Kimpton Surfcomber Hotel by IHG

Good

The rooms were nice. The Staff was very friendly and helpful, from the happy hour to the front desk to the bar area, and coffee in the morning. All very helpful and friendly. I was especially impressed with the young people that worked at the beach to provide towels umbrellas and chairs. They were all very professional and particularly friendly which made our time at the beach that much better. The pool area and shaded area by the back bar/restaurant were also very well maintained and made for a peaceful stay.

The room was clean, comfortable, and exactly as represented in the pictures. The pool was great, location was almost ideal. Hundred percent would stay again in the future.

Superb

As of June 2026, the property appears to be undergoing some extensive remodeling, but the noise and ongoing work did not affect our stay in any way. My partner and I enjoyed our stay and found the rooms to be modern and comfortable. The only thing I’d note is that, although the cleaning team came by every day, the bathrooms could use a more thorough deep clean.

Location was excellent and the staff extremely nice and professional the carpet in the room, as I0'm allergic the first nighht I've asked if there were room with no carpet, they told me that all rooms has the carpet in and offered a deep clean on the next day. After the deep clean I had no problem but I do believe that they should do a deep cleann everytime they change clients in the room and better get rid of the carpet

Incredible pool and beach access for a smaller boutique hotel.

Great pool, nice breakfast. I had problems switching off the Air condition and using the room phone.

Courteous and very helpful staff... Loved my breakfast at the cafe.... Absolutely Delicious... Proximity to Beach / Pool lovely and to the ABFF Conference Awesome.

Great experience

My main complaint is that the hotel regularly hosts private events at the pool without providing advance notice to guests prior to booking. During these events, the pool is unavailable for guest use, which is disappointing when pool access/pool area is one of the amenities of the property. In addition, the parties can continue late into the night, creating significant noise that carries into the rooms and disrupts sleep. Better communication and consideration for hotel guests would greatly improve the overall experience.

The staff and hotel was great!

Overall we had a great stay at this hotel. I enjoy the smaller intimate layout, the large pool and patio area with bar, and easy access to the beach path. The one drawback from our visit was the fact that the gym was closed for renovation. They were providing day passes to a nearby gym, but that was not super convenient, and also the gym did not have towels or self locking lockers (you needed to have a lock) so for the average hotel guest those are inconveniences.

I stay here few times a year. It's my happy place. Love the pool and views. Right on beach. Highly recommend. Staff are so friendly and they remember you! Love that

This is my go-to hotel in South Beach. I've been twice and will go back again. It's a great location -- walkable to everything -- has a great pool and bar. Rooms are small but clean and pleasant, and the staff is outstanding.

Very good

Clean room, great staff, fabulous design and decor in public spaces.

Great property great location! Access to the beach and a large pool compared to other properties. Great restaurant and excellent staff!

Also note this is not “oceanfront” it is a hike to the beach going past the hotel and restroom facilities, across a bike/walking path and down another walking trail. For the condition it is in the price should be one fourth what it was. I wish I could attach photos to show the neglect and tattered condition of everything even the towels were stained and torn.

Rooms are a bit small and outdated but everything else was great!
