Kimpton Vero Beach Hotel & Spa by IHG

The beach, the staff, the room size

The moldy smell in the room, the size of the pool, the lack of amenities and entertainment

This was my husband and my first time at a Kimpton. I visit Vero at least once a year, to get away from the noise and chaos of South Florida. Our standard room was karge, had a ceiling fan (its always hot in hotel rooms), huge bath, great beach, all staff were friendly, and service was fantastic. The pool was the downside; not nearly enough seating and people claimed chairs but never sat in them; kids were screaming, cannon balling, and throwing rings and balls around and over adults. Some adults brought their own music and speakers to the small pool. Despite this, I would stay again

It has been a long time since we stayed at the Vero Beach Hotel and Spa. My husband and I loved bringing our family here many times before Covid took over. We finally made it back to visit one of our favorite places. We found that some things are still great and others could use a little work. When we arrived we were greeted with very nice valet attendants who were a big help with bringing our things to our room. We also appreciated Joe’s help during our stay. Evan was wonderful at check in and was very responsive and helpful with some special requests that we had. He was very friendly as we saw him a few times at the hotel. The wine happy hour was still a part of our stay which we enjoyed. Our room was great, something we always appreciate when staying here. It was clean and comfortable with lots of space. Best views are from 4th floor. Some things that have changed were that the hotel seemed to need some updates and improvements with room furniture and pool/ beach furniture. A lot seems outdated compared to before. Also the cleanliness wasn’t the same. The pool deck had straws and leftover trash from the day before which would never have happened before. The carpet areas in the hotel seemed dirty and in need of vacuuming. I remember everything being impeccable during previous visits which always made us want to return. Cobalt breakfast was fine but very expensive for a couple of scrambled eggs, some bacon, and a piece of toast. I added a small cup of fruit (strawberries and blueberries) for $8.00. For 1 person it was a $28.00 breakfast with just water as a beverage. It was good but I don’t think it was worth that much. Heaton’s was good. My husband had a $26 burger that he said was really good. Drink prices definitely increased! I remember Heaton’s had a better poolside menu with more options before. Now it is very limited. Also remember that Heaton’s would do a special cocktail of the day which was great back in the day. The valet gentlemen were excellent help on the day that we checked out! Overall it is still a very nice place to stay and we love seeing employees at Heaton’s and at Valet that are still here after over 15 years! The staff is always amazing here!!! It has been very hard to be able to afford coming here since the hotel became part of the IHG group. Since post Covid the room rates are a bit ridiculous and at times are at least double if not more what we paid when it was just a Kimpton property. With the current prices you would think that things would be updated accordingly. I really hope that IHG can give some TLC to this beautiful place and restore it to the level that it was before.

Old time beach hotel that is very dated but has a great staff and large rooms. Really a throwback to the 90’s.

Nice as always

Excellent staff and room

Amazing service and beautiful resort.

Staff was very friendly and helpful! The room was large and comfortable. The property is beautiful. Walkable around Vero Beach area. I disliked that other guests came down early in the morning to save lounge chairs at the pool and then left, sometimes for the entirety of the day. Kind of rude. Staff should not allow seat saving. The restaurant and bar were good.

I love the Kimpton! 2nd time staying here and will hopefully be back again in November. Would stay at this hotel forever if I could. Great hotel staff from front desk to pool boys to valet guys, restaurant managers,servers and bartenders. All around just love ❤️
