We have stayed there for 6 nights in September. Excepting the fact that is 10 minutes walking from the "party" zone - everything else was by far better than expected. We werent bothered to much about that 10 min walking distance as Miami beach has a fantastic and inspired deck to walk around just on the shore - you can... more

My Partner and I stayed here in September 2008. Based on previous reviews, I do have to say that the hotel was better than I expected, but it is simply not up to standard and that's a fact that is not open to interpretation. The man behind reception took my Credit Card for any extras and then promptly disappeared out... more

I stayed in Riu Florida Beach hotel for 3 days last august and I must say that the hotel is not what one would expect from RIU.. The room was big (too big because the bed was in one end and the tv in the other end of the room so it became hard do see any tv without getting... more

I dont know where the previous reviewer stayed but it was not the Riu we were at. Damp smelly rooms, mould in the bathrooms, grubby. This is not to mention the fantastic views of the sea through the derelict hotel next to the Riu that the rooms overlooked - smashed and boarded up windows, smashed concrete, stagnant water and graffitti.... more

This hotel is like royalty in the lobby, the rooms are excellent, however I would not recommend that Disabled people stay here as they only have 2 elevators serving 10 floors. Me and my mum started getting used to using the stairs. The Valets are not talkative but they are cheerful .. I would recommend this hotel, but not to... more

this is not i repeat not hell on earth as one guest implies. the hotel is in an area that is having massive reconstruction undertaken in the area between the rui and the area people know as south beach. the hotel is nice friendly and clean with a beautiful beach right outside. the buffet breakfast is superb and pool area... more

Both lifts worked, we had a bathroom, we had a seaview, Most of the staff are really nice and helpfull, however a four star hotel?? I have stayed in better 3 stars. It was our honeymoon and also my birthday so we decieded to book what looked like the best hotel they had to offer in the agents. (I kind... more

Although being a Spanish chain, we had never been in a RIU hotel and after an extensive search, we finally chose it for our 2 days stay in Miami. After being there I can say that we more or less agree with all the previous reviews. Pros: a) Concierge: Same as another reviewer, they could not find our reservation (4... more

This was due to be the relaxing part of our holiday after New York And Washington and I must admit I was worried after some recent reviews! We chose the Riu partly because we could upgrade to a seaview room with our travel agent and this couldn't be guaranteed with some of the more famous, central hotels. As we were... more
