Honestly the best service we ever had and me and my husband travel often around the world Staying at this beautiful hotel for 5 days and we won’t be checking out until Tuesday but I am so impressed by the service that I had to put my review half way to our trip Clean rooms, beautiful view, top notch service and beautiful ambiance— what more can you ask for

Highly recommend—wish they had branches in Canada

Anthony Rinella

The Mandarin Oriental is our favorite hotel in Miami Located in Brickell Key, it’s right in the middle of some the best shopping and restaurants in the Miami area and just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Miami Beach This is our third time staying at this hotel, one of our critiques the first two stays were that the hotel’s decor needed to be freshened up they have done that

We stayed in a Junior Bay Suite this time and absolutely loved the room The terrace wraps around and the views are fantastic From a service perspective the Mandarin Oriental Miami is truly 5 stars, I couldn’t recommend this hotel highly enough for a sophisticated stay in Miami

Henrik

By far the best hotel in Brickell I tend to do long term stays whenever possibleTop food – even when ordering room service the quality is above what you expect

Epic wine list which is available 24/7 Bar serves all the favourites including items you did not know were your favouritesThe suites are bigger and more bright than your average Miami suite Private ‘Beach’ on site and Private Pool area too, with non stop serviceBottom line: get a room before your neighbour

It was a decent place Nothing amazing, nothing terriblePros: big spacious rooms, nice bathrooms, and common areas are nice too

Staff was friendly and helpful Our flight got in early and they put us on a list to get our room ready faster and gave regular updates to us about itShuttle from the airport was very convenient and efficient!Pool area was nice If you don’t mind planes every 2 minutes overheadCons: rooms and facilities definitely need a repainting Lots of stuff marks and whatnot, same with bathroomsThe area the hotel is in is very industrial and there is nothing to go eat within walking distanceNot rated: food or barOverall, we would stay here again depending on the price at the time When we booked, the room was almost 200$ cheaper than it is at the time of our stay If we did not book earlier, we would certainly not stay for the current going price

Marissa L

Please I wish I could leave no starsI really had high expectations for this hotel

The pictures looked nice and the rates were decent Against my better judgment, I didn’t read any reviews for the property First, the area around the property immediately screamed “ghetto” The chairs in the lobby are so dirty, stained, and obviously need to be replaced My room had trash left from previous guests The shower (actually the entire bathroom) was absolutely disgusting There was Hair and stains everywhere The light switches were also stained and looked like they hadn’t been cleaned in years I honestly felt gross my entire stay I do not recommend this hotel at all The only good thing was that our room was close to the elevator so we could leave Ruined my trip for sure

Kelvinia Munnings

I enjoyed my stay here My stay was for 3 nights I gave it 4 stars because the restaurant was overpriced(IMO) and the ac wasn’t blowing hard enough

Was a little warm in room until the last night of my stay But everything else was great Staff was amazing Our shuttle driver was very nice There was a yoga setup in the room, which I thought was cool My family and I enjoyed the pool The hotel was very clean Not much within walking distance but if you’re driving, stores and other places aren’t far to get to Will be back again

Such a beautiful hotel My fiancé and I booked this hotel a night before our cruise and it was such an amazing stay and bonus to our trip The hotel has beautiful rooms which feel like luxury and we were even upgraded to a larger room with amazing views

Everything looked fresh and new, we truly loved our stay The staff were all pleasant and helpful and Andres the chief concierge helped with information about getting to our cruise and helped with printing our necessary documents which saved us so much time We can’t wait to visit again!

Mugsz Capone

Beyond happy with my stay at the JW marquis Miami Room was amazing, food was great !! Staff was very friendly However, I did want to give a extra shout out to Cynthia of the front desk

Dominican chick who was one of the most delightful people to meet Very nice, patient and well mannered She made what was an already an amazing experience for my wife and I, a even better one Also, Saramy the bartender by the pool the sweetest woman! Someone who really goes above and beyond to ensure the guest enjoy their experience Kudos to those two !

