After much online research, and at the last minute, I finally decided to book the Lexington Hotel in Miami Beach, attracted by the possibility of having both a pool and direct access to the sea.
What can I say... as soon as we arrived, we were greeted by a gentleman at the front desk who proved to be the kindest person of our entire stay. He spoke perfect Spanish—a significant achievement, considering that in the following days, none of the staff spoke Spanish, only English. His warm welcome immediately made us feel welcome, and the smell in the lobby is something I will remember for a long time... truly wonderful!
The hotel is tastefully decorated and located in a very convenient area, with a mini market just 50 meters away where you can find everything. Our room was spacious, well-maintained, with a convenient walk-in closet that allowed us to stow our bags without cluttering up.
Unfortunately, the mini fridge didn't work, which ruined some of the food we had brought: the only real negative.
The bathroom was a bit small for the four of us, and was showing some signs of age, but it was stocked with excellent hair products: shampoo, conditioner, and mousse that smelled amazing!
We were lucky enough to have a room with an ocean view: waking up every morning to the sunrise over Miami Beach and that wonderful turquoise water was truly special. 🌅
The only thing we missed (especially traveling with kids) was the included breakfast, which would have been really convenient.
✨ In conclusion: we'll definitely be back! Despite a few details that could be improved, the experience was beyond positive and we felt at ease.
