Sea View Hotel 4-star

9909 Collins Avenue, Bal Harbour, FL

Welcome to an oceanfront enclave of classic luxury and casual elegance. A 4-star, European style, full service beach resort, the Sea view was born of an era when a hotel was not primarily a place to sleep, but a place to call home.[more]

  • Staff very friendly and attentive to guests needs, beautiful property
  • A lot of tipping needed!

“The hotel lobby is beautiful, staff are friendly and very attentive to your needs. Rooms are clean but small but attractively decorated. Each room has a balcony, very nice size with great views even on the city side. Pool area beautiful and has a private beach area all very nice. Would definitely stay here again.”

  • Beautiful entrance way and great views from the room, very comfortable.
  • Despite lower fee for the room, everything else was a la carte in every way.

“We liked the hotel, the staff and would stay there again. I felt that the breakfast while excellent was pricey and was disappointed that we could not opt for the economical buffet breakfast. The bathroom had plumbing problems though these were attended to very quickly. It was odd to me that one had to pay to lay on a lounge chair ($10.00 per person per day), you would think this would be included in the price of the room.”

  • The location.
  • The staff was polite but cold.

“The hotel is in a great location and the view was great but I thought the staff lack a little bit of warmth, the should have been a little bit friendlier.”

  • The room was really great, big, two windows that gave me a view to the ocean & the city. Loved it.
  • The hotel was under construction.

“It is a colonial hotel with ocean view, very cozy and clean. The cabanas outside gave it a sense of the 1940's. It was exactly what I was looking for. Not too much luxury, but classy.”

  • Location.
  • Medical emergency. Would not even consider a partial refund.

“Even though this hotel is a few doors down from my mother-in-law, I will not ever book there again. We had a medical emergency come up and could not fly and they wouldn't even consider a partial charge.”

  • Great location and quality breakfast.
  • Built in 1943, but still classy.

“The Sea View is located in a safe, upscale location. The staff were friendly yet reserved. This is not a new hotel, it's 1940's hotel full of class and style. The service was great, pool and beach just as expected. Real nice.”

  • It was clean, quiet, tranquil, relaxing and beautiful. There was a private beach. I will highly recommend this hotel.
  • I loved everything about this hotel. Its old world charm was soothing.

“This hotel offered everything that was stated on its website. The staff was very courteous and professional. The rooms were clean and smelled extremely fresh. The bathrooms were clean and well kept. We ordered room service from the restaurant. The food was hot, fresh and tasty. I will always stay here while in Miami. The priced were great!”

  • Excellent staff, good location.
  • Older hotel without modern facilities.

“Older hotel that is undergoing some renovation but there are limits because of its age such as small bathroom, no central air conditioning, old elevators, limited recreational facilities. The first room assigned had a very old bathroom with evidence of water damage and the shower head sprayed all over the room. The staff was excellent and switched us to an upgraded room the next day. There is some charm in this old style hotel but do not expect modern conveniences.”

  • Easy access to ocean.
  • Services closed at 5pm.

“This "hotel" is 3/4 residential property. The Cabanas are for residents only - chairs cost $5 per day to sit on the beach. The room service was fabulous and the food even better. ”