Magela Paez

Did a one night staycation Room was amazing Spacious, comfortable bed and pillows

Nice, big bathroom, TV screen in the mirror Bug tub and stand up shower Room has a desk for those that need to get some work done Wall to wall, floor to ground windows Ate dinner at the restaurant ground floor and the food was delicious A little bit on the pricier end Was there celebrating an anniversary so it was worth it to us The drinks were suburb! I would go back just for the drinks! Ordered room service the next day and I was blown away The breakfast was better than expected I would definitely go back for a weekend getaway to relax and disconnect

Lowane Emerald

Nice place to stay Calm neighborhood in general But the wall are thin like paper and unfortunately, my daughter and I has to deal with an arguing couple noises all night long

We felt like we were in the same house😔 The kitchen is full option, the place was very clean and comfy Didn’t like the bed but it’s just a question of taste There are buses stops around, some food markets 8 min away at feet

Isis

From start to finish, staying here was seamless! We got the code for the lock box well before check in time and we were able to check in and out with no interaction with others Towels, shampoo, and body wash are provided and the room has many provided amenities Our only complaint was that the walls were extremely thin and we could hear every word our neighbor was saying as well as when they were using their television

Just take that into consideration as it resulted in lost sleep for us

Turney Maurer

I stayed at Cottages El Portal while I had to host several presentations throughout Miami/Naples/Boca Raton for the week It was the perfect location to get anywhere, and the neighborhood was very quiet Made sleeping at night easy especially with the AC unit by the window next to the bed

My room had a full kitchen so I was able to go get groceries down the street, like a 5 minute drive away I would highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a lowkey stay in a cool, authentic Miami neighborhood with gyms, great restaurants, and everything else you need nearby

Kori MacDonald

My rating is mostly based on the airport shuttle Wish it ran more frequently than every hour, but it wasn’t a huge inconvenience Hotel front desk staff was laid back and nice

Quiet hotel, rooms were clean and seemed recently refurbished Close proximity to the airport, which is why we chose it Breakfast was included in our stay, but we weren’t able to experience it because we were leaving before it started Check out was easy as a Hilton Honors member Thankful the front desk asked if I’m a member since it was booked through a third party Nothing too special about this hotel in our 1-night (8 hour) stay, but also nothing bad!

Sean Stewart

This isn’t a 4 or 5 star hotel but was excellent for the price The area around the hotel isn’t great, but its not bad either Compared to other hotels in the price range its great

The breakfast area is nice and the pool area, while not large is pretty nice I was actually surprised how nice it was The staff were very helpful Definitely recommend

Thor Young

OK for an airport layover Not too far from the airport Shuttle bus blew by us for no reason so we had to take a cab, but the hotel reimbursed us for the trouble

Got the shuttle back to the hotel although it was overbooked What is the purpose of having a sign-in sheet for the hotel shuttle if you are going to let a bunch of other people on it first so the ones who actually signed up can’t get a seat? The hotel itself is fine The hotel neighborhood is OK – there is a shopping center across the street with a few simple restaurants you can grab something to eat, although they all close fairly early at night Rooms were good (typical Hampton Inn, fairly new, clean, good bathroom) Breakfast was fine Pool was closed Overall, decent place to stay if you are waiting for a flight the next day, but I don’t think I would stay here otherwise

Morgan Downs

Upon arrival, I felt welcomed and assisted by valet In the lobby, I was greeted promptly and warmly I had made some special requests on my reservation but they were never mentioned

Once in my room, it was hot and dark I immediately set the air to cool the room but that took a few hours to do so Luckily, I was leaving for an event, though when I returned the few hours later, the room was still a bit warm and humid I was surprised to have to set up the coffee maker myself, as it was stored away in a cabinet There were no snacks or drinks in the room My shower did not transition completely from one head to the other, so one leaked while the other was in use (there are two), lowering water pressure The pool deck is very niceI never understand why hotels that are more costly, with high-merit pricing, charge for parking Ridiculous What am I paying for? There were no luxuries that made this stay worth my funds I would not stay here again for what I paid I would try somewhere else

