Excellent experience with host, condo unit, valet, staff, everyone in the building. Host put thought into the pillows and usually when you get the pillows right everything else impeccably falls into place. After a day of travel you'll love your nap or long sleep on the perfect pillows (and plenty of them). Intercoastal view I actually prefer over direct ocean. During daylight savings time, like now, your ocean view is pitch black so not much view at all past 6pm. With intercoastal and city view you have lights, cars, action. It still gives the vibe and views of a city lit up. We normally stay in Miami and while this trip our social activities involved being in Wynwood and downtown Miami, we were very much pleased that we ventured north and stayed here. Pool area is a bit conservative by miami standards but we werent going in the pool and i would assume if you are doing the water you'll just walk across the street to the beach. Stumbled upon a couple quick food options that we amazing: WoodOne Ramen and for breakfast Untoasted. Brilliant custom latte menu at Untoasted and quality of food and serving size is far better than we've had at Big Pink in South Beach. If this end unit with floor to ceiling windows and panoramic views (can still see some of ocean between buildings) is on your short list, book it. We were surprisingly delighted to spend a few days in hallandale beach and this building is top notch.
