Juliana's Reviews: Sagamore Hotel

SAGAMORE
THE ART HOTEL

Main door

I stayed at the Sagamore twice and really liked it. I think they need to keep better care of their furniture and details like paint and definitely lighting in the bathrooms but overall, a good hotel.

What I like best is the size of the hotel and its perfect location right on the beach. It is a relatively small hotel without feeling tight or cramped. The rooms are spacious enough, not too big with empty areas around the furniture, not tight and they are all suites with a dividing door between bedroom and sitting room/kitchen. I usually don't like suites with kitchens in them but this is an exception to me. I don't know if because it's a hotel by the beach that I like having a kitchen available in my room, I think that it is mainly because it doesn't look or feel like a kitchen in a hotel room. The rooms are very nicely decorated so the whole combo bedroom-sitting area-kitchen just fits in.

The hotel service is very friendly, helpful and welcoming. If you haven't read my review on the Ritz Carlton you should understand that, I usually expect good service from where I stay. Why not, right? As with everything in life, it's only better to provide good quality service in any area.

Very nice pool with a little shallow part, great to just sit in the water refreshing from the crazy South Beach heat while having a drink and chatting with strangers also hanging out in the pool, friends, boyfriend or family.

The hotel has beach chairs and umbrellas for their customers staying at the hotel (I think they offer two chairs per room and you can rent more if needed, or just sit on a towel on the sand) located on the beach right in front of the hotel.

The only bad thing about the Sagamore is their restaurant. I haven't had anything good off their menus yet and, it's pretty costly. Maybe that's why I liked having the kitchen in the room.

Make sure to check for good rates during low season, it's a huge difference in price!

There are modern art pieces spread through the hotel rooms and it all amazingly flows really well. I never felt like I was in a museum or a crazy art collector's home.
