WPBdiver Posted September 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Just returned from this property and was very pleased. If you are familiar with Kimpton properties and their boutique properties, this Confidante aligns well. Standard rooms are about 350 square feet with aking or two double beds. Larger rooms are available with a king or two queens. Since we were traveling with a third person, I called the property and was able to obtain an upgrade for $70 per night. The upgrade allowed for a partial ocean view of the Atlantic (and downtown Miami if you are on the south side of the building) with a walk out balcony that was nice. Honor bar in room though expensive. Property has a restaurant (or two I think) and small nightclub, though tends to be on the high side dollar-wise. We ate breakfast at the restaurant only one day out of three. Amenities on the property include two pools (a family pool and adult pool - really no difference between the two), very attentive poolside service, chaise lounger chairs, rental cabanas (also on the beach), food and beverage service to the beach from hotel staff, a 24 hour gym, a spa with salon services, a nicely decorated pool area attractive seating with table tennis, a bar, a many shade umbrellas, and poolside towel service (if it rains, they come and change out your towels on the lounge chairs which was nice). Also free loaner bikes was a nice touch. Rental cabana on the peach was $65 for the day and well worth it (came with two outside lounge chairs and room enough to fit three in the cabana). Spanning the rear of the property between the pool and beach is a boardwalk that doesn't belong to the property, but rather it would appear belongs to the county as the boardwalk strteched between many properties and is flanked by mangrove trees. Some things to note: resort fee is $29/day and only parking is valet at $42/day. All restaurant, bar, and beach/pool food and beverage tabs automatically include a 20% tip. There is a gourmet domut shop called the Salty Donut near the pool area. Open 8 am to 2 am, it is a must try (this is not affiliated with the property). Would I stay here again? Absolutely. The staff is friendly and attentive and the property is well maintained. My family enjoyed the property very much. The property was re-branded in April 2016 as the Confidante - a Hyatt managed property. Formerly it was known as the "Thompson" so web searches may yield better results under that name until the web updates its records and information. Link to comment
thereuare Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay, and from the sound of it, hopefully we will see more of this brand from Hyatt in the future.