R D

Hotel was very nice and clean Stayed in a junior sweet which had plenty of room for 5 people Hotel was about 10 minutes from cruise port, maybe less

So location was very convenient for us We were able to take a ride share after settling in to the nearby shopping area as well Would definitely stay here again when cruising out of Miami

John Hurst

Hilton staff are always above par anywhere you are in the world! I have been to many Hilton’s in many many locations and this location was no different! Staff that was very detail oriented and of course handled any needs and wants with a smile This location isn’t far from the airport and was an obvious choice for Hilton members Great location! Close to shopping and great food

Parking should have been covered with your stay but was not, the concierge will provide a discount card instead This is the reason for the 4 stars for location category We stayed in the Presidential Suite which provided an absolutely massive room and a killer view with multiple angles of the city and the water All in all a great location and my favorite Hilton staff so far! Great job!Thanks,

NOAH

The Standard Spa in Miami Beach is a beautiful oasis and somewhat of a hidden gem in Miami Beach My only reservation in writing a review is that part of its charm is that it remains undiscovered by the masses and feels like an intimate and relaxing playground even on its busy daysIn writing this review I must mention two of its most valued and thoughtful employees by name, Taryn and Oscar

Taryn is The Standard’s director of guest experiences and goes above and beyond every day to make hotel guests and members feel like family Her kindness, attention to detail, and consideration in all of her interactions is second to none Every single encounter with her leaves you with a smile on your face and the feeling that she truly takes pride in her ability to make your day an even better one She is a wonderful person and The Standard is incredibly lucky to have her in their employOscar is the pool manager and his incredibly boundless energy and dedication is seen and experienced by all every minute of the day He never stops moving through sunset and is incredibly attentive to every situation and aspect of his position His managerial excellence with the staff is evident every single shift and he has a genuine concern for each and every guest and member as well He juggles many roles poolside and is as likely to correct any issue personally as he is to help his team improve He has been a staple atThe Standard and has been loved by all who visit for as long as I can remember He is truly a gift and genuinely as kind and thoughtful as anyone I have ever metAs The Standard moves into its bright future under new ownership I hope that it retains the magic it has always created for every visitor and that these two gems are a major part helping create the excellent guest and member experiences it has become known to provide2022 may be The Standard’s greatest year filled with many beautiful updates and carefully considered improvements throughout its beautiful South Beach home A home you simply have to visit to believe is real

Lisa Woodard

So fun!!!! NOT KID FRIENDLY! The spa is spectacular and co-ed the coffee bar was amazing Good by the pool was so yummy!! They brought water the moment we sat down!One complaint was the smoking

Cigarettes and weed EVERYWHERE I felt like I was going to get a contact high from the joints being smoked at the pool

Anna Wright

I love The Standard hotels generally, but this is a whole vibe A great place to have a good time but equally a real haven from Miami Beach madness You can easily and happily spend full days here

Staff are super attentive and helpful, views are great, the gym is massive and ending the day with a drink by the fire pit in the garden is delightful Think I’d like to move in

Olga Morales

I came to the hotel for a wedding and stayed the night Check in was online and very easy The front desk made it very simple and were helpful

The servers at the venue were efficient for the most part I found myself asking for water on more than one occasion, though The room I stayed in was clean The view was nice, but we couldn’t go out on the balcony due to construction The room had everything you needed, but I noticed that the fridge was placed outside the cabinets which caused me to hear it throughout the night and it interrupted my sleep Checking out was easy as well You exit the parking garage and place your keys in the box next to the keypad

Purpose: BusinessFrom reading the reviews, I wasn’t expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised Customer service was on point, tons of options at the market place, one of the only Marriott properties that have room service, convenient shuttle, attentive staff, and it seemed pretty lively at night The staff was pretty attentive as I wanted to switch rooms because of the closeness of the elevator

