Riu Florida Beach Hotel

The hotel is Okay.

exceptionally helpful staff beautiful location!

The Riu South Beach was located on a beautiful stretch of beach in South Miami. Hotel staff was friendly and tried hard to meet the needs of their guests. Hotel room was very basic. If you're looking for a room of luxury keep looking. The pool area was top notch and the view from the room was 5 star. The location of the hotel was great if you like the night clubs. You can visit the best clubs in town for about a $5 cab ride. I would suggest this hotel for location and view if you don't plan to spend a lot of time in the room. You are right on the Miami board walk and can walk for hours enjoying the view of the Atlantic. I would stay again for the location.

this motel is at a great location,the staff that is not working the front desk are very friendly.the front desk are very hard to under stand .the man that answers the house phone acts like it takes all of his energy just to talk,very hard to understand,and if you have two questions you will need to call back becuase he just hangs up after answering the fist question.they did not tell us not to drink te water at check in but in there hotel book it says the water is not drinkable.tis is a older hotel with only one working elevator that is very slow.

Very poor staff,some of them don't even speak the language , elevators were broken , the beach was dirty , the pool was also dirty, Only part that we enjoy was the breakfast , On the lobby ceilings has some spots damages by water an no repair , no even a paint to cover those damages , Pool attendance is very poor and at 700 pm they almost kick you out of the pool , no recomended to anybody

The stay at the Riu hotel was pleasent, not fabulous but good. The hotel was in a great location, there was always a taxi and there was a bus stop right out front. The pool area was extremely nice. The beds were very comfortable and upon check in...we found the rooms to be clean and very fresh smelling. The hotel is not a place to go if you are looking for an experience, it is very relaxed...but not a party or social atmosphere at all. The staff was a slow in response when we called for towels, and in the morning the cleaning person just comes in..I would stay there again on business...but I think for absolute fun...I would stay somewhere else. Overall, I think its great for families, but not so much for singles. Great for business..but not so much for pleasure. Great for leisure...but not if you are looking for a social atmosphere.

Upon my arrival at the Riu, I was greeted by a bellman who must have been from Puerto Rico. He escorted me to the front desk, where I was greeted by a young lady who was from Switzerland. Our Room and View was spectacular. We met someone new everyday from a different part of the world. And Our pool side bartender was the most helpful of all. We were treated like royalty. I highly recommend The Riu Beach Hotel In miami Florida. The Riu has the greatest staff and the nicest pool in all of South Beach. I will be returning and Staying at the Riu.

the hotel it self is great.the beach and pool area is even better..the people are nice..the only thing that wasnt to good is that the hotel is fare from everything..make sure you have cab money..but over all its was a nice stay

Our first impression was poor when the bellmen at the entrance ignored us and our rather heavy bags. The rooms have no coffee makers and none is available until 7:30 am,lousy shower,no free papers ,all buffet no menus. wait staff in resturant were friendly and helpful, check in people were also helpful and friendly. Pool was ok. Would spend more to stay at a nicer place next time.

Very good value for the price. Convenient location. Nice pool area. Right on the beach!! Wouldn't recommend too long of a stay. Hotel walls are thin. Few employees speak English well. Walking distance to the south beach action.
