Riu Florida Beach Hotel

Like most Miami Beach hotels, the Riu is grossly over priced. They are also undergoing a phase of much needed renovation so make sure you get one of the updated rooms. The older ones are terrible. The hotel has an air of old money about it. The updated rooms are comfortable and clean. The mini bar as quoted in the room desription is actually just a mini fridge. There is an on site restraurant which is buffet style and again expensive unless you stuff yourself stupid. Parking is an additional $20 per night.

Das Hotel ist schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen und müsste einmal renoviert werden, insbesondere der Teppichboden in den Zimmern. Die Zimmer sind sauber und die Größe ist OK, leider sehr hellhörig für Leute mit schwachem Schlaf. Leider verfügen die Zimmer über kein free WiFi. Nur in der Lobby kann für 45 Minuten kostenlos WiFi genutzt werden. Nutzung darüber hinaus ist kostenpflichtig. Das Frühstücksbuffet ist hervorragend. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Pool und Garten OK.

not bad not special. nice stuff and directly at the beach. not that clean - specially the very old carpet floor in the room is a bit disgusting. Good for a business trip.

This was my third time staying at this hotel. great pool, great resuraunt, and great staff. Just far enough away from all the madness of sobe, but close enough to walk. I plan to stay here again. PS. Thanks luis for all the help. did I mention great staff!

Good experience at Riu. Breakfast was good for the price, excellent location, great beach. Opportunities: beds are not confortable and pool is very cold for children.

The staff was really friendly. We booked a no sea view room to save money, but omg the view we had was a horrible destroyed building. the rooms need urgent renovation, the bathroom were not clean and the shower had no water pressure. the room, closet and drawers, had an odd smell .. like old and humidity.. eww... We rented a car so we can move around, but the parking fee is 18 usd per day... we payed them almost everyday.. hint? from 6:00 pm to 8:00 am u can park for free in the street. The hotel is not a cheap one, and for that price u should booked a room in southbeach near the restaurants and other amenities.

The only good thing about this hotel is was the staff. The carpets were dingy. The room was small, out-dated, and depressing. There was an of depravity and dilapidation all around. The entire seventh floor reeked of water damage. I have stayed at in hotel rooms three times nicer than this one, for a third of the cost. I would only advise my worst enemies to stay here. The joke was on me, seriously..

VERY NICE LOBBY PLEASANT EMPLOYEES NICE POOL 1 MINUTE WALK TO OCEAN BALCONYS NOT VERY PRIVATE THEY COULD USE SOME NEW CARPET IN ROOM NOT WALKING DIST. TO S. BEACH

Great Staff, great location, amazing balcony view.

Hotel was nice; however, the administration should make sure in advance that the room being provided to guests are "truly" vacant. The day i arrived, I was allotted room 928, which was already allotted to someone else. It was a bit disturbing to see someone else walk into the room claiming this room to be hers. Overall, I had a nice stay at the Riu Florida Beach Hotel.
