The Pool at Setai Hotel Miami

"The garden area with reflecting pools is lovely, but not as cool as the pool area with a bar serving $18 chicken sandwiches to celebrity clientele"

"This opulent, all-suite hotel feels like an Asian museum: serene and beautiful, with heavy granite furniture lifted by orange accents, warm candlelight, and the soft bubble of seemingly endless ponds complemented by three oceanfront infinity pools (heated to different temperatures) that further spill onto the beach's velvety sands"

"Striking but sober mood-lit design; impeccable service; huge, immaculate rooms; three pools, each a different temperature; and a prime beachside location make the Setai one of the best hotels in Miami"

"Hotel guests can cool off or warm up in one of the three pools, each set at a different temperature, and enjoy complimentary yoga on the silky white sands of Miami Beach"

"Three side-by-side infinity pools ensure there are no crowds when you swim"

"For those who prefer to float without the salt and sand, there are three outdoor pools, which are all set at different temperatures"

"Asian touches (antique jade, teak accents) throughout this "very sophisticated" property yield a "peaceful" ambiance that extends to the "spacious", "sexy" art deco rooms (featuring "top-of-the-line" handmade beds with Frette linens, Bose sound systems and rainfall showers), the Pacific Rim--themed spa and the "quiet", "sublime" pool area; "amazing" dining options include a "fabulous" Sunday brunch with live jazz and unlimited champagne, and the hotel's "attentive" yet "unobtrusive" staffers help provide an experience that fans call "unmatched"

"The hotel's three Art Deco pools are maintained at different temperatures to give sun worshippers a variety of places to take a dip, while the beach and Atlantic beckon just beyond the property"

"Outdoors, three infinity-edged swimming pools are maintained at 75, 80, and 90 degrees, respectively"
