Pick it for the rooftop setup: a pool deck with lawn, grill and skyline views, aimed at morning swims or sunsets. The catch is that the hotel doesn't publish who can swim or the floor.
The pool
The pool sits on the rooftop deck in Downtown Miami, with skyline views, a lawn and a grill. Self-serve drinks, snacks, ice cream and toiletries are sold at the Marketplace on that level. Floor, hours and access rules aren't published by the hotel.
Our take
Sentral Alea is a better-equipped deck than most downtown pools that stay quiet about access. It has a lawn and grill, and the pool level has its own shop. Dua Miami, also Downtown, sells day passes from $30, so it is the easier call for a non-guest.
The downside is the blank on access. With no published day pass, guest policy or hours, you can't plan around the pool until you ask the hotel. Treat it as a guest amenity until they tell you otherwise.

Getting in
Non-guest swimming isn't addressed anywhere by the hotel, and there is no day pass. Staying here is the only route we can point to.
No age rules or pool hours are published either.
Tips
- Email or call before you book to ask about pool hours; the hotel's own copy suggests morning swims or sunset.
Before you go. Ask the hotel whether the pool is open to non-guests and what its hours are. Neither is published.
