It’s a beautiful place but it needs renovation

the photos on Expedia unfortunately no longer reflect the current state of the hotel, everything is a bit run down! Staff not particularly interested in guest service. A queen bed for 3 adults😩???! The terrace with the whirlpool unfortunately cannot be used at all as there is so much noise from the next room, probably a broken whirlpool!!! It was not possible to open a window! The supposedly included breakfast for 2 people (there were 3 of us?) is just a coupon for $20, which is not nearly enough, the portion of salmon we ordered is a tiny slice! So you might as well have breakfast somewhere else! Coffee machine in the room but the coffee is unfortunately inedible.

We spent 4 nights at ZOcean and I have to say “not exactly as advertised” as the suite we stayed in had roof access but the hot tubs are not running, the furniture was lacking cushions on the patio, the actual room was in disrepair and the kitchen / dinette had a plastic plat a fork and a knife. Not what you read when you book the “upgrade”. The folks at the hotel are nice enough but the hotel has not been invested in to be at the advertised level for what looks like 10 years. Very disappointed in the accommodations. On the positive side it’s in a great location near dinning and the beach.

The hotel is very old and poorly maintained. The gym is a joke. It looks like a dungeon. There is almost no equipment. The TV system is from the previous century. If it works. Not a very presentable establishment at all.

A large tastefully decorated room with a huge outside deck to enjoy people watching. Lovely heated pool in the courtyard and hot tub. Restaurant attached to the hotel. We really loved this accommodation for our Miami trip.

Definitely nothing to write home about. Not so clean. Dirty spa tubs. Jets do not work.
