Why we recommend it
The Goodtime Hotel is a 266-room lifestyle hotel on Washington Avenue in the southern part of South Beach, with a tropical style and a pool club at its heart. It is part of the Marriott Bonvoy programme, which matters if you collect points, and it offers rooms plus a specialty suite.
The pool area is the hotel's social centre: the hotel describes it as a tropical chic swim club, restaurant and bar, with all-day dining steps from the water. The Restaurant at The Goodtime serves meals inside the hotel, and The Library is one of its lounge spaces. There are also meeting and event spaces for groups.
Rooms are described by the hotel as neatly designed, and the hotel suits travellers who plan to spend most of their time at the pool, on the beach or out exploring. Marriott Bonvoy elite members can receive extra poolside perks, such as cabana upgrades on certain days, so check the current terms if you hold status.
The Goodtime suits groups of friends, couples and younger travellers looking for a lively but stylish base. It is less suited to guests who want a quiet retreat, especially at weekends when the pool club is busy. Families may enjoy the pool during the day, but the atmosphere is more grown-up in the evening.
If you are visiting rather than staying, check the hotel website for restaurant and pool club reservations before you go. For quieter sleep, ask for a room away from the pool when you reserve, and plan to use the trolley or ride-share for longer trips. Marriott Bonvoy members should add their membership number when booking so that any stay benefits are applied, and confirm current offers directly with the hotel.
The hotel is at 601 Washington Avenue. South Pointe Park and Joe's Stone Crab at 11 Washington Avenue are a short walk south, the beach is a few blocks east, and the Art Deco district and the Wolfsonian-FIU are within walking distance to the north. The Miami Beach trolley is a convenient way to reach Lincoln Road and Collins Park. Reservations can be made online or on (786) 687-0234.
