The front desk never seems to know how to check people in. They always seem confused even though the envelopes with the names of people are right in front of them on their desk…

Aside from that, the room was bad. Shower doesn’t work, a/c doesn’t work, and not to mention a huge cockroach on the bed.

On top of all that, the host running these rooms is extremely difficult to reach and did not even respond at all to my complaints or put me in a different room.

This was our third time at Singular Joy and second time we had Erica as our host. We absolutely love it there and are already planning our trip for next year!
It’s a block off of 5th Ave and a block to the beach (although it’s small by the property).
The rooftop pools are stunning but nothing compares to the view!! Angel (apologies if I spelt it wrong) at the rooftop bar was an absolute pleasure to chat with. She makes THE BEST mango mojitos!!
Highly recommend this property!!

You name it, nothing was good. Nothing worked including the elevator, no hot water. Had to change rooms because AC didn’t work. House keeping sucked. Kept taking my flat sheet off the bed for some reason. Didn’t empty trash in bathroom so I started putting toilet paper in WC after wiping my ass. Never come back that’s for sure

Upkeep has gone downhill. We have stayed here for the last 3 or 4 years and nothing is maintained. Pool ladies' bathroom - stall door latches don't work, toilets are hard to get to flush, soap dispenser broken and empty. Also no soap in lobby bathroom. In our suite, the shower water alternated between hot and cold. Many outlets didn't work. We used to love this place but now we're having 2nd thoughts about it.

The roof is beautiful. Everything else is terrible. It was a stay for my husbands birthday and they were informed ahead of time. Not only did they not do anything special (promised) they gave us a room with 2 broken TVs and a clogged toilet. The air conditioning sounds like a Jetpack taking off when it turns on every 10 minutes. The room smelled and the sheets were dirty. They claimed they were be a twin bed in the room but it was a futon with broken legs. There were weird cleaning supplies and cords in the cupboards. But the worst part of all was that the room did not have a deadbolt lock which seemed suspicious.at 11pm someone fully ENTERED the room with my daughter laying on the couch inches away. My husband jumped up and yelled for them to leave immediately. I was already asleep and would not have heard it over the extremely loud ac with he didn’t get up. No one had apologized and Expedia still had not rectified the matter 3 days later! No explanation given for them entering with a DO NOT DISTURB SIGN ON THE DOOR! We would never stay here again.

The microwave didn't work - looked like it was but it never heated up.
When we tried to check in the desk clerk had no record of our room. We waited for 20 minutes till he called someone, then gave me the phone. A woman who didn't identify herself apologized and said our room had been ready for 2 hours. Apparently he didn't look at the right place. Poor skills.

Stayed here for the kitchenette as we planned on cooking some of our meals. We also love the area it’s in as it’s right in the middle of all the restaurants, clubs and shops. However, the kitchen sink had no hot water at all. The shower would get warm then cold and warm and cold during a shower but never got hot. We contemplated losing our money since our booking was non refundable and staying elsewhere. The outlet in the bathroom didn’t work, so when doing my hair I had to plug my curler in a kitchen outlet and do my hair using my reflection in the microwave. The couch was really cheap. I sat down on it and a wooden block slipped from underneath and the couch tipped over. This happened multiple times so we chose to not use the living room as it was not comfortable trying to keep balance so the couch won’t tip. Also upon arrival we noticed lots of hair on the shower floor so that had us questioning the cleanliness of the place. After the first day they did a better job cleaning. The bed was comfy. If you care about hearing loud music this is not the place for you. We didn’t mind it. Glad I didn’t pay extra for a balcony because a lot of the balconies are not actually outside. The view is inside the hotel where the elevators are. The rooftop pool is beautiful. Sucks the bar didn’t open until 12pm. I would not stay at this hotel again.

Great Place - just a couple of things

This was a great save since we had problems with our original accommodations and booked this place frantically and honestly - we are so happy we landed here! Everyone was super friendly and accommodating, and the facilities were clean and in an optimal location. I noticed it says in the amenities that it is 24-hour rooftop access, but that's not true - it closes a few minutes before 9p, and I understand for safety reasons. Still, having that option would be amazing, especially seeing all the lights at night and getting that ocean breeze. We also had a few electrical issues with our room - we had to keep turning the breaker switch on and off to get the A/C and microwave to work, but they were so kind and helpful through the hiccups that you couldn't be upset. I would stay here again, 10/10, even with the small things.

Although the location was excellent, and for the most part, the room and balcony was wonderful. The microwave didn't work. Our private shower, the water only trickled out of the shower head in our room, the other shower was a little better. The ac worked but would not regulate. Either it was too cold or too warm. The patio area where you could congregate was an awesome place for our group to meet. We had a great time with that and the pool and bar area was excellent. The only problem we have with staff was the guy that was at the desk who wore glasses. We don't remember his name, but he was not very Kind. We ran out of toilet paper and he said we had to contact the administrator. And when my husband asked if he could just find a roll of toilet paper, he grabbed a roll of paper towels from under the desk and slammed it on the counter. Very unprofessional other than that everyone else was great.

