I went to Miami to relax and go to the beach. The James Royal Palm was perfect. There is no hassle for a beach chair. If you like front row then you need to go at 9 a.m. on Friday or Saturday. My room was ready at 10 a.m. and I checked right in and went to the beach. If... More

“fantastic beach location”

The James offers the PERFECT Beach location. Lovely rooms, pool areas and gym. Spa looks to be amazing even though I didn't get to go...yet! Room service was great and the staff was super friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed my stay.

KCGCM- Fantastic review! Thank you. Sorry you didn't get to enjoy renew, the spa, while you were with us. The 4th floor relaxation terrace over looking the ocean is as amazing as the salt infused services you get inside!
