Great hotel! Right on beach. A 15 min walk to Los olas blvd. Uber is about $15 average. Lots of golf carts but those are more expensive rides. Pools are nice. Lots of beach chairs

Palm Tree Club Miami Hotel
My room was clean, modern with a comfortable bed. The parking was good and I felt very safe on the property. Not having coffee in my room or complimentary in the lobby was something I haven't experienced in a long time.
