The Beach at Hotel Victor South Beach

"But if you want to stay on Ocean—and be just steps from the busiest slice of the beach—this is a good place to do it"

" For a less expensive option, the Riviera Hotel & Suites South Beach has a more thoroughly boutique vibe with Latin flair plus a free evening cocktail hour"

"A tranquil spa features European treatments, with Anne Sémonin products, and a 500-square-foot Turkish hammam (South Beach’s first)"

"All of its accommodations offer views of the Atlantic Ocean or South Beach, along with custom-designed furnishings and fabrics"

"The coolest part of this deceptively big hotel is the second floor, which features a sexy infinity-edge pool that overlooks Ocean Drive and the beach, and a large outdoor terrace bar that's open until 2 am"

"From this central spot, you can explore the diverse wildlife of nearby bays, state parks and gardens, or simply relax on the beach"

"Some guests complain about its location, across Ocean Drive from the beach, but even guests at the similar Sagamore and Delano have to trek over the dunes to get to their strand"

"Mature guests complain about its noisy location, others its position across Ocean Drive from the beach (you're paying an additional $50 daily for beach chair and umbrella rentals), but even guests at the similar Sagamore and Delano have to trek over the dunes to get to their strand"