Other than that, I will definitely choose this property again

Lyn Smith

This was our first trip to Miami and it was very eventful! For starters, it had been a long night for us Our flight arrived after midnight so of course we were extremely tired We were initially checked in to a room that was obviously pet friendly given the potent smell of animal urine

We understand loving your fur babies however this was a bit overwhelmingWe went to the front desk however not much could be done to accommodate us; even though the Night Auditor did tryWe made the best of it but after a terrible night’s sleep, we decided to try again to relocate the next day I had the pleasure of speaking with Francine who was absolutely WONDERFUL! She took care of us like family and really made our day!She apologized and checked us into another room immediately She also explained to my husband that the previous night didn’t allow for such and they would pay more attention to cleaning after pets from now onMarriott is always our hotel of choice Even though we’ve not had many bad experiences, the staff always looks to make our stay as pleasant as possibleThank you again Francine for ensuring we will choose this location again when we visit soon We truly appreciate everything you did to make this celebratory trip amazing!

Don’t forget to use ʜoᴛᴇʟʙᴏʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking a resort This site will compare thousands of hotel sites and usually will have prices much cheaper compared to others! Thank me later on! This place is one of the highest rated in the area

I have been staying here for a long time If you choose this place you definitely won’t be disappointedThey are always very good to me and my family Very clean and decently maintained Food options for dinner are not to our liking but I’m sure it has a lot to do with covid-19

Before of the pandemic we went to the hotel a couple of times, we decided to return on spring this year The hotel was renovated Rooms are beautifulI must highlight and thank the excellent service and attention that Luis always gave us (sorry, I don’t know his last name), Luis the manager is very professional, kind, funny and extremely polite

With a person of those qualities, it is a great experience to stay there Thank you very much Gaythering, thank you very much “Luis”

Hison Mitchell

I stayed here Wednesday night The staff were very nice and accommodating The bartenders were great

The “crate” I was in was very nice It was basically the size of an average hotel room I was expecting smaller I would definitely stay here and recommend others When I checked in I told the guy helping me that if the hold for incidentals was more than $50 that I wanted to use a different card He tells me yeah we’re going to need another card I ask him how much their hold was to decide which credit card I would use He tells me there’s not a set number but if you only have $50 on your card that won’t cover if you break something Whatever his intentions were by saying that, it came off condescending Especially since all your furniture is attached to room and there is nothing to break I decided to just ignore it in the moment to avoid getting upsetEveryone else there were great so it turned out fine But I would suggest not saying something like that to someone Even if you weren’t trying to be condescending it very much was So I knocked it down a star

Ricardo Pacelli Freitas

I’ve stayed at Hotel Gaythering three times and every single time was unforgettableThe rooms are very clean, the sheets and pillows are comfortable, and the ambience is phenomenalThey offer free bikes to ride around south beach, free beach towels, beach umbrellas, ice… they really have everything

Gaythering also has the best gay sauna in Miami right downstairs, and hotel guests have free access to it! Oh! I almost forgot to mention the gay bar with drag shows, games and karaoke!The staff is so accommodating and welcoming! They make me feel at home! Special thanks to Dupaul and Luis for being so awesome!Did I mention they have a pancake machine?Gaythering is the best option for gay men in Miami Just book your reservation already!

Tracy Barnhart

The property is beautiful and in a great location My room was spacious and clean However, the hotel is in need of cosmetic refreshing

The furniture in the lobby is worn, the ceiling vents in the meeting rooms are surrounded by black dirt, and the public bathrooms look “tired” I expected more from a luxury hotel Also, the elevators can be very slow More than once, there were 20 people waiting in line to get on the elevators in the lobby, even though there are six elevators available At one point, hotel staff let us use the service elevator, which was appreciated There were a few times that I had to wait several minutes for an elevator to pick me up on the 24th floor My colleagues said the same thing happened to them I didn’t receive an emailed receipt from the hotel and had to call twice to have one sent to me Overall, I enjoyed my stay and would stay here again