Overall really good experience and great value, new modern property, excellent location, block from beaches and shops, amazing rooftop, friendly staff and service….. would’ve been 5 stars across the board, but water pressure for shower was really bad, as well as some of the appliances weren’t functional, such as the microwave with no power and no extension cords, no paper towels (would expect something as it had a full kitchenette)

Arrived 20 mins. Early, female cleck wouldn’t check us in until 3p because we booked with Expedia but allowed other from booking and book it to check-in, stated she had to wait for Expedia to send our info, when her shift was over at 3p a new clerk took over, I approached him to
Check -in and the envelope was right there just had to be handed to me, clearly the girl clerk was just being lazy.
Safe was on locked mode, asked for it to be open so we can use it, male clerk called the property manager several times never answered his calls and never showed up. We asked for a room upgrade and pay for it, male clerk again had to call the manager who never answered, didn’t get a room upgrade and no answer on the request.
You own drinks not allowed around the pool area since they have a cash bar, very inconvenient.
Had to buy our own sanitary paper because clerk did not have access to supplies once cleaning crew has left.
Good WiFi, good location. Good AC.
I would not return.

I wish we had booked the Meliora but we decided to try something new. Our problems were all centered around not having a working lock on our door upon arrival. The digital keypad was broken so we were given a key. We figured they had multiple copies of the keys but they did not. So for two days our room could not be cleaned. My husband went out and had to buy us toilet paper. Then they thought they fixed the digital keypad but later that night it stopped working again. So we couldn’t leave the room until it was fixed because we’d risk going out with an unlocked room. The third day they finally fixed the lock and keypad for good but it was frustrating for the first two days. They gave us a new shower head that my husband installed himself since there was no water pressure and again they couldn’t get into our room our first couple days. The staff and administrator were very nice and tried to fix things and make it better. But it was a poorly maintained room and either should have been dealt with before we got there, or given us a different room. I hope you don’t get room 110 suite because your lock may stop working and the shower still kinda sucks. We ended up having to pay $108 extra dollars too because we changed our stay from July 5-10 to July 10-15 because the hurricane, so it would have been nice to have a better hotel stay. Luckily my husband and I still had a nice vacation despite all the punches singular joy threw at us.

Great spot, bad service

The pool and view of the roof top, the location, and the rooms were amazing! However the service is horrible. The rooftop bar has a selection of over priced, mediocre food and they charge for any add ons like ice, cups and water. They claim that the rooftop bar is independent from the rest of the hotel. We had problems with towel service, we would ask the front desk for fresh beach and shower towels and after hours and going back multiple times we wouldn’t get them. So if you dont plan on using their pool bar or their towels, its a great place to stay!

Stayed here in December and reserved the same room for my son and his girlfriend last week. They were rude and refused to help with anything. After talking to many staff members and the supervisor they said it was an issue with Expedia not the property. They were unhappy with the accommodations I paid for. Not good business at all. Will never visit this location again. Ever!!

Would not recommend staying here... I don't typically write reviews but wanted to inform others before booking. Unfortunately, I booked Singular for their central location and affordable price. However, the place is very disorganized in terms of managing their bookings. As this is a condominium, I was not expecting hotel service.. but I think managing a booking correctly should be the bare minimum - this is no reflection on Expedia. Upon arriving, they did not have my booking available and also gave me someone else's room. The front desk kept insisting the envelope was for me but the name on there was not mine. After he called the property manager, he proceeded to give me a different key which led to even more chaos. When entering my room, I saw someone had already been staying in there as their luggage was unpacked. I then proceeded to go back to let the front know the room was already occupied. I was eventually was offered an upgrade to a different room for the night but was asked to check out the following morning so I can check back in to my original booking - the deluxe room. After I packed all my stuff again, I went down first thing in the morning to find out nothing was ready and the new person at the front had no idea what was going on. I eventually found out this same situation has happened to several other people as they were listening to my conversation in the lobby. My advice, please avoid booking here at all costs.

My family and I checked into a 2bedroom, the layout was ok but the condo was nasty and smelled horrible. The air only worked in the living room so you had to sleep with both bedroom doors open to stay cool. The smell being pumped out the ac smelled of decaying animal. The floors and shower was covered with blond hair. And when I wiped it and brought it to the front desk to show the filth I was given a number to call and report. The towel were dirty brown color and the kitchen towel still had food from the previous guest. I give this place a -10/10 I would never stay there again in fact we checked out 2 days early although it was already paid for. And the noise last til 3 am every night the only good thing is the smell took your mind off the noise. Please don’t stay here people.

Great Location, awesome roof bar with a view!

Very nice location, quiet, green street with lots of restaurants and shops, minutes from the main avenue with even more restaurants and shops, also minutes to the ocean. Next to big nightclubs, very lively at night, noise? ... may be some, I didn't hear.
My suite was very clean, enjoyed cold A/C, fast internet, and the balcony, good amount of utensils, fridge, stove, all worked. Enjoyed.
The shower stream was really weak and cold, probably because of a low floor. Pick a higher floor. Also the view from the unit? Not much. Not from any unit.
Their roof top has multiple SPA, a pool, absolutely stunning ocean view and a super great bar, featuring drinks that actually made sense.

Enjoy, one of the better places in the middle of the hot pot :)
