Setai is amazing. Construction is going on - both sides of the hotel, and inside the hotel. May 2024

Hotel is excellent, elevated experience for south beach area. Good pools, different temperatures, which makes up for no hot tub. Restaurants are both quite good, two of the better ones in south beach. Only complaint is slow valet, but hotel was quite generous about the inconvenience and gave us a nice bottle of champagne as a sorry. Will stay here again I’m sure. Very much enjoyed it.

The staff is outstanding on all levels from the front desk, bar, valet, wait staff etc. The Setai was a shining gem 20 years ago and is badly in need of a major renovation. The once 5 star property is about a 4+ now.The staff makes the property better than it actually is. The pool area needs to be further separated with adults only and a kids side far away.

The Setai is a first class hotel with an incredible staff - attentive, helpful and appropriate. The facilities are well cared for and inviting. The rooms are spacious and pampering. The only concern was the construction happening on the adjacent property - which was disruptingly noisy. It ruined much needed quiet pool time. Guest should be given advance notice of this to plan accordingly.

Stay was amazing. They service your room in the afternoon and evening every day. The chairs at the pool and the beach are free and really comfortable. Free waters and sunscreen as well. The master of time signature spa treatment at Valmont spa was amazing. Convenient location. Staff is super nice. The weight room was really nice and had free weights including bench press and also machine weights as well. Treadmills as well. Jaya has some cool shows in the evening during dinner. Ocean Grill restaurant has really nice views of the Ocean and beach.

Property is excellent, however I did not expect a construction project at the lobby during my stay at the hotel. I am allergic to dust and dust were everywhere every time you walked by the lobby. They should let the customer know about this construction happening during the week.

I recently stayed at The Setai Hotel in Miami Beach, and I am extremely disappointed and shocked by my experience there. The hotel had an outdated ambiance, and it felt incredibly worn down. The low ceilings only added to the overall poor impression. Despite booking a very expensive two-bedroom room, there was no sense of luxury whatsoever. The real frustration began at breakfast, where we started eating at 10:30 AM and finished just past 11 AM. To my surprise, I was charged for breakfast, with the hotel claiming that any receipt printed after 11 AM meant it was not complimentary. This issue was only brought to my attention upon checking out. When I tried to dispute this unfair charge, a front desk staff member, who happened to be a black male, was extremely rude and unhelpful. Due to a tight flight schedule, I ended up having to pay the unjust fee. Is this what should be expected from a five-star hotel? My trip was marred by this appalling service and deeply unpleasant experience.

Bunga is the example of great customer service and made my experience that much better! Manny was also great on be beach, which I highly recommend enjoying! These were just a few honorary mentions but, the entire staff was amazing! The hotel was very clean, the breakfast buffet on Sunday was delicious! The restaurants and the food by the pool/beach all 10/10! I didn’t get to enjoy the spa this time but, I will definitely be back!