Antonio Araujo (Antonimator)

We came to vacation to visit my family that lives in in Miami and decided to stay a hotel for part of the trip This hotel is so nice, the pool is heated and the gym is clean and has brand new equipment The rooms are clean and comfortable

We paid for vip club access and got breakfast, tea time and happy hour throughout the day Fernando was our server for tea time and happy hour and he was very friendly and professional I’m very impressed with he level of service in the hotel

Ralf Assmann

It was an amazing experience, from valet parking to check-in everyone was very friendly and helpful The design of the interior is very luxurious The room was great and the view was beautiful

We booked online and I found a great deal with parking and breakfast already included I also liked that it is in walking distance to the hard rock cafe

The balcony door won’t stay closed because the whole locking mechanism is rusted beyond repairNever mind, we’ll just go downstairs for dinner and a drink Nope The hotel has 508 rooms and no restaurant It’s the pandemic was the explanation No, it’s really poor management that can’t retain staff because they treat them so poorlyBut you can eat in the bar I got an $1800 Cuban sandwich that wasn’t edible I complained to the waiter, and then the bar manager who didn’t apologize or offer a replacement She shrugged and walked awayBeyond the lack of food, the hotel has jacked up the prices of drinks A glass of wine is $1700 The wine costs less than $1500 for a bottle They know you can’t go anywhere nearby and do they are happy to gouge their guestsSkip the wine and have a draft beer to beat the heat No, the draft system has been broken for 10 days now But, they explained, it’s sure to be fixed sometime soon(ish)I repeat, do not stay at this hotel

We were pleasantly surprised with what we received The staff were amazingly nice and helpful The hotel is great for the price you pay

We got to check-in early without being charged I know, it sounds like everyone should expect that but I don’t except anything more than what it states in the contract This facility went above and beyond for us I would highly recommend it and hope everyone receives the great service that we did Thank you for making our honeymoon unforgettable

We made a brief overnight stay here on a Friday night before cruising It’s a beautiful hotel with a lovely pool on site It has a restaurant, convenience store, and coffee shop on site

It is also near other shopping and restaurants and very conveniently located to the airport with a free shuttle service The suite we stayed in had a lovely room and bathroom with a separate living room, television and balcony overlooking the pool The hotel is reasonably priced and staff was warm and welcoming

My husband & I stayed here Sunday-Thursday because I had a procedure Monday that required me to be on bed rest The welcome was very gracious & kind We got exactly what we wanted- peace & quiet

The hotel was clean & the staff was kind I especially liked the window sill/sofa in the room to get a little sun while I was on rest!When it came to the food- we couldn’t go wrong We tried almost everything at Edge during breakfast, lunch & dinner & everything was delectableMy only issue would be the valet I’ve always been hesitant to do valet (no matter the level of the hotel) & this left another bad mark on me My app notified me that my car was unlocked & had the windows down all night When I woke up I notified the front desk & they resolved it, but I truly believe that’s something shouldn’t have occurred My car now has a peculiar smell

We stayed at the Four Seasons Miami-Brickell for two weeks this June From the moment of our arrival to check-out, we couldn’t have been more pleased with our stay The entire staff went above and beyond to make our entire family comfortable and satisfied

From meeting our every need to sending a sizable chocolate tennis racket arrangement when my daughter got into medical school, the staff exceeded our expectations in every possible manner The food and drink was world-class—the chefs and bartenders worked tirelessly to prepare meals and beverages to our specific preferences While the entire staff was fantastic, Santa was a particular highlight of our stay Throughout our trip, she ensured we were always taken care of, from valet to housekeeping, restaurant booking and much more The manager at the pool was equally wonderful, and helped us book a last-minute reservation at an extremely popular restaurant in Miami The housekeeping staff was clean, efficient, and incredibly warm to each member of our family—always doing their best to meet our various needs I give my highest recommendation to the Four Seasons Miami-Brickell and look forward to returning as soon as possible for another stay

