A great place to grab a drink and chill
Pros:

We only visited the cafe which is located in the heart of the art deco hotels on Ocean Drive. Our waitress was fantastic - really friendly and welcoming. It was a great place to have a drink, relax and watch the world go by.
I would definitely recommend it.

Hôtel mythique bien placé, mais vétuste et extrêmement petit
Pros:

L’emplacement est parfait si on veut profiter de la plage et de la vie nocturne animée

Cons:

Les chambres sont vraiment petites. La salle de bain est petite et pas fonctionnelle. On ne peut poser ses affaires presque nulle part. Le parking valet très cher, mais heureusement un parking public un peu plus loin et plus abordable

Excellent place to stay for a short getaway.
Pros:

The room was clean and modern. The bed was a large king size and was very comfortable.

Cons:

The rooms were very well decorated and clean, but the corridor smelt a little musty. This did not affect our stay though.

Very welcoming hospital people
Pros:

I am writing an honest review of the colony here in south beach. The room 301 the ocean suite is wonderful. If any problems arise they take care of it you are treated as family. Also if you stay you must eat Philly steak egg rolls so good. Izzy and Alex at the front desk are also masters of hospitality who know several languages and can help anyone you cannot forget eli the one of the servers so cool

A lovely hotel to stay at!
Pros:

We had a lovely couple of days staying at the a Colony Hotel. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The beds are so comfy, after a long flight we had a good night sleep. Location is good just on the beach and the hotel let us borrow things for the our beach days including beach towels. I would definitely stay here again.
