The room was great, but the staff seemed generally disinterested in the patrons. The conceierge for example, barely spoke English and couldn't answer simple questions about the area. The pool needed to be cleaned more regularly and the guy running the cabana/towel stand disappeared on a regular basis.

I can't believe that I paid over $900 for a two night stay at this hotel. The first room that I was given was old, old, old, particularly the bathroom. I asked to be given an updated room and was shown two, both on the first floor. The first overlooked the parking lot, the second a roof where, if I really looked hard, I could see the ocean. I chose the second. The bathroom, while updated, had a cracked tissue box holder, a chip in the bathtub, brown grout around the tub and, a sink faucet handle that hit the shelf above it. Doesn't anyone check these things? And, at over $300 a night for the room, could they spring for a Keurig and something other than powdered \"creamer\"? Overall, it was old and dreary. Maybe this hotel was in its heyday 50 years ago. Not now.

Construction happening on both sides of the building, oceanfront rooms are more “pool front” than ocean front. Building is short, overshadowed by each building on its sides. The hotel is very old, the other residents were rude, the pool guy threw a fit and yelled at me for taking towels off empty beach chairs, got in my face yelling and took the towels from me. I paid 800$ for one night

This hotel served us very well, friendly helpful staff, clean room. the room was more spacious than expected which is nice. We requested a baby crib and a microwave, everything was prepared and we were able to do early check in. View was gorgeous. we did not have a balcony but we were facing the beach and it was glorious. The beach is right by the hotel, accessible by walking through the pool area. there was staff there to set up beach chairs and whatever we needed.
housekeeping was darling and aiming to help. Overall I got the vacation and relaxation that I really needed.
PS- there is some construction going on in other rooms or areas of the hotel, but no noise during the evening or early morning, so it did not bother us thankfully. the hotel seems old but kept up nicely. Kind of quaint. It felt clean and comfortable.

The view that I paid $3000 for overlooked a tacky roof. The hotel next-door was doing construction. I was sick in my room for a week, listening to the banging. The only thing that saved my whole day were the employees with their kindness the room service checking in on us to make sure we were OK, but the amenities itself were not worth the money that I spent.

For a hotel (which is the hospitality industry, right?) - this has been the most inhospitable experience I have ever had. The staff was consistently unwelcoming and unpleasant (with the exception of the restaurant staff, who were great). In all my interactions with the reception desk, no one ever even smiled. Every detail of checking in and anything else addressed seemed to be a problem where the staff had to go away around the corner to discuss in private with other staff.
I don't appreciate paying the amount I paid for my stay (on top of all the extra charges) to be made to feel like I'm an inconvenience and less than somehow; or like I'm not good for payment.
Finally, while the linens were nice and the room was very clean, the room was nothing like what was shown in the photos online. Let's be real, this was a standard double-bed room, with a balcony and very small bathroom. I am deeply disappointed with the staff and false advertising. We were in town for a funeral and could have done without this unnecessarily stressful experience.

The week before I came. I had called the hotel’s front desk. I asked them specifically if any construction was going on. And if they heard any noise. They assured me that there was no noise or construction going on. I was then connected to the Manager of the pool area. He told me that all that's going on is a little bit of painting and some small drilling, but you don't really hear any noise. I specifically took an ocean front balcony room so I would be able to sit out and enjoy the beautiful view and read my books. It was a total waste of money, because we could not sit out on the balcony at all. From 9:00 in the morning till 5:30 at night. The jackhammering and noise were so loud that it even came into the room. ee couldn't sit there because we were breathing in the spray paint that was being used to spray the building next to us. This was one of the worst trips I ever had. So basically, I only stayed in the hotel at night I was not able to use any of the amenities during the day. If the staff did not lie to me before I came. I would have made arrangements to go to another hotel. But this was intentional subterfuge. Hotel management is a disgrace to society.

I stayed at this hotel for four days, and while the location was great walking distance to the beach and close to lots of shopping the overall experience left a lot to be desired.

The building is outdated and definitely needs some upgrades. The staff were somewhat friendly, but not especially welcoming or helpful. One of the biggest issues was the number of hidden fees. Parking costs $26 per night, and there’s a $26 resort fee for each night as well. Even the continental breakfast isn’t included it’s an additional $20–$30 per person. For what I ended up spending in extra fees, I could have booked a nicer hotel with better amenities and more transparency upfront.

The pool is a nice size, and the beach is conveniently close. The sand was clean, but the water had a lot of seaweed, so it wasn’t ideal for swimming. On top of that, there was a large construction project going on next door, which made it noisy and less relaxing.

In the end, the location is a plus, but between the outdated facilities, hidden charges, and noise, I wouldn’t stay here again. If you're considering this hotel, just be aware that the “base price” is far from what you’ll actually pay.

Beautiful old hotel but needs updating

We stayed only for 1 night. We drove over from Naples with the family for a summer vacation kick-off. If we had booked for longer, we would have changed hotels. This hotel is old which we have no problem with. It's a beautiful old building. But, the carpet was smelly and dirty. The bed mattresses were saggy. There is no vanity in the bathroom to put your things. We a late lunch in the restaurant. The service was excellent. The food was good quality. They should have warned us about the construction on the building next door right next to the pool. We could not sit outside to eat or swim, it was so loud. My daughters were covering their ears. And, it's just not a relaxing experience.

Exceptional Stay at Sea View Hotel – Bal Harbour

My recent stay at the Sea View Hotel in Bal Harbour was truly delightful. The hotel’s prime beachfront location offers stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean, and its classic European-style charm adds a unique touch to the experience.

The rooms are impressively spacious and well-appointed, featuring comfortable beds, ample walk-in closets, and modern amenities. I particularly enjoyed the private balcony, which provided a serene spot to relax and take in the ocean breeze.

The staff at Sea View Hotel were exceptional—friendly, professional, and always ready to assist. From the front desk to housekeeping, everyone contributed to making my stay comfortable and enjoyable.

The hotel’s amenities are top-notch. The Olympic-sized heated pool and the well-maintained private beach area were perfect for unwinding. I also appreciated the on-site dining options; the Terrace Restaurant offered delicious meals with a beautiful ocean view, and the Sea View Coffee Shop was great for a quick bite.

Additionally, the hotel’s proximity to Bal Harbour Shops made it convenient for shopping and dining. The surrounding area is peaceful and upscale, providing a relaxing atmosphere throughout my stay.

Overall, Sea View Hotel exceeded my expectations. Its combination of excellent service, comfortable accommodations, and prime location makes it a standout choice in Bal Harbour. I look forward to returning on my next visit.
