The Betsy South Beach -A Must Do!
The Betsy Hotel South Beach does NOT disappoint! I cannot express how fabulous everything was… the service (from the moment we arrived to the minute we left), the ambience, the food, the music, the charm and the quaint decor of the rooms and common areas, exquisite!. The whole experience was amazing and we can’t wait to go back!!! Thank you Betsy!

5-Star Hotel…Just Not a 5-Star Room
I recently stayed at The Betsy Hotel and had a mixed experience. On the positive side, the food, service, and location are truly excellent—easily 5 stars. The on-site dining is definitely on the pricier side, but it’s high quality and very convenient, which made it worth it during my stay. The upper pool area is also lovely and has a great atmosphere, though it could use more consistent upkeep—there were old drink spills on the ground that hadn’t been cleaned. My main issue was with the value of the room. I paid extra for a balcony room, and while the balcony itself was fine, the overall experience didn’t match the price. The room was unusually complicated to access—you have to take two elevators, walk between buildings, and then go outside through a breezeway (almost motel-style) to reach it. That outdoor walkway sits above an alley, and the noise level was a real problem. Between trash trucks and late-night music, it was far from a restful stay. There were also moments when using the balcony wasn’t enjoyable—for example, when power washing was happening below. It left me feeling like these rooms are far more exposed to noise than others in the hotel, despite costing more. In my opinion, rooms in this location should either be priced lower or reconsidered altogether. Overall, I loved many aspects of the hotel, but I would strongly recommend being very selective about room location if you’re looking for a quiet, relaxing stay.

Great recommendations by Katherine and Adrian
I came with my family today, I was a bit worried since I usually don’t like to try new drinks. However, Katherine recommended some and I loved them! It was made by Adrian who came to the table to make sure I liked the drink which was so nice of him as I didn’t expect such service! I asked for the same drink as soon as I finished! Great service from both !
