Iberostar Waves Berkeley Shore

Location is great, most of places are walking distance. Close to the beach (1 block away), many restaurants and bars around, Walgreens around the corner, liquor store beside the hotel, Ocean dr. and Espanola Way 2 blocks away. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Breakfast was not included however there is a restaurant downstair in the lobby where you can get it for a cost, and it is really good. Although there are a bunch of options along Collins Av as well. The restaurant stays open late and there are tables outside, it looks really nice at night, playlist was cool, really great atmosphere to have a happy hour and some drinks at the end of the day, watching the movement in the street. Waiters are friendly. Pool in the last floor is great. Room was big enough, good pillows, AC worked just fine but the shower was something else though, really good, I loved it. Room was nicely decorated and the finishing like carpet, walls, bathroom floor, sink and walls looked new and nice. Amenities such as shampoo, hair conditioner, liquid soup, tissue and body moisturizer are provided, and they are good quality. Hair drier was not that bad either. Hotel provides 2 chairs at the beach for each room.

Had a brilliant stay. My room was clean and spacious, shower with good pressure, AC, mini bar and a coffee maker which I cannot do without. The hotel is nice, clean and very central to all the amenities, beach, transport, restaurants, shops, pharmacy etc. The beach is a 5 minute walk, and it's free. There is an on site cafe, where I ended up dining most evenings as the food was consistently fresh and good quality. The hotel can book day trips with pick up, I booked the West Key one and it was absolutely worth it, I had a chance to visit the The Hemingway Home with his 6 toed cats, also Kermit pie shop has key lime pie of all sorts. All the staff at the hotel were super helpful, firendly and polite, Peter at reception is an absolute star and made sure everything would run smoothly. Ocean drive is a short walk away, the whole area felt very safe day and night. There is a bus 3 minutes from the hotel that takes you directlty to MIA airport and you can reach most places of interest on public transports, which are really cheap. Some of my favourite eats were Rosetta Bakery for pastries, Fratelli la Bufala for neapolitan style pizza, and the basque cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory, I also got to try the matcha lavander frappuccino at Starbucks as we don't have those flavours in the UK. I really reccommend picking up some coffee beans from La Coladita Coffee in little Havana, everyone at back home really enjoyed them. I had a great time, was sad to leave and hope to come back very soon.

The room was very clean. Bed was comfortable and housekeep did a great job with keeping up with changing towels everyday. Balcony had a beautiful view. Was in a great location and close to everything. Walking distance to beach less than 5 minutes. Nice that they give you chairs and towel access on beach. Umbrellas are very overpriced $28 per day is crazy. The hotel pool was refreshing after day on beach

The staff was amazingly friendly and helpful. Our room was small, but efficient and had everything we needed. Bed was very comfortable. The location was perfect for enjoying South Beach, very walkable! The restaurant leasing the space on the first floor was great! Very fun place to hang out. I have a child living in Miami, so we are there often. I felt this hotel was a great value compared to other hotels we have used in South Beach. We will likely be back for our next stay in Miami.

Second time we stayed at the Berkeley shore hotel very nice hotel clean beautifully located. It’s not a fancy hotel but certainly would recommend it 100% for people that want to be in a great location in a really cute boutique hotel for a great price!
