I came with my friends to Miami, and chose this hotel only because it is close to the fountainblu. I am glad we did. the hotel has a special vibe, it was built I think around the 50s and even though its modern and has been recently renovated, you can still feel its glorious past, artists such as Lucy, Marlyn Monroe, Frank Sinastra, Elizabeth Taylor stayed there. The service, the food is very good.

This hotel is beautiful but it has one major issue: the staff that is very unfriendly and never wants to help.
The rooms too were not very clean and the staff did not believe anything we told them
Even the amenities in this hotel suck and i would not recommend it to any one who likes friendly staff and clean rooms
Still Miami is a beautiful city and I enjoyed my stay in this city

We had made a reservation on Priceline, and after being confirmed at the Eden Roc and reading others' reviews I was very nervous about staying here. My relative had stayed here before and had an excellent experience in the Ocean Tower with an ocean front room. I called ahead and spoke to Matteo, who advised me that the week I was going was not so full, so although my reservation was for a standard room, I would possibly be upgraded at check-in, but he could not guarantee anything on the phone. Upon arrival, I mentioned to Elvis at the check in counter that i had spoken to Matteo. He called him over, and together they decided to upgrade me complimentary to the ocean tower, king size bed, jaccuzi, with full ocean front view!
My experience was uphill from then on. The staff go out of their way to satisfy you. I had returned from a shopping trip and my ice coffee had spilled in my car. The guys at valet told me not to worry, they cleaned it up for me happily! The multiple pools meant they were never crowded, and the beach was not crowded either. I fail to understand others complaints about wild music at the pool too. And i never had to wait long for the valet to bring my car. (The one time there was a mix up and it took a few minutes, they gave us cold water bottles while we waited!
This is the place to be if you're looking for a relaxing resort in a quieter area where you can stay on grounds all day with the pools, spa, gym, dining, and private beach!
I look forward to going again next winter!

Was here with my parents for vacation-I am a marriott member and they have upgraded us to the oceanview room at the new ocean tower! We were staying at 12 floor. The view was breath-taking and the room is very romantic and well designed, very comtemporary. Staff are well trained and very helpful, professional.We even received a call from the mananger to check on us, great services! In our room, we also got spa bathtub,so didn't have to go to Jaccuzi near the pool. Love the walk on the beach and the sea breeze in the morning on the balcony overlook the beautiful ocean. The property worths every penny. The only thing is -the property does charge $25.00 resort free plus $35.00 velet parking daily and we stayed there two days, so that is additional $110.00 for the trip. Luckily, with the Marriott membership, we received $25.00 resort credits daily, so that helped. Highly recommended this property, we will be back and you will love it!!!
