When we booked our stay at the Nautilus we were not aware of renovations being done while there until 2 weeks prior. By that time it was too late to book anywhere else due to it being an F1 weekend. The hotel kindly waived our extra fee to be paid upon arriving and offered free beach umbrellas and free breakfasts for the duration. When we arrived we were stunned on how major the reno’s were. The hotel entrance was closed off to only being a hall, the pool area was in disarray, and we upon arrival were advised the water would be turned off from approximately 9-3 each day.
We had no other place to go and asked what more they could do for us. We received another 50% off our stay. We had an enjoyable stay, the restaurant staff were very accommodating, as were housekeeping and reception. The beach was beautiful with full access. Once the reno’s are done I wouldn’t hesitate to go back and even with this current stay we had a great F1 vacation. Expedia was quick to refund our 50% off as well.

Just Stay away until repairs are done! I blame Expedia for not telling me the hotel is under construction/ repair when booking. I got email a day before checkin but it was too late to react. This killed the experience (my kid thoroughly disappointed ).

Then $10 for can of coke at that make shift restaurant !! Rip off…

Staff was curtious - esp at the beach. Reception as well.

The entire hotel is torn apart for a major renovation. Bars, cabanas, lobby, and workout room are all closed. Construction noise, drills, jackhammers, etc. begins early in the morning. Construction materials, and temporary walls and fences are everywhere. The best part though was that our room only had cold water. This hotel should not be open during such a massive renovation!!

We didn’t find out about the hotel being under renovations until after the fact but the staff did a nice job although there is no bar currently just beer and wine beachside and no dinner or drinks after 3pm so if you’re by the beach you have to leave to get drinks or food. A lot of noise in the AM but overall the hotel is clean and beds are comfortable. Always been one of my favorite places to stay. I hope they wrap up the renovations soon.

The hotel was undergoing full construction and renovations. There was nothing mentioned about this condition from neither hotels.com or from the direct page of the hotel website. We paid a lot of money to be at this location and it was totally unacceptable by any standard means of accommodation or experience. Works, demolition noise, the site was completely ridiculous - to leave NY for supposedly a relaxing place and instead getting stuck with this situation.

The hotel is under renovations and all the pictures you see on internet are not real! The pool area is not nice, there’s construction everywhere, it was not heated, it closes at 4. There’s no bar, the restaurant is tiny. I’m sure this hotel will look great after all the renovations end.
On the other hand the room was clean, the staff was friendly.
But right now it is definitely a good option if you’re looking for a hotel with amenities.

The property is not operative; restaurant closed, bar closed, gym closed; pool and beach service only available for a few hours.
The staff at a temporary front desk were extremely apologetic and helpful, but there was nothing they could do; except warn us about the conditions and noise due to construction.
Extremely disappointed that this not disclosed anywhere. We wasted a good part of a day to find an alternative solution.

After reviewing many hotels in the area we took a chance on Nautilus and so glad we did! The hotel had upscale vibes, beautiful pool area and private beach area with free beach chairs. The staff were so incredibly friendly, helpful and considerate. It’s been a long time since we’ve experienced that level of welcome. There was construction at the hotel next door which was noisy by the pool during work hours during the week, but it honestly wasn’t that bad and we of course had the option to go to the beach. It was also very family friendly which we appreciated.

No air conditioning for the entire 5th floor day 1 - pool shut down by 5pm - teenagers and young adults kicked out of just sitting by pool. $300 security deposit per room - we had 3 rooms $49 resort fee for half day pool and you have to rent umbrella by the ocean.

We have stayed many times at the Nautilus and the staff is always friendly and helpful at the Hotel but the hotel and the hotel next store are both under construction and the pool area noise was so loud it made it impossible to relax. We also needed to switch our room due to the noise. It should have been disclosed that they were under construction at the time we booked the stay so they did give me a credit on our last night as we checked out early.

During our stay, Dec25, there was major construction at the hotel next to it, as well as at the entire back side of this hotel. At around 8am, expect extreme noise all around, like sleeping at a construction site. The hotel itself was okay, old but smells good and the staff is very friendly and helpful. I think there should definitely have been some fair warning of the construction though. Would not recommend for this reason.

I booked the Nautilus Sonesta months in advance for Miami Art Week to give my girlfriend her first real Miami Beach experience. Instead, this hotel managed to deliver one of the worst stays I’ve ever had.

A few weeks before arrival, the hotel suddenly informed us our reserved room was under construction and downgraded us to a room without a balcony. They initially offered an extremely small discount, and only after multiple back-and-forth emails did they increase it slightly, but still nowhere near acceptable.

Once we finally got into the room, all we could hear was blaring reggaeton and constant construction banging from morning through the day. The shower wouldn’t get warm; we had to run it for over an hour. Then the sink clogged and backed up, and the toilet began overflowing. When we called reception, they told us to “run both at the same time,” which made things worse.
They switched our room, but the new one had the same issues: 45 minutes to an hour for warm water, barely any water pressure—my girlfriend could hardly wash her hair. And to make things even worse, as she was getting out of the shower, window washers were staring into the room, pointing and laughing at her in her towel. Completely unacceptable.
The hotel’s idea of compensation a few drink vouchers.
For a property that markets itself as a high-end, historic Miami Beach hotel, customer service, and maintenance are nowhere near the standard they pretend to be. Our stay should have been fully comped.TERRIBLE

Led us to believe this would be short turn around. We went for lunch and checked back…nothing…we waited for 5 hours. Check in was 4pm and we waited until 4:30p having arrived at hotel at 11:30am. Absolutely terrible customer service. Hotel was beautiful and grounds exceptional. Pool and restaurant staff awesome.
