Rooms are often dated with some bathroom privacy quirks and hard to adjust air conditioning, though many enjoy ocean-view balconies. Cleanliness ranges from very clean spaces to reports of odors, stained linens, and maintenance problems like inconsistent hot water. Breakfast is frequently highlighted as plentiful and tasty; dinner options draw mixed reviews and can feel pricey.

Facilities

Beachfront access and a pleasant pool area are positives, but facilities frequently struggle with slow or out-of-service elevators, early or occasional pool closures, limited beach chairs, and costly, scarce valet parking; the gym is very small and equipment can be broken. Some outlets close early and the property is largely cashless.

The hotel is pretty average. Property is very small. Forget about the gym. It’s the smallest area I’ve ever seen. The hotel has a valet parking service that’s is terrible. The damage my car and they were trying to tell me that they didn’t do it. The cameras they have aren’t clear at all. Manager at the hotel did not do anything about it. Overall poor. I won’t return to this property.

Corridors to the rooms were dirty and the room was dated. The service was generally good but unfortunately the hotel is in dire need of some investment. The pool area was also tired and could be made a lot better. Also unable to use cash at the property. Only card or charged to the room. Not greet if you want to keep tabs on expenditure.

We came for 3 nights for a wedding. It was just ok. The elevator being the biggest flaw. Too many guests for only 2 elevators.it was a long wait each time we had to take it. Our room was ocean view with a balcony. The view was nice. The linens and towels were stained and there was a toenail on the floor. The beds were comfortable. The morning buffet was pretty chaotic. A lot of choices but nothing made me want to go back. Lots of seating around the pool but a smaller pool than what we expected. Location was convenient. I guess for Miami prices this is standard. I just wouldn’t return.

There were plenty of spots at the pool even though the hotel was sold out. The only problem we had was with the parking. We booked this hotel because there was parking, yes for an additional charge. We didn\'t have a car the 1st 2 nights but then we had a car on the 3rd night. When we pulled up to the hotel there was a sign "lot was full". We called the front desk and an associate told us there should be a spot for us since we had a room. Turns out there are over 300 rooms but only about 60 paring spots. This was not noted on their website. The parking is a separate vendor, also not noted on their website. The associated should never have given us false information. He should have said parking is a separate vendor you need to check with them regarding the full lot. We wasted time trying to figure it out.

First- it takes a lot for me to leave a negative review as a business owner I know the impact it can make but this needs to be addressed. This hotel was not cheap and we were very disappointed in the Riu. The room smelled like sewage the whole time. They were fixing the ceiling outside our room and drilling and hammering beginning at 7am every day.we weren’t told of any construction when we booked( maybe there was an accident, not sure) We notified the staff that the smell and noise was concerning and they sent someone up a couple hours later to “check” the room. He came in opened the bathroom door and looked in and said he will be back but never returned. There were several things broken in the room ( glass on table, lock on patio etc. This was our first stay at Riu resorts and we won’t ever stay with this company again.

Hotel Riu was a decent stay but I definitely wouldn’t stay again without major upgrades. Staff was attentive at outside pool areas but upon check in the front desk informed me that checkout was later than expected and the employee seemed a bit frustrated with my confusion and questions. Awe found a roach in our room the first night so we were able to move rooms the next day, but the hallways and walls were not the cleanest and elevators were slow and small making transport to and from the lobby difficult. Finally on our second day of the trip the pool was closed because it was “not safe to swim in and remained closed for the remainder of our trip which was extremely disappointing. I will not stay at this property again.

The worst check-in experience by far. We first arrived the hotel early at 10:45am, not expecting to have our room ready, we were told room will be ready early afternoon. (Schedule check in time was 3pm). We returned to hotel at 2:45pm was told the rooms are not ready, but their “guarantee” check in time is no later than 3pm we waited for another half hour not getting our room until 3:20pm. No apologies were made. Even they are the ones telling me “guarantee” 3pm. They told me too bad, room is not ready, human make mistake, nothing we can do about it. 8 customers between 2:45 and 3:15 checked in for their room right away. How is my room not ready when I told them I am ready in the morning but not getting my room until 3:20, while other customer just walked in and check in get their room right away? After we get into our room, there’s a really loud and continuous noise, I called the front desk two times, nobody came to our room to check.

The front desk team does not understand or execute a service culture. We stayed at the hotel for 4 days and on the first day informed the front desk that our televison was not functioning. They sent several maintenance people to check on it each time, the maintenance folks told us that there was nothing they could do to fix it. We asked to move and were told nothing available. We were told they would speak with management and get back to us- never heard a word. Upon check out, I asked if they would do anything on the invoice and was told that was not in their control. seems like not much is in their control. Need some service training.

So much to like about this property. Even with being rained out, the amenities and space made up for the down time. Alvin, at check in, was so help and accommodating, all while remaining calm, professional and kind. A lot of his female counterparts could use a lesson from him. The wait staff was so fun and efficient. We loved that the property was super family friendly, and everything was in walking distance. The pool and beach did not disappoint. Will return.

By far the worse service with no accommodation for beach seating yet they charge for resort fees. When it was addressed the answer was "I just work here" "I donno" staff was rude and did not care when seating for pool and beach was addressed. Eye rolling and "checked out" staff....

