This is a great place to stay. The pool is large and warm. The suites are clean, large and pleasant. A nearby restaurant called Hola Lola is very good and also on Collins Avenue. The hotel has a fun outside bar and dining area.

I went to Miami for the first time last December and I absolutely loved it. It is paradise on earth. We drove down from Orlando and spent a couple of days there. We stayed in the Courtyard Marriott for two days and we were pleasantly surprised. It was an excellent stay.

It's located in a beautiful area on Collins Avenue in the heart of Miami Beach. It's a car / taxi ride away from South Beach but that wasn't a problem for us.

The staff were extremely helpful and courteous and really made us feel at home.
The hotel lobby is lovely and the room was excellent and very comfortable.
The pool area was lovely and clean but the crowning glory was the beautiful white sandy beach where we soaked up the December sun.
The food was very nice.
The valet service was very quick and efficient.

No complaints whatsoever with this hotel. I'd stay there again.

From the first second we stepped foot in the hotel, there is nothing to argua about, the service/freindliness/helpfullness of the staff and their willingfullness to make your stay comfortable is second to none. The Hotel itself is extremly clean and fresh throughout and well maintained. Pool is great and the few steps to the beach make it a great vacation place. All in all we were very happy and wouls very much reccomend the Marriot as a vacation place to stay next time in Miami.

access directly to beach.excellent swimming pool and snack and drinks bar. our room was at the back corner of hotel and was small and tv positioned badly in room.
breakfast adequate. restaraunt on site dark, noisy but food ok.
