The Savoy Hotel & Beach Club

Our family of four (2 kids 8-10 years old) spent 6 nights at the Savoy hotel in August 2017. Pros: Excellent location with a direct access to the beach. Rooms are very spacious and comfortable. Even the bathroom and shower are huge. Beds are comfortable. Very nice swimming pools with plenty of towels. Staff is friendly. Cons: Slow Check-in; we arrived at 10AM and only got our room at 5PM (one our after the check-in time). The first room we got (#314) smelled really bad (even with 2 air freshener that were inserted in the A. C. vent) and was infested with ants. I spent the night killing about 20 ants that were crawling all over the bedroom. We switch room the second day and everything was OK after that, except for the shower that had a hot water issue; we only had hot water for about 2 minutes followed by one minute of cold water and the cycle would restart again... WiFi was weak and slow in our room and near the swimming pools. We rented a suite with a sink, refrigerator, microwave and a coffee machine. There was no dining table or chairs (not like the pictures on their website). We got two free bottled water the day we arrived. We left a note to the cleaning lady and only got bottled water half the time during our stay. Umbrella at the beach is NOT included in the 22$ per day "resort fee". You have to pay an extra 19$ per day.

PROS: great location, easy to find, staff members were super helpful and friendly, pool area was awesome, great beach access CONS: outside of hotel looks super rundown, needs to be freshly painted, room on the first floor the hallway had a strong urine odor, room and bathroom were small, but ok, lots of hidden fees, i was prepared for the resort and valet fee, but they also charged 4 different types of taxes that isnt mentioned anywhere Overrall, it was a great location, but for the price, the hotel is not worth it. I would stay again for a cheaper rate.

Family stay for 5 days. It was great, although the hotel was built around 1930s it has been nicely renovated. The rooms was spacious and very clean, everything worked well. The location is just amazing, right on south beach, 1 min walk from the ocean to the pool inside the hotel. The area is booming with excellent restaurants too. Within 10 blocks you can find French, Italian, local, Colombian. The only small issue we had was promptly solved( remote needed batteries). The only downside of paying $22 for resort fee is that this includes de Beach chairs use but not the umbrella, that is an extra charge $19 per day. I bought one the first day and used the chairs on the beach everyday without any issues. Beach service was great and priced exactly the same as on Other restaurants on Ocean dr.

Really good location for the 4th of July just walking distance from everything.

The bed was not comfortable at all, people were right outside of the room smoking, pool was nice and the beach access was not what I had imagined. We checked out a day early!