My literal favorite hotel in Miami I know most people think “I want to be on the beach”, but for me the service, and feel here is just 10/10The pool is beautiful and gives you an amazing day in the sun

You are always a quick hop to the beach as wellI can not express enough how much I love and recommend this hotel! Safe travels

We absolutely loved staying here The Hyatt Regency in Coral Gables graciously upgraded us to a suite so we could have a separate area for our son’s crib The room was lovely, very clean, lots of bright, natural sunlight from the windows and roomy

It is an older building that was renovated, so one evening our neighbors were being very loud So the sound-proofing isn’t perfect However, when we called to complain about the noise to the front desk, they must have promptly addressed it, because the neighbors quieted down soon after The pool area is wonderful There were plenty of loungers and places to sit, both in the shade and sun We spent several hours on the pool deck with our infant son without any issues of sun exposure The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of Coral Gables, which provided a lot of great dining options The hotel dining options are quite pricy, however It cost me almost $6 for a 12-ounce iced coffee, whereas the next day I walked 3 miles to a Starbucks and paid $450 for a large iced coffee The lobby and overall ambiance is great We can’t wait to stay here again!

We had 96 rooms and 3 functions at his property related to my daughters wedding, which was at a country club dues to capacity constraints there The staff who interacted with me during the booking process were fantastic They were customer focused, flexible and a pleasure to work with

The other staff from front desk to valet (outside company) were all greatThe property itself was nice, with a warm and welcoming ambience It needs some upgrades,- including a new elevator which I am told they are working on replacing

Caroline Fernandez

Very clean, very beautiful hotel The front desk is very kind and helpful I highly recommend asking for the map of the food in the area because it’s excellent

My only recommendation is to add hours to the map, but that’s me just being picky The front desk was accommodating when we needed to move rooms due to noisy neighbors Also, the cucumber water and cafecito in the lobby is key Anyway, the rooms are roomy and the beds are comfy And you’re so close to many of the eateries in Coral Gables If you need to stay in the area, this is a beautiful option

Remember to use ʜoᴛᴇʟʙᴏʟʟʏᴄᴏm when booking any room They compare countless hotel sites and typically will have rooms a lot cheaper compared to others! Thank me later on! This hotel is one of the most well known in this area

I’ve been staying here for years If you stay for a few nights you won’t regret itA 20 something year old hotel with open spaces and water features this property is large, clean, and relaxing The room was perfect for our 1st night after our long plane ride It was comfortable and quiet I hardly ever heard another person and we arrived in the middle of spring break We will come again if we travel this way again

Daniel Rocha

Hotel staff is super friendly and helpful Efficient in cleaning the rooms and help at the conference rooms as well The room although great and clean, had a weird layout in the bathroom making the shower stall very small, and the height of the shower very low

The location is great Walking distance from the mais street in the grove Lots of things to do around and close to the water front too

Channa Borman

Beautifully appointed rooms, elegant lobby, delicious food at the restaurant, great service from front desk staff But maybe most fun feature was the hospitality of the bellman Steven who gave us great restaurant recommendations when he took our luggage to the room and was hilarious in his descriptions of the options Great choice

Can’t go wrong here

This hotel is OLD That’s the main word that comes to mind The rooms are huge, but they’re super sparse

There’s two tiny nightstands that are placed so far from the bed you can reach them There’s a desk that’s got dents and scratches everywhere All of the furniture is this old granite on top of old fake wood The bathroom is old linoleum and plastic There’s nothing on the bathroom counter Not even cups for water or holding your toothbrush The sinks are old and the handles are old There’s even weird liquid dried up on the walls in the bathroomEven the art is dated and the frames look like they live been here for 80 years In addition, they’ve been doing construction in the room above me for hours and no one seems to know when it will stop Tried calling the concierge He got super awkward and told me he’d call me back Never didThe only good thing about this hotel is the view from the rooms That said, you’ve got a great balcony but no chairs or anything on it and there’s not even an extra chair in the room for you to take out there to enjoyThe pool is at the same level as the highway so it’s super loud The chairs are literally falling apart The towels that they provide are just shower towelsLastly, the walls are paper thin I heard every single person that came in last nightI’d probably suggest somewhere else in Miami, this is not a 4 star Hyatt

