Chotto Matte
launches their FIRST EVER immersive brunch. Taking place every Saturday, they invite you to step into the deep, dark Peruvian jungle among the creepers and climbers as live performers and DJs and created a brunch concept Miami has never seen before... Forget avocado on toast, Chotto Matte’s brunch buffet menu is all about the bold lip-smacking flavours of Nikkei. For $78 per person, guests can enjoy BOTTOMLESS cocktails, paired with three beautiful brunch courses. Choose from the all new Jungled Eggs baked in tomatoes, white beans and feta and Chotto Matte favourites, ceviche, tostaditas and sashimi. The Purple Potato Pancake Stack is not one to miss. Piled high, drizzled in pomegranate syrup and served with eggs and crispy bacon, this is the classic diner dish with a Nikkei bang... Brunch wouldn’t be brunch without bottomless cocktails so let loose and indulge in Frozen Yuzuritas, Bloody Marias and Pisco Sours…

Wendy Finot
Dream Hotel
Extremely kind, helpful, nice staff specially concierge staff (Wendy) was so helpful and nice that words are not enough.
Vachira
Shore Club
In our 2nd day of vacation, my wife lost her phone and became very upset, due to all the valuable information plus precious family pictures. We saw Vachira at her work, and my wife spoke to her for help to use the phone to try to find hers. Vachira went more than the extra mile to help my wife to find her phone and helped her to go together to the last places my wife and I been there, she walked with her in the rain, and then got the Hotel Car to pick up the phone, she even tipped the driver on our behalf. What Vachira did is beyond what every one can do now a days to help others. God Bless her, her approach to manage the issue and her behaviour is indication of good leadership.

Charlie Phynes Garcia

But what sealed the deal for me was their concierge, Charlote "Charlie". She was fabulous. Since I did book this trip last minute, I hadn't had any time to plan any activities. She was a lifesaver! Everything she recommended was great!
