The Setai is a wonderful oasis amidst the chaos of South Beach. The rooms are truly amazing, and the staff is incredibly friendly and professional. I made a mistake with my reservation and booked a day late, but the front desk staff handled the situation with grace and helped me rebook on the spot. From the doorman to the lady who got me an oatmeal latte because I was short on time for breakfast, everyone went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect. I also visited the spa and had an amazing massage. The hotel’s restaurants are top-notch, and the service and food are truly deserving of a magazine feature.” – Tim Doe, New York, New York.

I have stayed at this hotel several times and each visit is better than the last. Although the price range is high, I would recommend staying here, especially during the low season in autumn when prices are somewhat lower.

Fontainebleau seems like the perfect place to unwind and indulge. Its location on the beach is ideal for anyone looking to explore the vibrant surroundings. You can soak up the sun by one of the pools or venture out to discover nearby attractions. I must give a special shout-out to Marie, one of the cleaning ladies who helped me with a dress mishap in my room. She went above and beyond to assist me and was incredibly helpful. The lobby bar was also a highlight of my stay, with excellent service from the servers. However, I did have a less than satisfactory experience with the service at the reception desk. I had requested a room with a balcony and waited for over 45 minutes, only to be given a room without a balcony. Despite this disappointment, I still highly recommend this resort for its excellent amenities and overall great experience. Overall, I had a great stay and would return for another visit. – Astrid Seren, London, UK.

It’s this personal touch that cements The Standard as a cherished spot for both locals and visitors.
