The Spotlight on Coral Reef at Key Biscayne

Chill Beachside Comfort Just Minutes from the Miami Music Scene

Modern and laid-back, Coral Reef at Key Biscayne offers a relaxed home base just under a mile from Key Biscayne Beach and less than 20 minutes from downtown Miami. With spacious units that include full kitchens, separate living areas, and even private balconies in select rooms, this hotel is ideal for travelers who want more room to unwind. Guests can soak up the Florida sun at the outdoor pool or relax on the poolside terrace.

Free WiFi, on-site laundry, and free parking add to the hassle-free vibe, perfect for concert-goers looking to mix tunes with tropical tranquility.

Why Concert-goers love it

Only a short drive from Miami’s biggest music venues, this spot is far enough from the action to offer a quiet retreat, yet close enough to catch a show with ease. Late-night returns are simple with free parking and self-catering units, plus the peaceful location makes it easy to recover after a high-energy night. The 4:00 PM check-in gives you time to settle in before a show, and the full kitchens mean late-night bites are always an option.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want space to chill and cook between concerts
  • Solo travelers seeing a favorite artist with time to unwind
  • Couples making a romantic weekend around a show
  • Fans needing a calm post-concert escape after loud crowds
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, each unit comes with a fully equipped kitchen, letting you whip up meals anytime — perfect after a late show. Walkable cafes and restaurants are nearby, and with grocery stores close, stocking your fridge is easy. Late breakfast? That’s up to you — with your own kitchen, you're on your own time.

Nightlife Options

You're just a quick Uber away from Miami’s buzzing nightlife, including live music venues, rooftop bars, and oceanfront clubs. Afterward, retreat to the quiet, residential feel of Key Biscayne. While the hotel itself is more about relaxation than revelry, it’s a solid launchpad for a night out.

What People Say

Guests love the spaciousness of the units, the cleanliness, and the peaceful atmosphere. The location is often praised for its balance of being close to Miami but far from the chaos. Reviewers also highlight the friendly staff and the convenience of having a kitchen and laundry on-site.

Areas for Improvement

Check-out time is a bit early at 10:00 AM, so plan accordingly if you're recovering from a late night. Some guests mention the decor is a bit dated, but well-maintained. This isn’t a full-service hotel, so don’t expect daily housekeeping or concierge services — but that’s part of the laid-back charm.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a spacious, quiet retreat just outside Miami’s music hub, Coral Reef at Key Biscayne hits all the right notes.

Don't rent it. Dirty, smelly,...

Liked: I didn't like everything. The property is a dump. I went into the room and left to look for another hotel. I asked for a refund and they didn't give it to me. Absurd. I didn't use it.

Good

Liked: It's a small place, not a lot of other tourists. The pool was beautiful and clean.
Disliked: The place was older, only 2 out of 4 worked in the master, and staff mostly could not communicate with me. Lamps were the only lighting in the rooms, and one of them didn't even work.

Met Our Needs but Make...

Liked: The Coral Reef at Key Biscayne is an excellent location for visiting Key Biscayne. This is a three story apartment building with a nice pool in the inner courtyard. Plenty of parking available. Numerous restaurants nearby. It has beach access within a 5 minute walk (keyed gate to access path to beach). Kingsize bed was comfortable. The onsite manager Roberto was very helpful.
Disliked: Unfortunately, the only elevator serving the complex was out of commission so we had to lug all our luggage, cooler, valuables, etc., up the stairs. Difficult given the heat and humidity of Key Biscayne. The air conditioning in the apartment was excellent on the living floor. Unfortunately, it has difficulty reaching the upper floor where the bed is located so that was about 10 degrees warmer. We had to request extra towels and bathmats. No paper hand towels in the kitchen.

Fair

Liked: No breakfast. Location is excellent. Private beach access is very good/comfortable/secure, we love it.
Disliked: 1- Room Cleaning was deficient, the sofa @ living room has an open cookie package behind the back of the sofa, means that before we got in for the stay no one when thru the sanitary details. 2- Sunday afternoon we were @ pool, my 14 years old grandson jumped into a water a couple of times and the guy in charge took the boy attention in a nasty way, yelling and threatening about closing the pool.....I didn't address it to him due to he was busy assisting a group of people, but as employee, he must watch the way they speak with clients, specially with kids. Very dessapointed & sad.

Very good

Liked: I had a very pleasant and comfortable stay at this hotel. The staff was incredibly friendly and extremely kind to us — they made us feel welcome at all times and really went out of their way to help. Their warm attitude made a big difference and created a great atmosphere. While the facilities are a bit dated and could use some updates, everything was clean and worked fine. Overall, the excellent service and hospitality more than made up for that. I truly enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back.
