Best location right on the beach. The pools and facilities are well maintained. But I had a hard time to contact with the host with my concern. Overall, this place is wonderful.
If you want a fairly economical way to enjoy Miami Beach, then this is it. Property amenities were very nice, proximity to the beach was spot on, and overall vibe was good. The actual condo is somewhat dated and has wear, but it is priced accordingly, so donât go in expecting perfection. Condo floors were not super clean⊠first hour barefoot and my feet were dirty. If you plan on cooking, bring your own pots and pans and seasonings. Glassware and plates sufficient in the condo. Correspondence was a little difficultâŠI asked about 6 questions before arrival and only half were answered. When they say NO beverages and snacks allowed to be brought into pool area, they mean it. Also, they DO NOT provide you with any beach chairs, you have to rent them. As long as you are aware of these things and plan accordingly, it is a nice stay.
Accurate listing, clean, easy checkin at condo. I wish I would have parked in lot next door instead of paying for valet, but valet was great. WiFi didnât work.
We recently stayed at this apartment and really enjoyed the location and the supreme service at this location. Everything worked very well and was just what we needed to relax. Everything was well maintained and clean. We have also stayed at other properties in other buildings next to this one which were extremely disappointing, so we are extremely happy that this one was very good.
The room had plenty of space for a family. With 2 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms seperated by a common area was great for several people. The pools were nive as well with easy access to the beach
The staff was great, location was great but the room itself was very dated. Outside of that the room didn't feel clean. There were stains and ants and sand everywhere. There was cigarette butt's on the balcony along with the balcony furniture being dirty enough to mark up our clean clothing. There was holes in the walls covered with furniture. Just all around not the greatest. I think one of the funniest complaints my kids made was that they provide 1ply toilet paper in a 5 star price range! That being said I know every unit is different and I saw other complain about smell and air-conditioning. Our air conditioning in 511 was great though what they have considered the primary bedroom did get stuffy at night and our unit had no bad smell. It was a mixture of salty air and the air freshener they use. The other large upset was that you could not take your own drinks to the pool. I was told I could not take my kids cup outside and when traveling with kids drinks and snacks get expensive. If they hadn't charged my husband over $35 dollars for 1 single cocktail and a juice it wouldn't have been so bad but you can tell they're looking to make a dollar anywhere and when your drink are in stainless steel cups or non breakable tumblers those should be permitted at the pool deck.
Liked the pool area and valet staff were very friendly and brought car timely. Property needs updating especially the bathrooms. Floor in one of the bedrooms needs to be replaced.
Itâs ok for the price but it really need maintenance. Gym was not available and we were not informed - pool was dirty - chairs on the beach not included - and the condo old and dated
The exterior of the building is newly renovated with nice pool and lounging area. Our room left a lot to be desired. Updated furnishings would be welcome. the bathroom is in need of desperate remodel. You can not bring any outside food or drinks to or even through the pool area to the beach, which is very disappointing for a family of six renting a condo. the beach is gorgeous not much for shopping or food options within walking distance how ever there are lots of ride share options to places about 10-15 min car ride.
Loved the place. Location was great. Pool and beach perfect for us (family of 6). Manager very responsive to all our questions. Would definitely love to stay again.

Beach Vacation
Resort is nice with a nice beach. Drinks are very expensive but that seems to be the theme. The trolley system is nice once you get the hang of things. For us I think we would stay farther south next time. There wasnât much for food within walking distance of the Alexander. I would say we got what we paid for.
We enjoyed our stay here, great location, everything was as described and beds very comfortable. Loved the location on the beach and the nice pool area. A couple things there were a concern no bath mat in the master tub and tub was very slippery, the kitchen was very nice but stocked well for 2 persons. lack of glassware, silverware and plate, and no ice. maker. We had a good stay but had to run the dishwasher all the time.
The property is great with perfect location. The only thing I would complain about is if you take a wagon to carry all your stuff to they beach and have a cooler to take to the beach they not let you go through pool area to go to beach. We had to walk down the street to public access to go to the beach. After the beach we like to come to the pool and relax in pool and have drink from the bar but you can't because they won't let you enter the pool area.
The condo is located in Mid Beach which was nice and the pools are awesome with direct beach access. The only negative is the people at the front desk of The Alexander Hotel are not friendly or helpful. The guy w the nose earring who checked us in was rude and not friendly. Vanessa with Blu Rentals was our contact via text messages and she was very helpful.
Big shout out to Vanessa our host . She attended to our needs/ concerns without hesitation. There were several things needing repairs/ attention . And Vanessa got this done immediately . Can't fault the host in anyway .
However the property I would not choose to stay there again. No breakfast /dining area or bar. In an area that has nothing close by . Yes there is the free tram ride outside which took about 20 minutes to get to Lincoln road or any other local amenities . Wish I'd known this before. Looking on the map it " looked" fairly central. It wasn't. Need to do more research.of location.next time . The two pools were located a short way from the beach . Which was nice . But if you want to lie on the beach it costs $50 for two loungers and an umbrella per day . Unless you bring your own. 2 small chairs and an umbrella were in the unit . However with 5 Adults and one infant ,inadequate . Forget buying drinks at the pool bar .Rip off outrageously expensive . Food too( served in to go boxes) . Everywhere signs No outside food ,coolers or drinks allowed . We had an infant ( formula) Was told by the Security guard . Not allowed .Music is blasted all day long . Approx 20 songs on repeat . The appartment is spacious with a side balcony . Beautiful views . Two chairs on balcony ,unfortunately older and very dirty . Inside One large Master bedroom With ensuite 2nd bedroom 2 Queens large closet very tight .space.Old old tiny bathroom. Shower dripped constantly AC Very loud . Had to turn it off at night ,couldn't sleep with the racket .if you intend to just relax at pool and can afford their food and drink go for it In itself ,It could be made into a fantastic place if it was remodelled . But Old old plug sockets just put on the wall like you'd find in a basement . Slap job repair of cement on walls . Grout etc . Quick fix . Vents were all old rusty and absolutely filthy . Microwave was rusty and food caked on the door looked years old . cupboards No proper shelving for pots and pans all thrown in. 2 frying pans somewhat usable . Parking .
$30 nightly .Inaccurate 50% more per night . Unacceptable . I stayed on Collins Ave very close to Lincoln Road . Parking $25 Per night .The unit is overpriced .whopping service fee added don't know why . Property damage fee extra. Room cleaning fee extra . For a 1980's 2 bed old unit Not worth it..I can do without. the hassle of security checks if I'm smuggling food or drink .Third attempt at submitting this .
The property suited our needs for a quick 4 day trip very well. The staff was all very friendly. The property renovations that are ongoing will only help improve the experience.
