Marriott Vacation Club Pulse, South Beach

Right across the street from the beach. Lovely room. Nice and large. Comfortable bed plus there was a sofa bed in the room, too. The bathroom was huge with a great walk-in shower. There was a small kitchenette as well. Great beachy feel. Large safe, free fast wifi. There was free washers and dryers and all you had to do was supply detergent. They loan you beach chairs, towels, beach umbrella, and even a push cart. Large roof top terrace that overlooks the beach/park across the street. Very clean and comfortable. My only quibble was that the electrical outlets should be on both sides of the bed and there needed to be more of them. The room was fairly sound-proofed as there was a festival there the day we stayed. Very friendly staff. I’d stay here again anytime. Surprisingly we found out later that the hotel was a time share and that most of the people staying there were the owners. It certainly made more sense since everything was so lovely.

Location is great. Right across from the street from the beach. They even provide a "beach cart" (looks kind of like a stroller) that makes it easy to bring your towels/chairs/umbrella with you. This was unique and really useful. The hotel is clean and modern. Its a bit loud at night, since its right on Ocean Drive so you WILL hear drunken nightlife but its a a given due to the location. My only real complaint is the valet service. The valet guys were great, but they weren't always around. If you pull up to the hotel and the valets are nowhere to be seen, you cannot double park, you end up having to circle back around the block. We tried calling the number on the valet booth, which no one picked up. I ended up having to send my partner into the hotel and the front desk finally found a valet. Driving in circles because you dont want to block traffic sucks. If you are paying $40 for valet service they shouldnt have to be hunted down now should they? There are nice restaurants all around and this hotel is pretty much in the center of everything you would want. I'd definitely stay here again.

We were there less than 24 hours and it was an absolutly amazing experience. They handled our luggage, our room was clean and much larger than we expected, they made our dinner reservations and held our luggage after we checked out the following day. Will be returning!

Very nice room, comfortable and clean. First time to have beach cart available for use. Great view and nice oceanside walkway across the street. Be careful to have enough gas coming into South Beach as there are limited gas stations.. Had to use a valet and always prefer a parking option. Perfect location for visiting South Beach.

Art Deco on the outside. Modern and funky on the inside. Staff is great. I had a mini suite and it was very roomy and comfortable. 4 star nice. Valet parking is a pain but no different than any of the hotels in this Art Deco strip. No self park unless you go to a municipal garage a block away. Directly across the street from beautiful beach walk and the beach itself. Beach chairs and umbrellas supplied in your room. Many many restaurants as close as could be. Be sure Sough Beach is what you’re looking for, not exactly a “beach hotel” but a mix of food, fashion, and the beach. Got a little noisy from people outside, especially the adjacent restaurant‘s workers and deliveries. A lot of the South Beach hotels are not quite the quality you may expect but this one is meticulous.
