Bluegreen Vacations Solara Surfside, Ascend Resort Collection

This is my second time staying here. I was here in 2011. They renovated and updated! It is beautiful here and well worth the money spent! We will be returning. Thanks for the awesome service!

Nice, little Bluegreen property with the friendliest staff. My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend and, for the most part, we were pleased with our stay. We did have a hard time finding this property at first since the sign is so small in comparison to the building. So keep your eyes peeled because you can easily pass them up in a blink of an eye!
There is no self parking here, only valet which is $ 7 /​day (for owners) with in/​out priviledges. Check in was a breeze and our room was ready upon arrival. We had a one bedroom with a full kitchen (appliances and utensils even provided). It was more than enough room for 2 people and could’ve easily fit 4 people since the couch was a pull out sofa. The bathroom was fully stocked with toiletries and towels, definitely way more than 2 people would need for a weekend.
The bonus part of this property is that they are literally located less than 2 minutes from the beach. Unfortunately, my husband and I aren’t really beach folks so we didn’t really take advantage of the amenities that came with staying here such as complimentary beach towels and beach chairs. If the beach isn’t your thing, they also have a pool and Jacuzzi on site. As well as a fitness center.
This property is fairly quiet and there are not any businesses in close proximity. On our first night, we walked around exploring but it took us several blocks before we found a strip of restaurants and businesses including a Publix. I would recommend bringing food beforehand to store in the kitchen to save the hassle of figuring out what to eat for every meal (and having to drive). The front desk did save us one night when we were too tired to leave (after being out walking around all day) for dinner and provided some delivery menus for us to order from.
I will say that the elevator is the slowest so skip it and take the stairs. Also, give valet a call for your car before heading downstairs so they get a quick heads up. Overall, great stay but next time we stay here, I’ll plan accordingly and pack food/​snacks to bring.

The customer service at this place is terrible! I came here with another couple (owners) to check out the property as we are looking for another vacation spot purchase. We were told that the ocean view with balcony that was on our reservation was unavailable! Keep in mind we have called and confirmed this reservation on a monthly basis so that we wouldnt have this issue! We were given the run-​around by management and then placed in a small room on the side. The bathroom is small, no view, no balcony! They basically told my friend and owner that he out of luck and to deal with it. The fire alarm woke us up at 3am and 4am continuously. The bathroom lock is broken and the front desk said they didnt have anyone on site to repair it! So far after the second day we are NOT happy with this place! Needless to say I’m NOT bumying from here!!!

The fire alarm has been going off since 3am. It is now 7am. Don’t you think the fire department should have been called by now?
This has been a very frustrating night at bluegreen.

Had a wonderful experience! The amazing customer service more than made up for some dated décor. We stayed in a multiple bedroom suite with multiple rooms and a kitchen. This would be a great place for families as the rooms are very spacious, and using the kitchen and outdoor grills would make a vacation here very budget friendly! Very easy beach access as well!

Awesome Bluegreen Property! It is located roughly 5 miles from South Beach and it is located right on the beach. You can walk right out and is less than 2 minutes. They also have a beach attendant who will set up chairs and umbrellas for you. He arrives at 10 and stays out there until 5 pm.
I stayed in the 2 bedroom with full kitchen and it was huge with beautiful ocean views. It also had 2 big balconies. The second bedroom had 2 queen size beds.
The décor is really funny and will remind you of old school Miami.
This property was very clean and the staff very nice – very typical of Bluegreen properties. They only have valet parking and it is a mandatory fee of 14.00 for guests or 7.00 for owners per day.
They have a pool/​hot tub and a lot of activities going on. Great place to stay and still close to South Beach.

Nice property for Bluegreen. Solid *** Did notice some brown rust on the hot tub. Maybe mold. Left notice of the hot tub on a comment card. The manager called me 4 times at home until he made contact about the issue. Location is great. Nice Balcony. The beach is a 2 min walk. No bar and not much of a lobby. They could use a service elevator so you don’t get knocked over by Maid carts. Front desk and concierge were ok but not great. Still I would go back in a heartbeat.

Another great Bluegreen Hotel and property.
Spent my honeymoon here and really thankful my wife decided to get this time share.
Just like my Vegas review, I love the savings by staying at this hotel but utilizing the kitchen and washer/​dry.
Never had a chance to use the BBQ but did enjoy the pool and really small gym.
The two things I did not like is the mandatory parking garage fee and the upgrade meeting they get you to go to for some free perks, in our case a free everglade adventure.
Not too close to South Beach but the beach line in front of the property was tranquil and a refreshing treat.
We stayed in the one bedroom rooms, very spacious and very clean.
Front desk staff and parking valet very professional and costumer oriented.

Not the best Bluegreen property we’ve been to, but certainly not the worst. We went with a 1 bedroom with full kitchen, and we ended up with a corner room that’s very light and airy. The pool/​hot tub area is very clean, although busier in the evenings. The walk to the beach was MAYBE two minutes long.
The staff has been very friendly and pleasant and we’re really enjoying our time here.

Welcome to the flower power era. Don’t get me wrong, I like this place but we got a kicked out of the décor.
Its just a walk away from the beach. There’s a nice pool and covered seating for bbq enthusiast.
We wanted a room with full kitchen since we’re spending an entire week in Miami, we might as well cook at times. The room was clean and big and standing at the balcony, we can see the water. There are rooms with the beach view.
The hotel is nicely situated to drive around anywhere.
