Stayed here 1 night prior to a cruise as we got a very good deal. It's not located in the "heart" of South Beach. It rained most of the time we were there so didn't get to sit by the pool or walk the beach. There is a boardwalk that goes along between the beach and the hotels. Along this... More

This is an alright hotel, good enough pool, big enough rooms, spacy elevators, but still not the newest standard or interiour that reminds you off 2011... Location is nice, fair chanse of finding public parking in the streets behind the hotel, but valet is probably to prefer... Staff was medium, nothing i would remember for excepsional great or anything. Direct... More

Tired and dirty. the carpet in the roon was disgusting - needed a good clean. Free Wifi meant one 90 minutes block in the lobby per day then a massive daily rate, and it was slow.... save money and go elsewhere. More

Clean quiet safe beach front hotel. The staff is pleasant, not the Riu in Mexico but hey your in the US. Good valet parking at $19 a day. Beach is great and the boardwalk is just out a secured gate More

Don't expect anything fancy...It is true that you get what you pay for... rooms are not that fancy, but OK. The hotel doesn't have exactly direct access to the beach: The beach chairs have to be rented from a different company (they will give you a discount if you show them your hotel card though). The food at the pool... More

I have stayed in RIU hotels prior to this and always receive exemplary customer service. As a large hotel with locations all over you expect that they have the operational side down and it is in the hands of the staff to make the experience better...and they do. I had no complaints with my stay here. It was the final... More

Stayed for 3 nights in November 2011. After staying at the Riu palace in Aruba we knew from the reviews this wouldn't be of the same standard, we were pleasantly surprised by the hotel and didn't find many negative points compared to some reviews. The valet parking at the hotel may seem expensive, but its what you pay in Miami,... More

Arrived at hotel 19 dollars a day for parking.. Had to change rooms once due to room next to elevators and where housekeeping kept there supplies which cart was so loud going in and out of closet... Moved to 6 th floor where our view was a building being constructed... No very pretty.. But it was quiet More

My husband and I just returned from Miami Beach, having stayed one night at the Riu after a holiday cruise. The hotel staff speaks Spanish as well as English, and the hotel is popular with international guests, including Germans, Italians, Argentineans, Canadians, Dutch and Finns. It has an attractive portico with semi circular driveway. From the spacious lobby you can... More
