The food at High Tide bar (the outside bar by the pool) is delicious.
The High Tide bar staff is average at best. Good thing the gratuity is built into the High Tide bar bill as the staff is pretty lax & attention to detail isn’t part of their forte.
Orders get screwed up. Ask for drinks & never receive them.
Maybe the High Tide staff can’t hear because the music is extremely loud in the afternoon.
I love the music, don’t get me wrong.
The Hyde Beach club next door has a boisterous/rowdy atmosphere that spills into the ambience of the Kimpton Surfcomber. As if there are competing music selections. It reminds me of Cabo San Lucas.
The remainder of the staff are very pleasant & helpful even if they don’t seem enthused to be there.
The beach cruiser bicycles that are available for hotel patrons need major help. The bicycles are pretty beat up but that intensifies the amount of effort needed to ride them.
Quaint remodeled hotel. No frills. Walkable to about everywhere in South Beach.
The hotel butts up to the South Beach boardwalk which is really convenient for riding bikes, walking, jogging, rollerblading, longboard skateboarding, etc…
Vegetation on property is beautifully manicured.
I would visit again as I didn’t go there for top notch Ritz Carlton service.
The Kimpton Surfcomber location is excellent.
Seems most people go here to party & have a blast. Which I did as well. This is a reflection of my experience & I went the week after Thanksgiving.