Don't stay here if you've got a car. Their valet staff were consistently rude and wouldn't let us pull into the driveway to simply unload our bags and check-in. He even criticized us for renting a car in the first place saying, "You should've just Ubered here" (although we were already 8 days into a 10-day trip through Florida.) Parking is almost always full (despite being an additional $40-50/day) so we were sent to park at a different hotel several blocks away (for $40-50/day.) And to make matters worse, our room was facing the street so we were constantly having to listen to the valet workers honking up a storm below us. It was such a bad first impression on the hotel, but the front desk manager said valet was subcontracted, so there was nothing they would do. He did promise to have the GM reach out and possibly move rooms to non-street-side, but no one ever followed up. Breakfast buffet was very impressive and for the most part, their staff was very accommodating and helpful. I don't think I'd stay there again (unless they change valet vendors) as my business requires we rent a car.

Mid-beach Hotel is old although the 1st floor is reconditioned very nicely. Oceanfront room was dated, but quite large and good bathroom. Surrounding area is very quiet, not many restaurant options. If you are looking for outdoor restaurants, cafes, entertainment or bars, this is not the place - maybe go closer to 14th Ave. area. Great beach area & free lounges & umbrellas. Pool closes early (6 pm). On site restaurant is expensive. Personnel were very helpful and pleasant.

We stayed here for 4 days before a cruise, photos looked like the hotel was to the usual Riu good standards however we were most disappointed. We found the room and hotel quite tired looking and in need updating. The sun loungers on the beach need replacing, we had broken beds, one day had beds with chewing gum stuck to them! The food was ok, we only had breakfast but found it repetitive after the few days. The evening buffet was quite expensive and found it better / easier to walk out to other local restaurants. Overall quite disappointing for a hotel chain that we have stayed in before and had great experiences.

This hotel is better than I expected. Their staff were friendly all places. Their pool is kids friendly, max deep being 4 feet 9 inches starting from 3 feet. Its never crowded. Their Breakfast and dinner buffet is top class. Anyone booking this hotel, I would strongly recommend to book both breakfast and dinner package. Otherwise its $25 taxes for breakfast and $37 taxes for their dinner. Few things to call out - there is no self parking and valet parking costs $43/night. Their one of elevators were not working during my stay causing wait time in lobby. The person at live station in dinner area did not understand english and I had to call some other staff to make him understand in Spanish what I want. Overall, a great place to spend time with family.

The hotel is very good, with clean, comfortable, and well-maintained rooms. The location is excellent, making it easy to access the main attractions in the area. The staff were generally attentive and helpful. The breakfast was very good, with a nice variety of options and well-prepared food. The hotel facilities are also pleasant and look just like the photos. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay and think it is a great option for those looking for comfort and convenience. The only downside was the noise in the hallways. At times, it was possible to hear people talking and walking through the corridors, especially during quiet hours. For light sleepers, this could be a little disturbing. Overall, though, I had a very good experience and would stay at the hotel again.

Good morning. I wanted to try and reach the correct management for this Riu and hopefully it's you. We stayed at Riu plaza Miami Beach 1 night before our cruise Saturday August 29th checked out August 30th. Reception was really friendly and the rest goes down. Only 1 elevator working, we had room 907 room had moldy mildew smell that was terrible, room was clean beds are worn out. We paid extra for supper and let me tell you it was terrible, I could have went to McDonald's and had a better meal, a bottle of tea was $7.44 ridiculous! Service was good. We went back to the room hungry and tried sleeping but moldy mildew smell sent our breathing and allergies going crazy, not to forget how terrible the beds were, also I itched all night from the bed. We went to breakfast and it was about the same. When we went to checkout I told front desk a little but not everything because they was charging me a resort fee for use of facilities etc. I explained that we hadn't used the facilities as we checked in at 530 range and left at 930 am. I still had to pay it!! I tried to explain but they still charged I even told them. We paid in excess of $285 plus resort fees and food was included but would never do that again. We was assuming that being RIU it would be outstanding. We've stayed at around 8 to 10 different Riu resorts Mexico Jamaica Dominican and New York. Just feel like ripped off and wasted my money. I wanted to reach out to you because it says you're in management. We b

Clean property. Attentive staff. Ocean front room with a welcome gift was a extremely nice touch. The room was clean wth great view. Extra pillows would have been nice they were flat. Breakfast was better than most places we stayed at, it just a mad rush of people. The staff worked hard to clean and clear tables to accommodate guests. The hair dryer and outlets in bathroom didn’t work and elevators were down first night, so had to wait on service elevator, which was not fun. We ate at dinner buffet the first night and it was not bad, various options. Beach chairs were plenty and no problem getting one. The hallway signs say ice is on floors 5,7 and 9 but your room key doesn’t access other floors to get ice. No cable tv in rooms only live tv from local stations. WiFi was good but can only use two devices at the same time with the password. The location is approximately 2 miles away from South Beach. Restaurant options in walking distance of the hotel are few. Valet is pricey but no other parking options in area. The valet staff are quick to retrieve the vehicles all day and night. Overall it was a good stay as this hotel is not the party hotel like RIU properties in Cancun, which is not a bad thing. The hotel lobby, swimming pool and beach area is beautiful. The staff worked hard to make you feel welcome.
