The Salamander OMG!!

[Anonymous]

I just looked at 10/15 for a night and it is $800.

Maybe there is a wedding or an event? My guess is that a block of rooms are sold out and the available rooms are priced high. Just a guess.

I am looking to go away with a girlfriend and Miami hotels also seem priced much higher than pre covid. This was a rescheduled trip from 2020. Was just casually looking. It seems that anything that is semi luxury has increased their prices significantly while the meh hotels are still reasonable. I am positive this has to do with staff shortages and increases in operating costs.

You could stay at either of JWs in Miami that weekend for less than half of what you are paying for Salamander. Or you could stay at St Regis/Ritz for same price. There are roughly 20 other Marriott flagged hotels that are comparable in class to Salamander that you could stay at for $2-350/night.

I would use my savings and fly to Miami.

I am not OP. St Regis and Ritz bal harbour are both over $1k per night but yes, I would much rather go to Miami.

Not alway and for the night PP mentioned one was $790 and the other was $950. And I have booked rooms at both for a lot less.

We have a high income though so whether it is 500 or 700 or 800 not a big deal. I don’t think it is worth $1400 per night. Was it a holiday weekend?

The spa was nice. There is a pool. Perfect overnight trip.

I tried to plan one of these. Between check in and check out it was going to be an extremely short and expensive trip.

The pool is basic compare to the Homestead. The price of the Salamander is inflated for a non-family friendly atmosphere. The staff is outrageously rude to parents.

+1 my parents just came back from two weeks in the south of france. Place was (comparatively) empty for September. My boss just extended her vacation there for another week for the same reason — too good to pass up.

have you seen the cost of flights, they are very high now

Nope. Bought a DCA to SFO ticket on Monday to fly tomorrow on a whim to see some college gfs. Paid $330.

I don't think Salamander is a good family resort. It was a perfect tired mom getaway. I had originally heard about it from our friends who went for a romantic weekend away.
