The Setai brunch is truly an extraordinary experience — a blend of elegance, exquisite flavors, and impeccable service that sets the standard in Miami Beach. From the moment you arrive, you’re enveloped in an atmosphere of calm sophistication, where every detail feels perfectly curated. The culinary journey is second to none. Each dish is beautifully prepared, showcasing world-class ingredients and global inspiration — from fresh seafood and sushi to perfectly carved meats and irresistible desserts. Every bite reflects the artistry and passion of the team behind it. A special mention must go to Mr. Nakach, and Lina whose presence and hospitality elevate the entire experience. His attention to detail, warm personality, and dedication to excellence make guests feel genuinely valued , they magic with her grace and professionalism, ensuring everything flows effortlessly. And of course, Bunga, whose energy and smile brighten the room, brings a touch of charm that makes the brunch not just luxurious, but truly welcoming. The Setai brunch isn’t simply a meal — it’s a celebration of taste, style, and human warmth. If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience in Miami, this is the place to be.

If You’re Going Out in Miami, The Setai Is 100% Worth It We went to The Setai in Miami last night and honestly had one of the best dinner experiences ever. We were a group of 10, and from the moment we arrived the service was outstanding. The bartender made amazing drinks, super friendly, great vibe. When we sat down, they told us we had a 2-hour window, but the whole service was perfectly timed and never felt rushed. Food was exceptional from appetizers to mains, and when we mentioned it was our friends’ birthday, they surprised us with a cake. Such a classy touch. Even when we went a bit over the 2 hours, they handled it really respectfully. Plus the ambiance? Insane. Shows on both sides, kind of like Cirque du Soleil, amazing music, super elegant atmosphere. Overall just a magical night. Huge hit. Highly recommend. #MiamiEats #TheSetai #MiamiRestaurants #MiamiNightlife #FoodieTravel #DinnerWithFriends #MiamiVibes #MustTryMiami

We recently stayed at The Setai, Miami Beach, and were truly impressed by the impeccable service and thoughtful gestures throughout our stay. As a physician, I often say that you know a good doctor not just when things go smoothly, but especially when something goes wrong — and how it’s resolved makes all the difference. The same applies to hospitality. When a package from Amazon couldn’t be found during our checkout, the staff handled the situation with remarkable calm, efficiency, and grace — turning a potential stress into a display of excellence. Thank you for your professionalism and care. Maurício & Liana Abrão

Upon checking into the Setai, you are greeted with a warm towelette and a refreshing beverage. Each and every employee is courteous and respectful, as if they woke up that morning with a singular goal- to make You, the guest, feel cared for and pampered. The rooms are spotless, not a speck of dust to be found anywhere. Housekeeping comes by twice (!) a day! The bed is scrumptiously soft and comfortable. And the smell! Just a clean fresh, not overwhelming aroma permeates the entire hotel. The pools are crystal clear and gorgeous, and the beach! Ahh! The attendants at both the pool and beach set up your lounge chair with towels for you. The drinks were also otherworldly! If you want to escape the everyday mundane, The Setai is THE place to recharge and relax. You will leave rejuvenated, cared for, and happy! Thank you for the best experience ever!

I spent some time here and the place really impressed me. The vibe is super calm and the service feels on point without being too much. Prices are high, yeah, but the experience and the atmosphere make it worth it if you’re looking to treat yourself.

We had an absolutely divine experience at the Setai last week. The service was outstanding in every area: the valets, front desk staff, restaurant servers, housekeeping, spa staff, and pool service. It felt very personalized and extremely professional. The room was immaculate, and they clearly put a LOT of effort into keeping them that way. I loved my spa service, which was booked effortlessly. The pool area was so relaxing and a great spot to get in a swim or for relaxing. And the shower in the room was the best rain shower ever!! We had daily breakfast and loved the options. It may sound strange, but the oatmeal was the best I've had! You can't beat the location! We will definitely be staying again for our next visit to Miami!
