Great location! $35 taxi ride from the port of Miami. Check in was easy. They only have rooms with TWO beds, no queen or king for couples - weird. The rooms had a terrible and overwhelming air freshener scent - we had to open the windows. The grounds are beautiful, pool is perfect degree in temp. We only ate at... More

We really liked the front desk staff and valets. They were very friendly. The servers in the bar areas and restaurant were not friendly and most seemed to really hate their job and the customers. We loved our room on the 7th floor overlooking the ocean and the balcony was huge. We went to the dinner buffet and it was... More

We stopping in the riu for 7 nights, our room was lovely and big and very clean so don't no what others are on about as you could of held a party in the rooms. All the staff very friendly and helpful, breakfast was amazing, could have a choice of anything you wishes for, all fresh and nice and hot,... More

I have been to many other Riu's at the Caribbean so I figured this would be a viable option for my stay in Miami. Boy was I wrong. First off are the rooms, small, cramped, TWIN BEDS ( the mattresses have a huge valley in the middle and hurt my back) , and the smell in the room of swear... More

Good impression on arivial, reasonable room and a nice pool. However the beach had no loungers unless you paid (other hotels nearby did). Glad we were only staying 1 night as there was a lot of construction work nearby and it was noisy. Disapointing restaurant $28.50pp for a mediocre buffet. No WiFi.

I traveled to Miami for work and found this hotel on Expedia – it was one of the less expensive ones but as it’s located on Collins Drive I figured it couldn’t be that bad. Upon arrival, the first thing I noticed was how incredibly nice the lobby was. I checked in but didn’t have time to look at the... More

We weren't staying here but decided to have lunch here as it was a RIU so we thought it would be good...WRONG. We sat by the pool as the main restaurant was closed in the afternoon. There were 4 staff members hanging out at the cabana bar chatting but not serving customers as they're supposed to. We waited 5 mins... More

DO NOT STAY HERE! It will ruin your trip. The staff is worthless, the rooms have not been renovated since 1981, the walls are PAPER thin, and did I mention that the staff is WORTHLESS? It is as if they go out of there way to provide you with the worst possible service and to be rude just for the... More

The Riu Florida Beach Miami disappointed us. We have stayed in Riu's before and always found them to have great standards and service. This one was a let down. The hotel is quite run down, whilst we had a large room the decor needs updating and it wasn't particularly clean and smelt musty. The staff were not great, they weren't... More
