Pros:

Location is very good

Cons:

They didn’t have hot water! They promise to fix it during 3 days but they didn’t! I should change hotel.
In addition, they are doing big big construction in the next hotel. It is very noise! You can hear that from the room, pool, etc.

Location great, rooms were not.
Pros:

The location was great being so close to the beach and it was in a nice part of south beach

Cons:

My first room was so loud I had to move as I could hear every word of my neighbor. When they moved me to a different room, it was quiet but even worse views or messy rooftops and construction. The front desk were extremely unhelpful.

Nice hotel, great staff, beautiful grounds
Pros:

The staff were all friendly and accommodating. The pool and beach were easily accessible and clean

Cons:

Online it says renovation was only starting next month but it had already started so it was a little bit of bummer to hear it and to see a huge crane right next to the beautiful view

Unfortunately, my overall experience was stressful and fell significantly short of expectations.
Pros:

Despite paying USD 400 per night, I was initially assigned a room with a window facing a wall. I was told this was what I had booked, and only after lengthy discussions and speaking with the manager was I moved to another room. Unfortunately, the air conditioning in that room did not work. After more than two hours of unsuccessful repair attempts, I had to be moved again to a different room.

Additionally, I was not allowed to check in until incidentals were paid. Due to issues with my Visa card, I was forced to use the hotel’s guest internet to complete the payment, putting my account at risk while still being denied access to my room.

This is not the first time I have faced such issues when booking through Booking.com. The experience was far below the standard expected for a hotel at this price level. I request that this matter be reviewed and that appropriate compensation be considered.

Cons:

I was dissatisfied with the way I was treated during check-in, simply because my reservation was made through Booking.com.

Good location, very poor quality hotel
Pros:

The location and breakfast were great

Cons:

The hotel is not worth the money they charge and they were renovating, so the noise and dust was terrible

Localização boa mas atendimento nao é mais o mesmo
Pros:

Localização

Cons:

Atendimento do staff noturno é pessimo.
Tive problema com a luz do meu quarto que não apagava, depois de muitas ligações e ida a recepção, um funcionario foi no quarto e constatou o problema pra conseguir resolver. Foram mais de 1 hr aguardando com meu filho de 3 anos acordado até as 1h da manhã.

Great location
Pros:

The location is excellent, and the pool with direct access to the beach and available chairs is fantastic. The staff at the beach and pool were friendly and very nice.

Cons:

It's an "old" hotel, so expect to hear some noise from other rooms and the corridor. That was the only part of our stay that wasn't great because we wanted to rest at night, but we were slightly disturbed by noise from other rooms. Also, the bathroom in the two-queen-bed room is really tiny.

Don’t stay here!
Pros:

Nothing… all my birthday stuff was sent to the wrong room… flowers, cake, rose, balloons, cards.. room was at least 80 degrees!!! I was VERY uncomfortable and finally they changed rooms the last night I was there. Honestly I should be getting at least a refund and nothing.

Cons:

Only thing I liked was location

Localização excelente
Pros:

Localização excelente. Hotel bom. Café da manhã com boas opções, porém cappuccino era cobrado a parte do café incluso na diária. Quarto bom, limpo diariamente, com duas garrafas d'água como cortesia. Nada excepcional. Piscina limpa, em frente a praia. Já fiquei em hotéis melhores em Miami Beach. O Nautilus Sonesta vale o custo-beneficio pela localização.

Cons:

O inconveniente foi carregar as malas para o apto 802, tendo que descer alguns degraus de uma escada, com uma funcionária do hotel "olhando" para dois idosos (85 e 78 anos) e nem se quer teve a gentileza de ajudar. Qdo fomos sair do hotel, perguntei a um rapaz se poderia usar o elevador de PCD para subir as malas e ele, gentilmente, as subiu para nós.
Também achei o cúmulo dizer que o cappuccino seria cobrado a parte no café da manhã incluso na diária. Especialmente porque as diárias no ano novo já estavam superfaturadas.
