“Ok, but not for us, depends on your 'style'. 3 rating is generous”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 6, 2012

This hotel has many different types of rooms and apparantly we were fortunate in getting a room overlooking miami and a pool... but kids were often playing in the pool and our patio constantly had cigarette butts from the patios above tossing them over!!! When in a hotel of that price range you'd think people were brought up more polite!? Not the hotels fault of course. My complaint with a four star hotel with business meetings being the norm, was that we had - upon arriving; no clothes hangers (not one!), no ice in that tower, no iron or board, we had to wait till late afternoon (4:30 pm) for check-in to get the bed choice that was confirmed at time of booking. The room was nice, but not much nicer that the other 3 stars we had been staying at during the week prior. The hotel is definitely geared towards a young crowd with loud music (the unpleasant boom boom kind) and $18 drinks (in a plastic cup no less), We will not be back, even though we did find the staff well trained and very pleasant... even though the pool staff waitresses outfits were very tacky! ... and no we are otherwise not prudish.

“More of a club than hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 6, 2012

Stayed here for 3 days during a conference. As far as I can tell, this is a club first, hotel second (maybe third). The staff were helpful, but the entire place revolves around the nightlife. Interesting seeing drunk kids rolling out of the nightclubs at 5am on my way to the airport. Room itself was ok, kind of small and an akward layout. Would prefer to stay somewhere else next time, mostly because I like my hotel and nightlife to be seperated.

Room Tip: Do not stay above the main club if you want to sleep before 4am.

“See you again very soon!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 6, 2012

The staff at the main pool area was the highlight of my experience at the Foutainebleau. As soon as I stepped foot outside, Jefferson was eager to get my group of friends and myself settled and comfortable. Nikki did an exceptional job recommending Strawberry Margarita pitchers and quesadillas, which were beyond amazing. Throughout our time at the pool, I would also like to recognize Ivan and Leo for constantly stopping by and making sure everything was to our standards and liking.

I cannot wait to return! Thank you Jefferson, Nikki, Leo, and Ivan for making our stay and time at the pool so amazing. You all surpassed my expectations. See you again very soon!

“Wow!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 6, 2012

This place is awesome! They have made this hotel the place to stay in SouthBeach. The staff is awesome and the amenities are also awesome. I went for a run on the boardwalk in the morning and enjoyed the pool and lobby!

“Second time just as good”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 5, 2012

My second visit here in 2 years and it still surpasses (in my view) anywhere else i have visited ,Check in better than ever ,Nightlife and Buzz have to be experienced to be believed ,,,,
Slight problem we encountered was speedily & efficiently sorted out by David Arraya (general manager) Its nice to know that he sorts things personally and cares about his Hotel and its reputation.The food is as good as you will get anywhere ,A slight problem with Pool service but they are so busy, it is understandable that sometimes things can take a bit of time ,Overall a highly enjoyable time .,Ignore the people on here complaining about the cost ,YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR ,

Room Tip: try to get a room away from the Nightclub end.
