We spent almost a week at Villa Paradiso and were very pleased. Its location is optimal. The hotel is a block away from Ocean Dr. and the beach and within minutes walking distance from other great spots like Espanola Way or Lincoln Mall. If you have a car, there is a parking garage just a block away by 13th Street... more

This was my second stay at Villa Paradiso and it was just as pleasant as the first. If anything, my room was cleaner and in better condition than my last visit two years ago. The location is superb, on Collins Avenue in the heart of South Beach, a block from the beach, within easy walking distance to Ocean Drive and... more

The location of this hotel couldn't be better. It is only a block away from the beach, and you're right in the middle of the South Beach atmosphere. The hotel is in it's own little rainforest which has chairs and tables with candles on them so you can relax outside. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The rooms are... more

Overall, our stay at Villa Paradiso was great. As others have said, the room was large, and included a kitchen. The trappings were basic - small TV, basic bedding, no internet. The room was clean enough, except for the couch, which was stained and cheap. Bed was fine though. Location was SUPERB for seeing South Beach on foot. There was... more

(considering we're young professionals on a budget) and cute look- very apartment like look to the place .But this is where the positive part ends This actually sounds like a... more

If you want to be in the heart of South Beach then Villa Paradiso is in a great location. Loads of restaurants and bars are nearby, as is the beach. We shared a large studio with two double beds between four of us which certainly made this a cheap option. The room was basic but clean and fine. We had... more

This place far surpassed any other hotel we've stayed in South Beach. It is not the Ritz, but we can't afford the Ritz. Many SoBe rooms are dingy, overpriced and run by surly people. This place was different. The staff was a little dippy, but they got the job done. The rooms are converted apartments so they are not sleek,... more

Me and my wife stayed at the Villa Paradiso for three nights in May 2007. We stayed in a small studio, but the studio was actually quite big! We arrived on memorial day, so South Beach was crowded with partying people and cruising cars playing hip-hop. During our first night, some other guests on the hotel had a party which... more

The rooms open up to a narrow patio that on my evening was filled with people drinking and singing till near midnight. The stairway up to my room smelled. The room itself was OK; an older apartment look that was fairly clean and functional. Only one window opened so I had to run the AC to get ventilation and drown... more
