Bluegreen Vacations Solara Surfside Resort - Hotel in Surfside - 8801 Collins Ave, USA

I recently stayed at the Bluegreen Vacations Solara Surfside Resort and had a wonderful experience. The resort is located right on the beach, which made for breathtaking ocean views from our room. The accommodations were spacious, clean, and modern, with a fully equipped kitchen that was perfect for preparing meals. The resort amenities were impressive; we enjoyed the pool area, which was well-maintained and never overcrowded. There were also barbecue grills available near the pool, which we used for a couple of evening cookouts. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout our stay, offering great recommendations for local dining and activities. One of the highlights was the direct access to the beach, where we spent lazy afternoons lounging in the sun and taking long walks along the shoreline. The resort provided beach chairs and umbrellas, making it convenient to relax by the water. Overall, our experience at Solara Surfside was relaxing and enjoyable. The combination of comfortable accommodations, stunning beachfront location, and excellent service made it a memorable vacation. I would recommend this resort to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway in a beautiful setting.

As a Bluegreen owner I have always loved this resort. Rooms are spacious. Nice kitchen , and nicely decorated. Staff is always friendly and professional. Nice to see in taking security measures lime the wrist bands. Nice to see BBQ working.

I have been a Bluegreen member since 2008 and have stayed at Solara Surfside in the past with my family and that experience was great. This experience was better on my own because parking is convenient, the rooms have been updated and the care is excellent. The parking guy Felipe and the guest services supervisor Morris was great also. Buen Trabajo ✨️✨️

Overall, we enjoyed our time at Solara Surfside. The pool and easy beach access was great. I loved that you get an umbrella and 2 chairs from 9-5 daily for free; if you need more, you can request additional items for a cost. We used the gas grills outside to make dinner a few times which was great. The lobby also has complimentary coffee every morning from 6-11. They have a game room, a fitness center, and laundry rooms on site. Some things that weren't great was the parking and check in process. We knew that there was a $20 daily parking fee before arriving, but we didn't realize that the valet was mandatory. This was a bit bothersome and inconvenient. Usually rooms are ready early at many BG locations, but the front desk was dragging their feet. We could use the amenities while we waited, but they didn't try to get us in any sooner; it seemed intentional since the hotel was empty. The hot tub was also closed the entire week we were there. Needless to say, I'd still recommend staying!

The place is very clean, however, it seems more like a hotel than a resort. There was no restaurant at all. The condo unit was fine except we got a one bedroom with no balcony. Our windows faced the next building and was so close I couldn't even see the sky. I always need a balcony if I am staying on a beach. The beach was great though and they provided umbrella and chairs at no cost. The pool was actually too warm...wasn't really refreshing. The staff was fine.

The views are horrible, none to the sea or the city, rooms are too the sides of the building. I love the fact that we are facing the dilapidated next-door apartment building instead of the remains of the collapsed building to the south. Rooms are quiet and very nice, as with any bluegreen resort, full kitchen, a nice balcony, queen sofa bed. It's a little tight, and the furniture won't even fit when you open the sofa. Advertised to sleep 4, but scarcely. No parking on site, just valet, and they charge you daily for it. No food or convenience store on site. Just a vending machine and free coffee machine. Play room for kids, gym, a very small pool and chairs and umbrella offered at the beach.

The condo is fine; location is good. The only complaint I have is that the hallway smells like someone was smoking marijuana. We told the front desk now 4 times and every time we leave or come back it still smells. Thankfully it is a short stay. Won’t be staying at this condo again. I really expected better BlueGreen.

This resort on Miami beach was a beautiful place to stay and enjoy the fun things Miami has to offer. It was clean, well staffed and the valet parking was a nice perk. It is $20 a day for the valet parking. When you arrive there will be a line to wait for valet to take your car and then after that you have to get all your luggage before he drives away. There are stairs right there you have to take stuff up in order to get luggage inside. Was a bit of a hassle to be honest. I did see other folks receiving assistance from staff with putting bags on a dolly, but we did not get any such assistance. We were ok though since we only had one bag each and a couple small carry bags. The lobby was clean as were halls leading to rooms. Staff were all pleasant and helpful. We chose to not get room service since we just stayed the weekend. The room was large, and very clean. The bed super comfy and the shower nice hot water. The balcony was a pleasant perk overlooking the pool and beach. Our side did overlook the accident location next door of condo that collapsed. So, if you don't want to overlook that, be aware to request other room side. There was coffee in lobby in the morning between 6-11. Complimentary and it was good. Espresso was right on. The pool was clean and had towels available with your room key and also a bathroom by pool. The pool is 3'-8' deep. I did not see anyone with floaties or noodles. So they may not be allowed. Beach, grills and outside games were all walking distance from pool. Stairs leading from pool deck down to beach path were a bit steep so be careful. You will need assistance if you have small children, a wagon or a stroller. Would be difficult to navigate by yourself. The game room on 1st floor was fun. We took advantage this and played all games. Pool, air hockey, foosball and corn hole. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would stay again. Thank you!
