Top South Beach Hotel Reviews

South End Retreat with Rooftop Deck, Pool & Steps to Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful house and amazing location! Comfortable for our group of 7 friends as we each had our own space. Nice kitchen and sitting areas."

Royal Palms Motel

8/10 Good

"This is a cute little motel. I had a nice stay there. I had a vehicle and I was able to park right in front of the door to my room. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was small but the space overall was very cute and charming. I walked to the beach, restaurants and bars, and the location was great for that. I would recommend for a cost conscious travel motel."

Private Pool Oasis! - Palm Terrace

8/10 Good

"This was an older beach house than we thought from the pics.The downstairs bathrooms were not updated but were clean. The kitchen only had 5 forks for a 4 bedroom and we had to purchase forks.When we checked in, the towelInventory was low but our property manager did respond quickly with more plush towels and a new grate for the grill. WeEnjoyed the pool, the living space and the sunroom. Beds were comfortable and everyone had a good time! Thanks."

Romantic Beach Hideaway ,Private Indoor Hot Tub, Only blocks to River Beaches

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great week, we had an amazing time. The hot tub really helped with the sore muscles from climbing the lighthouse and walking around Savannah. The hosts and their son were super friendly. We had everything we needed. There was a binder on the property that had details about local restaurants and spots. Super helpful and unexpected."
