Editorial Review for The Standard – by Rick Munarriz

In Short
Terrazzo floors, low-slung couches, and marbled walls set the tone in the spacious lobby of what was once the Lido Spa. Stainless steel elevators take chic guests who have somehow tired of the noisy SoBe scene to one of the 105 European-appointed rooms. Biscayne Bay views abound as many rooms have outdoor tub gardens for the inner exhibitionists. The lavish spa and chlorine-free plunge pool are never too far away when you crave social relaxation.

Stayed in the Wet room for 3 nights due to the deal I found at their website. The room was amazing, especially the outdoor terrace that overlooked the ocean. I've never felt so relaxed in my entire life.

We are Miami residents and were really excited to spend a day at the Standard for my wife's birthday....What a drag, we should have stayed home and rented a movie instead. Not all was bad, the place is definitely uber-hip...but the spa service was tremendously disappointing. We're no strangers to massages and have been to a spa or two so when we read the articles and heard the buzz, we couldn't wait to go. Where to start...my parents bought a pedicure as a surprise present for my wife (they found out where we were going). I expected when we walked in that someone would let us know...didn't happen until we were checking out and I had to ask. The massages were ok, nothing phenomenal. My wife enjoyed her facial and I enjoyed lying in the Hamam. The worst part of the entire experience was the completely disinterested service. For most people, a vist to the spa is a special occasion and if nothing else, you should feel welcomed and comfortable. They completely missed the boat with this crucial detail. The desk staff were completely disinterested and incredibly blase. They were so distracted (and it wasn't busy) that a full two months later, they are still charging and crediting our credit cards because they forgot to charge us for one of our massages. They've charged us for the pedicure (which was already paid for by my parents)...then they credited us too much, then charged us again and today finally credited us and are still $12 off....all of this without the courtesy of a single phone call! Avoid it until the service gets a complete makeover...stick to the hype articles in the travel mags instead.

Pros: Cool amenities like the Turkish Hamam

Cons: Totally inept and unprofessional service

Just out of the frenetic SoBe earshot, this intimate island getaway is not your club hopper's Miami Beach.  See the full editorial review.
