- Spa, pools, cabanas and four restaurants on the property
- Balconies overlooking the ocean or the inland waterway

The setting
The resort rises along Collins Avenue, with the ocean on one side and a neighboring golf course on the other. Rooms are spacious and bright, with Egyptian cotton sheets, marble bathrooms and, depending on the category, full kitchens in the suites. Ground-floor spaces open onto terraces and the pool area, which includes a quieter adults-only section. Ask for a high-floor room if you want an open view of the sea.
What we like
- Beach a few minutes' walk away at an oceanfront resort

- Four restaurants on the property
- Rooms with balconies facing the ocean or the waterway
- Close to Aventura Mall and parks such as Haulover
Worth knowing
- In high season the pools and beach are often crowded
- It is far from downtown Miami and South Beach, so you need a car or transfer
Don't miss
Set aside one morning for the spa and another for a walk along the Sunny Isles Beach shoreline. With a car, Oleta River State Park and Haulover Park are a few minutes away and offer kayaking, trails and green space, while Aventura Mall suits an afternoon of shopping.
