“Staff was fantastic, property in middle of renovation”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

I really enjoyed my stay at the Doral for a conference. My room was very well appointed and I loved my balcony overlooking the golf course. The resort is set in several buildings, so depending upon your mobility, you may want to ask for particular buildings if you are at a conference. I was at a building far away, but since I don't have any mobility issues I looked forward to the walks to and from the conference center given the wonderful weather. The staff goes above and beyond to be helpful and friendly. The restaurants were good, had food that ranged from good to exceptional. I didn't even get time to get to the pool but it did look really nice. I would recommend to the hotel to put screens on the doors leading to the balconies, because one night I accidentally left it open for a few minutes when my phone rang (I would have closed the screen had there been one) and when I shut the door later, I had a TON of mosquitoes in my room. The conference facilities were good, but not the best, again I'm assuming something that will be fixed after renovation. The courtyard outside the conference center where we had our breakfasts and lunches was very nice. The bed was extremely comfortable. I appreciated the jogging path--2.5 miles on the golf course--was a nice path.

Room Tip: There are several buildings, so it may pay to call ahead to ask for a building specifically near the...

“Tired and not well managed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed November 3, 2012 via mobile

Th Doral was a decent hotel years ago. I attended a recent conference here and the conference facilities were ok. Linens were nice, bed was comfortable, and the rooms were clean and a good size. The elevator was loud through the night and the air conditioning fan was loud, too. Personnel were nice but didn't seem to be qualified or well managed. Of the many meals I had here (only because it cost too much and took too much time to get to anywhere else for a nice meal) rarely did the food appear as it was ordered. At the pool it took more than 50 minutes for my salad to arrive and when it did it was not what I ordered. The room service meal - the quesadilla was greasy and the sour cream, pico de gallo, and the guacamole were frozen solid! The pools are pretty but they had really bad, loud DJ music going at the only warm pool. The other pool was too cold to swim. Overall the grounds were attractive but there were sections where the color spots were dried up and dead. Maybe the golf course is decent, but I don't golf. Poor value for what it costs.

“Nice resort for a conference.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 28, 2012

Resort is in need of some updating, but is moderately priced for Miami. The linens and bedding seemed fresh and recently updated. The service was typical for a large 4 star hotel (just average). The Spa is impressive. The pool by the Spa is better than the large pool. I was there for meetings, the facilities and food / service was adequate.

“Whats in a name?”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 28, 2012

Doral Golf Resort and Spa was waay less than satisfactory and not even close to good. Hopefully Mr. Trump will be able to pull off the complete renovation of this tired, old not well kept property. I will say the staff is trying to put on a professional front and did go out of their way to accommodate the guests. Not know what to expect upon arrival (after noon) we were told our room would not be available until 4pm. OK understood the property was at capacity. But hold on - charges for everything! Internet, bottled water in the room, air to breath! (ok, ok the air was free). Tired, old, lack of maintained facilities just begins to describe the experience. Food and drinks - world class pricing for much lower quality.
