had no idea where to tell us to park. If they were transparent about it, ok. I would be ok. Then they said they are out of the 'free' wine, but could charge me $8 for a Heineken. Then couldn't get the elevator to work (we were on the 2nd floor thank God) The room was in good shape. The parking is what set off the chain for me. It's not hard to update a website. Or at least tell your staff what to say. Ended up parking in the City parking garage. I'd give it like a 75/100.

Excellent amenities and great location
