The room itself is fine, but the property is not going to impress you. Pool is adequate, location is great, but the restaurant/lobby/hallways etc. are in need of an upgrade. There is someone stationed in the elevator as one of them didn't work and the other is barely works. You need to knock on the closed doo on the upper floors or phone down to have the elevator come up to get you. It was nice to have beach chairs reserved for us, but the beach towels could have have been better and more of them. For the money this place was less than mid, but the location is key and again the room itself was fine.

Fantastic experience. An exceptionally nice remodeled hotel. Excellent customer service at the desk. Walking distance to dining, shops and the beach. Only downside was that I booked a room with a hot tub - but the hot tub didnt work. This was my only reason for three stars.

Zocean is no way a 4 star property. In a suite, they do not have a sofa bed, but they have two bathroom! Service at the reception only does check-in and check-out. When I raised the point about sofa bed, they stated that if we have a rolling bed we will put it. I had to call Expedia to get addressed. Their internal door to the balcony on 2nd floor would not lock. Why do not they say that the property is under renovation on 2nd floor. I will never go to Zocean again. Overall bad experience

We picked the spa suite because of the jacuzzi on the balcony. The jacuzzi was dirty and also the jets were turned off so we could not use the hot tub. We would have opted for a different hotel or room to save money had we of known this.

Huge rooms right off the beach

This is a perfectly located hotel, one block off the beach with beach chair services and right in the thick of south beach. It has very long corridors and is showing some of its age, but it is a great value and the rooms are some of the largest I’ve stayed in in Miami.

Very run down and in need of refurbishment. Has gone down in quality since i last stayed here a few years ago. An erroneous charge was placed on the bill. I could never get through directly to someone and left multiple messages which were never returned. On the plus side the location is great. However I won’t be returning.

Below Average "Four-star" Hotel

Overall we had a mediocre stay here at Z Ocean. Upon walking in through the breezeway, it was very dirty and not setup for use. It appears that some homeless people had slept there the night before based on items/trash left behind. The room was average with minimal amenities (no extra pillows or towels, had to ask for coffee pods.) The biggest disappointment was the "spa" located on our rooftop patio. It was more of a soak tub and not the personal hot tub that was advertised. When we arrived, it was filthy with human hair still on floor of the tub so it was clear that they do not clean these. I would not consider this a four-star hotel and definitely feel misled by this rating. I would not stay here again.

the photos on Expedia unfortunately no longer reflect the current state of the hotel, everything is a bit run down! Staff not particularly interested in guest service. A queen bed for 3 adults😩???! The terrace with the whirlpool unfortunately cannot be used at all as there is so much noise from the next room, probably a broken whirlpool!!! It was not possible to open a window! The supposedly included breakfast for 2 people (there were 3 of us?) is just a coupon for $20, which is not nearly enough, the portion of salmon we ordered is a tiny slice! So you might as well have breakfast somewhere else! Coffee machine in the room but the coffee is unfortunately inedible.

We spent 4 nights at ZOcean and I have to say “not exactly as advertised” as the suite we stayed in had roof access but the hot tubs are not running, the furniture was lacking cushions on the patio, the actual room was in disrepair and the kitchen / dinette had a plastic plat a fork and a knife. Not what you read when you book the “upgrade”. The folks at the hotel are nice enough but the hotel has not been invested in to be at the advertised level for what looks like 10 years. Very disappointed in the accommodations. On the positive side it’s in a great location near dinning and the beach.

The hotel is very old and poorly maintained. The gym is a joke. It looks like a dungeon. There is almost no equipment. The TV system is from the previous century. If it works. Not a very presentable establishment at all.
