The beach was unobstructed and is absolutely beautiful it's just a quick walk across the street. The hotel officer offers sunscreen towels floats and things like that. The rooms were clean and nice and the neighborhood is really good with lots of restaurant options and bars.

Great location, quieter part of Ocean Drive, clean, access to roof top pool at next door hotel, 2 free drinks upon arrival. Great value for price. Stayed at Penguin then then stayed at Cove at Renzi. For a few dollars more stay at the Penguin!

Hotel was in a great location, very close to the beach, very walkable neighborhood with lots to do. Staff is friendly, rooms reasonably clean. That being said, this hotel is nowhere as nice as the pictures try to depict. Very run down, pool was unusable as it was very inconvenient to get to at a completely separate property. Bar advertised was at a whole third property. We were charged a whole other $77 fee when we arrived, which I was incredibly unhappy about. Absolutely no value in what they offered. The only impressive thing about this hotel is the location.
