Me and my husband stayed here for 5 nights. After reading past reviews I wasn't expecting much but as we first walked into the lobby we was very surprised. The room was a much better surprise, we had a view of the pool and sea and a massive balcony and the room was big too with a king size bed... More

On the site of a glorious hotel from the 60`s. Its on Collins Ave, but a mile or so from the action. Thats not a bad thing, The rates are good for Miami beach and the breakfast buffet is quite good . Its on the ocean and has a fine pool area. The interior needs updating. I`d return and have.

Great location! $35 taxi ride from the port of Miami. Check in was easy. They only have rooms with TWO beds, no queen or king for couples - weird. The rooms had a terrible and overwhelming air freshener scent - we had to open the windows. The grounds are beautiful, pool is perfect degree in temp. We only ate at... More

We really liked the front desk staff and valets. They were very friendly. The servers in the bar areas and restaurant were not friendly and most seemed to really hate their job and the customers. We loved our room on the 7th floor overlooking the ocean and the balcony was huge. We went to the dinner buffet and it was... More

I have been to many other Riu's at the Caribbean so I figured this would be a viable option for my stay in Miami. Boy was I wrong. First off are the rooms, small, cramped, TWIN BEDS ( the mattresses have a huge valley in the middle and hurt my back) , and the smell in the room of swear... More

Good impression on arivial, reasonable room and a nice pool. However the beach had no loungers unless you paid (other hotels nearby did). Glad we were only staying 1 night as there was a lot of construction work nearby and it was noisy. Disapointing restaurant $28.50pp for a mediocre buffet. No WiFi.

I traveled to Miami for work and found this hotel on Expedia – it was one of the less expensive ones but as it’s located on Collins Drive I figured it couldn’t be that bad. Upon arrival, the first thing I noticed was how incredibly nice the lobby was. I checked in but didn’t have time to look at the... More

We weren't staying here but decided to have lunch here as it was a RIU so we thought it would be good...WRONG. We sat by the pool as the main restaurant was closed in the afternoon. There were 4 staff members hanging out at the cabana bar chatting but not serving customers as they're supposed to. We waited 5 mins... More