Bogdan Balajel

Just got here and planing to stay for 8 days It’s nice but not special The reason I am giving this hotel such a bad rating is because they don’t keep that traveler is mind

This hotel is “too good” to have a guest laundry room Too good to provided basic needs for a traveler In the last week I have spent each night at a different hotel ( not one other negative review given) I drove five hours to get here only to be left with a dilemma of if I want to spent 7-15$ per piece of clothing to get washed via the ridiculous dry cleaning laundry service they provide Or get back in my car find a laundry mat and hope I can get it all done before 4 pm tomorrow Imagine if I needed it by 8am or 6 am No time to rest, no time to unwind just panic and uncertainty Not the first vibe any hotel should aspire to create for its guests This hotel is not all one star, but I have given this rating to raise the attention of its superiors to do something about this Let’s make laundry rooms the norm at all hotels And let’s me hotels that have the “I’m too good you” a vibe of the past

Tracy MacMullin

I had a great experience The room I was given was a corner room with floor to ceiling windows and amazing views from every direction I booked a pool view and got a great deal on it

The beds were very comfy, the room was clean, the lobby and hotel decor was beautiful and the staff were curteous and helpful Unfortunately I didn’t get to use the hotel amenities as much as I’d like There were places I wanted to try inside the hotel because to my surprise they had vegan options, but it just didn’t work out because we were so busyThe only downside is that we visited during a busy time so one of the pools (the super nice one with the waterfall and slide) was always so packed that you couldn’t get a lawn chair or any seating etc There was way too many people It would be gross to go into a pool with that many people packed into it as well So unfortunately I was super excited for the pools and didn’t really get to use them It’s Orlando though, there was so much to do that it wasn’t a deal breaker We did use the secondary pool a couple times which was also pretty busy I removed a star due to the pool issuesI’m very happy with my experience here If I’m back in Orlando I will stay here again as long as it’s not during busy season

Our stay at the Hilton Bentley was fantastic We arrived before check in, and were told we would have an upgraded room due to our gold status to a 1 bedroom suite! It stated a courtyard view, but truly it had a fantastic view of the ocean The room was large, and well appointed with the kitchenette, large bathroom and balcony

Staff was all very nice and accommodating, everything was very clean, and house keeping was good We were quickly supplied with any additional needs (amenities, towels, etc) The first day we sat at the beach while waiting for our room, and ordered drinks and food from the restaurant We also ate at the restaurant on our second day, and I had the grilled octopus and it was delicious Service was great all around, and it was truly just a fantastic stay and getaway for my husband and I We saw families enjoying the hotel also, and we would return as a family because the 1 bedroom suites are so roomy Enjoy!

We had a great stay this week! The front staff and beach staff were very polite and so helpfulOur room was clean, no strange stains as other guests have mentioned The food at Santorini’s was delicious and arrived in a timely manner to our beach chairs

The drinks were also greatThere are two pools and a jacuzzi We enjoyed them all I agree that it is a little confusing to find info on the amenities, but the guest services staff members were helpful in answering my questionsI would stay here again!

AEJ

The hotel and rooms are nice and very clean The grounds are lovely, but if you want to swim in the pool, you’ll be surrounded by restaurant patrons seated right next to the pool Also, if room service is important to you, be aware that it’s basically just takeout in a bag

It was very helpful to have a fully stocked kitchen with microwave, stovetop and large fridge, but be aware that there is no dishwasher Climate control was a challenge We had a one bedroom suite, with only one thermostat, which was in the kitchen, and there were only 2 vents ~ the larger one in the kitchen and the other, very small one in the bedroom closet, so we had to leave the closet and bedroom doors open at night, and the bedroom was still very warm
