Plymouth Hotel Miami Review

Plymouth Hotel Miami Review

South Beach Miami is a beautiful, lively and charming place that will always leave you wanting more. This beach city one of the most sought-after summer vacation places in the country and it’s no secret why. It’s famous for its Cuban influences, luxury hotels, sugar-white sands, outdoor dining, fresh seafood, bustling art shows and proximity to nightlife and the beach all at once. It’s the kind of place you can visit over and over again without ever getting tired of it. 

I’ve personally been visiting the South Beach, Miami area for years and still have so much left to see! But I’ve been able to experience a lot of great parts that make for a very well-rounded trip, especially when visiting for the first time. There’s amazing restaurants and bars, colorful art deco buildings, classic Miami palm trees, beach clubs, bowling alleys and many other fun activities for both locals and tourists. 

I’ve stayed at 3 hotels in South Beach so far and The Plymouth Hotel definitely takes the cake as my favorite one.

Plymouth Hotel Miami Amenities

I’m a sucker for good amenities at a hotel. Thankfully, The Plymouth has several things to look forward to when staying here. This includes private beach access, the classic Art Deco pool, water sports, a fully-equipped gym, yoga classes, a barefoot bootcamp class, massages, baby accommodations, pet-friendly options and shopping opportunities.

Private beaches

One of the great aspects of staying at a Miami beach hotel, is the access to the private beaches. The Plymouth private beach is between The W and The Setai, where you can catch a ride on The Plymobile, or walk along Collins Park on your way. The hotel also has an exclusive Plymouth beach house where you have the luxury of grabbing a lounge chair and towels to enjoy your day on the beach. 

1940s Art Moderne pool

Obviously, one of the main attractions to the Plymouth Hotel is that iconic 1940s Art Moderne pool. With perfect color schemes and Instagram-worthy aesthetics. In fact, this pool made its way to the top 15 jaw-dropping pools in Miami by The New York Times. With its harlequin tiles, peach and brown palette, private cabanas, striped umbrellas and pool bar. This was also my favorite part of the hotel. And honestly the reason I wanted to stay here. The pool area is simply stunning and will make you feel completely relaxed while also getting your buzz on and listening to up-beat music played through the speakers. I suggest requesting a room with a pool view. So you can get a good shot of the pool from the room. It’s just to die for and so Miami!

Water sport activities

In addition to the wonderful access to the beach and pool, The Plymouth can also help arrange water sport activities like jet skiing, kayaking, paddle boarding, parasailing and more. If you’re looking to have a good mix of relaxation and adventure while in Miami, I highly suggest booking at least 1 activity.

Gym

If fitness and health are important to you while you travel like it is for me, then you’ll love to hear about the 24-hour local gym on property. Featuring all equipment and Peleton bikes needed for the perfect workout. 

Yoga and bootcamp classes

As if the water sports and gym aren’t enough, The Plymouth also offers yoga and bootcamp classes. You can enjoy yoga classes on the beach at sunset. And a run on the beach through the bootcamp. Due to COVID, these classes are currently unavailable. But will hopefully be back soon!

Massages

If you’re more into relaxing then you’re also in luck because The Plymouth offers poolside or in-room massages. Be sure to contact The Plymouth directly when booking, to schedule your appointment. 

Baby accommodations

As for baby accommodations, the Plymouth offers in-room needs like cribs, toys & high-chairs as well as Itavi Childcare program for those looking to explore Miami a bit without the kids. The Itavi Method is a proven program engaging kids with positivity, productivity. And a fun, dynamic and enriching experience for kids. Children will benefit from a variety of constructive and educational touch-points including play, learning, art and reading. This package includes a one 4-hour session but longer sessions are available upon request. You can book here.

Plymouth Hotel Miami Review

The Plymouth Hotel is hands down my favorite hotel in South Beach, Miami as of now. It has the perfect combination of luxury, amenities, laid-back atmospheres, vibrant colors, beautiful aesthetics and also plenty to do all hours of the day. We stayed at the hotel for 2 nights and were able to enjoy the room, watch movies, swim in the pool, listen to music, have a glass of champagne at happy hour, eat delicious sushi at the restaurant and be greeted by the kind staff throughout the stay. 

The poolside and color scheme were most memorable during my experience. And also truly made for a great time. I was able to get stunning photos here that capture the Miami vibe so accurately. I also think compared to other Miami hotels I’ve stayed at, this has the most variety and high-quality options to make your stay a well-rounded one. Overall, I would suggest this hotel to couples, friends and anyone looking for a classic and classy South Beach, Miami experience.

Welcome to Gloucester, Massachusetts 🌊🦞🛟  Gloucester is one of the most beautiful coastal places on the north shore and one of my favorite places in general! There’s so much to do year-round but summer and early fall is when the area really shines.  Here’s a few things I suggest doing:  🏨Stay or grab a meal and a cocktail at @beauport_hotel - It is hands down one of my favorite places in Mass. A pool or beach day here will make all your summer dreams come true  🚶‍♀️Check out the coffee shops and boutique stores downtown - Right within walking distance from Beauport!  🚘 Drive along Atlantic Road - A scenic route that winds along the coast, offering breathtaking views of the ocean and rocky coastline.  ⛱️ Visit Niles Beach - A popular spot for swimming, sunbathing, and picnicking in Gloucester. The beach is located in a quiet, residential area and offers stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean.  🛥️ Book a boating excursion - Gloucester is a great place to go boating, and there are many companies that offer boating excursions for tourists. You can choose from a variety of options, including whale watching, fishing, and sightseeing tours.  🏰 Explore Hammond Castle - A medieval-style castle located on the coast of Gloucester. The castle was built in the 1920s by John Hays Hammond Jr., a wealthy inventor, and features an impressive collection of art and antiques.  ⚓️ Check out Fisherman’s Memorial - A statue located in Gloucester that pays tribute to the city’s fishing industry. The statue features a fisherman looking out to sea, and it is a popular spot for taking photos.  🪨 Check out Rafe’s Chasm - A natural wonder located on the coast of Gloucester. The chasm is a narrow crevice in the rocks that leads to a small cove where you can see the waves crashing against the shore.  🦪 Get dinner at Seaport Grille - A popular waterfront restaurant in Gloucester that serves fresh seafood and other local specialties. The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating with stunning views of the harbor!  ✔️Save this for your adventures on the north shore of Massachusetts!  #northshorema #gloucester #gloucesterma #capeann #

Comment “Sail” and I’ll send you a link.⛵️  Soaking in all the South Shore summer days while we can, which means mid-day beach visits with the floof. In love with this golden retriever tote I was gifted made of recycled Sails from @seabagsmaine.  Love the style, durability, water resistant feature, and how much it holds for our adventures. It’s mostly to fit all of Morgan’s things.🙊  #southshorema #coastalliving

A little about me as we head into what I like to call Cozy Season in New England.☕️  I have tried my best to show up a little less curated lately as it’s a style of content I’m not super seasoned in. For the majority of my content creation journey, I’ve focused on travel & experiences, which often leads to a more polished style. I love creating travel guides and itineraries for you all but I also love showing up as I am and sharing more of the every day.  If you love New England, coastal living, and all things cozy, then you’re in the right place.
