Crescent Resort on South Beach

No parking, no pool, no washer and dryer, no ice or soda machines. I would not call this a resort! What a dump, stuck in the fifty’s! Everything’s shot! Handle for shower came off in my hands! only thing going for it is location!

Good location and friendly staff. I exchanged this through my timeshare. I have to say it was substandard of what Diamond Resorts usually offers. We had a view of the alley. The furniture is worn and the kitchen cabinets are old and chipping. I question it’s overall cleanliness-​the microwave and refrigerator were covered with fingerprints upon arrival. Crumbs on the counter –Ewww! Since we didn’t have a view, we were disappointed to find the rooftop clear of any furniture.

3 ½ stars.
WiFi sucks here!!! However, location is good. Just across from the beach and lots of restaurants nearby. This isn’t a «resort»; it’s an apartment building converted into a time-​share.

Very nice staff. Nice size room with contemporary furnishings. The only thing missing was a pool. Across the street from the beach = awesome!!!

Stayed here for one night. It was a spacious one bedroom suite with a kitchen (fridge, freezer, sink, dish washer). I love our tiffany blue room with the painting. We were on the second floor looking into the Hilton resort beside us. For some reason around 7AM there is a loud screeching metal colliding sound like a dumpster crushing some items? Just be aware there is no valet. It was discontinued last month apparently so you will need to park in a garage. Don’t make the mistake of idling waiting for valet… I ended up paying $ 50 to park at the M&G standard for 24 hours.

Had a great stay here for the week of Jan.7−13^th. Jacques was one of the nicest workers we met while we were there. I highly recommend staying at the Crescent, the rooms were nice and the staff was awesome. Thanks Jacques for a great time!

My best friend and I stayed at the Crescent for the 2014 holidays in room 3403 on the fourth floor. The fourth floor has a nice veranda overlooking the beach with lounge chairs. The rooms have personality and are very quaint and comfy. European style furnishings and a fully functioning kitchen were a plus. Overall the hotel is nice and right across from the beach. The front desk agent Jacque was very welcoming and friendly. He gave us an excellent recommendation to a sandwich bar Sandwicherie which turned out to be a hit.
A few improvements: we were constantly sneezing and itching due to dust mites in the bedding, there was no conditioner in the bathroom and only one soap in the room. The front desk only answered the phone sometimes after ringing for a long time. The ac unit is extremely noisy like a plane taking off runway. There is no alarm/​clock radio in the room.
The bed was a bit soft, but comfortable. The bathroom needs an organizer to hold the tissues and towels next to the sink so the sink area is not so cramped.
The proximity to the beach compensates for the lack of pool. Overall it is a cute hotel with personality that needs some minor improvements. Good for a long stay.

My husband and I were sitting outside, we had a view of the front lobby and sitting area. As we are sitting here, a couple and a front desk man walk outside. The wife was yelling at the front desk man repeatedly telling him he was wrong and he needed to listen to her. He explained which window went to each room and the specific ocean view they would have.
The front desk guy stayed very calm and was doing his best to try and calm her down. This had been going on for 15+ minutes.
Even though my husband and I are stayed next door at The penguin, I would choose the Crescent next time. Specifically because the way the front desk man handled the situation.
The name of the front desk man is Jacque. Very polite every time we spoke.

Resistant and ill-​mannered staff. Bugs everywhere (refer to the pictures). Non-​working toilets and showers. We were there for three nights and on the second day, our room was switched out and given to other people who came into the room when we were still there, compromising our SAFETY. After management was told, they have some apathetic excuse stating that the trainee did it on ‘accident’, which the management should be accountable for in any case. I get that she’s new, but all they truly do is give excuses, don’t apologize, and act like it was our fault for not checking with the front desk EACH night too see if we were still checked into the room. Don’t waste your precious time, energy, and money. Dishonest people run this place.

Great location, great staff, and clean! I recently went to Miami from LA for a girls’ weekend. The rooms were very roomy and clean. The beach is right across the street and busy bars and restaurants all around. In the room, it was quiet and all the outside noise stayed outside. The staff went out of their way. We checked out early, but didn’t have our flight back home until later that evening. We were able to keep our luggage at the hotel with no issues. I would recommend this place to anyone!

My father in law stayed here and was not happy. Drunk people make lots of noise coming in at 5 in the morning on a Saturday night and the walls are so thing you could hear them inside your room. The view he had was to the building next to him, it had a crust of dust under the sofa and other furniture. The elevator was small and only my baby’s stroller fit in with me squeezed in behind it. They have lounge chairs outside so you can just chill and people watch.

I love my timeshare!!!
