“A must stay”

If you go anywhere in the world,make it Miami. If you stay anywhere in Miami,make it the Catalina. Our first impressions of the hotel weren't great, the hotel was smaller than expected. However,the staff & the atmosphere of this very intimate & trendy hotel soon grew on us & by the end of out stay, we were very sad to be going. Couple that with it's central location being no more than 2 blocks away from Ocean Drive, beach & top clubs/restaurants & take advantage of happy hour.

“Hidden Gem!!!!”

I cant even begin to describe my experience at the Catalina Hotel. 1st, the staff is absolutely wonderful and accomodating. the bartenders make fantastic drinks, specifically, the daytime bartender in the 2nd building. even during happy hour, the drinks were never watered down. our room was amazing. the beds were so comfortable. very simple and modern. loved the shower. the pool is great. great location, only one block away from ocean. not far from nightlife, but far enough to relax. i would recommend this hotel to anyone.

“Most bang for your buck.”

This hotel impressed my girlfriend and I so much from the minute we checked in to the minute we checked out. Everyone was polite and courteous. The hotel has a free happy hour from 7-8 in the lobby. Let me say that again a free HAPPY HOUR from 7-8. The pool is beautiful as well as walking distance from the beach. Rent a scooter for 55 dollars a day. Its worth it. I plan on staying here again on my next trip to Miami.

“Great Rood top pool.”

The hotel was comfortable and very clean. I would stay there agian.

“Great place to relax”

Very comfortable hotel with great beach access. staff was very helpful and responsive.

“Great place to stay if you want to be "IN IT"”

The service was very good , the room was quiet although the slamming doors did cause one to jump every once in a while. Very centrally located to restaurants, stores and beach . Amenities were a money saving plus: free shuttle bus to and from airport, free beach towels and chairs , free drinks at happy hour with nightly entertainment by very talented musicians , free bikes to rent ( although not the best bikes!) Very active , lively area with lots to see and do. Would return and recommend to all friends w/o small children.

“what a stay”

Staff very helpful and friendly. Service wonderful. The area safe and plently of shopping.

“Can't wait to go back!”

Although my trip was only a weekend, I desire to come back to South Beach and to the Catalina! It was a blast! The hotel was beautiful and swanky, straight out a scene in a movie! The beds were comfortable, slept like a baby instantly. The staff and service were lovely and very professional. Thumbs up for this fabulous hotel!

“Great hotel!”

Catalina was really a hot place to see beautiful people and be seen by important social impresarios in South Beach. This hotel has really become the hip spot to stay at and I will recommend it to everyone I know.

“The place to see and be seen”

A true hot spot in South Beach. The Catalina was a hip place to be, full of beautiful people who were all trendsetters. The cocktails at the bar were all good and the bartenders had good advice about where to find the best nightclubs on the beach. We will stay here next time we are in South Beach.
