Park Central South Beach
Property was just “okay”. A/C units in our room simply did not keep the room cool. The unit is overmatched for the room size and florida sunshine. Bathrooms very small.

Loved the food, cocktails, staff and vibes. Beautiful ocean bay view. Room slightly dated (paint, chips in furniture) not an issue for me. Will be back again for sure. Spa was amazing and treated to so many glasses of champagne complimentary!!! Thank you Mondrian and Baia Beach Club.
