Ocean View Junior Suite

As the name says, the suite has an ocean view over the Atlantic. Faena Miami Beach is an oceanfront hotel at 3201 Collins Avenue in Mid-Beach. The suite is light and calm, so the sea is part of the room's atmosphere through the day.

The Ocean View Junior Suite is 890 sq. ft. with one bedroom. The bedroom is arranged around the king bed. A separate living area has a desk, desk chair and laptop workspace, so it works for a longer stay as well as a short escape.

The suite has 1 king bed with premium bedding and sleeps up to 3 guests. A rollaway or extra bed can be added for a surcharge, and a free crib is available for little ones. Children 13 and over are charged as adults, while policies for younger children vary by booking.

The private bathroom has a rainfall showerhead and a shower. It comes with bathrobes, towels, free toiletries and a hair dryer. Toothbrush and toothpaste are available on request.

Faena Miami Beach is not all-inclusive, but the nightly resort fee ($65 plus 14% tax) covers a lot. It includes access to Tierra Santa's wet spa and the fitness center, and chaise lounges, umbrella and towel service at the pool and beach. It also covers a digital newspaper, unlimited local calls, WiFi, a welcome beverage and use of the house car on a first-come basis. Dining and spa treatments are charged separately.

It suits couples and small families. The suite has a king bed, a separate living area, a free crib and an optional rollaway bed (surcharge), and connecting rooms are available for larger groups. The hotel welcomes children of all ages, with a kids' program and babysitting for a surcharge. There are several infinity pools, including a family pool and a lap pool. Pool loungers are reserved for hotel guests.

The suite has soundproofed rooms for a restful night. Housekeeping comes daily with turndown service. When you want to stay in, room service runs 24 hours. Veranda serves breakfast from 7:00am to 11:00am with pool and ocean views.

Everything is on property. The hotel has direct beach access to its private beach, and the public beach is open to non-guests, though loungers are reserved for guests. Tierra Santa Healing House, with a hammam and oceanfront fitness center, is on the third floor. Dining includes Los Fuegos by Francis Mallmann, Pao by Paul Qui and Tree of Life. The Museum of Ice Cream Miami is about 400 feet away, and 36th Street Beach is about a 5-minute walk.
