All-inclusive travelers might know the name Riu from past vacations, but this Miami Beach property is different with bookings including room only. The 284-room hotel has direct beach access, an adult and children's swimming pools and a poolside bar and grill. An extensive breakfast buffet -- which includes on the spot cooking stations -- draws the regulars and guests can pay separately.

Great for a relaxing girls trip!
I stayed at the Riu for 4 days for a girls trip and we had a great time! The rooms were bright and clean. We had the perfect Oceanfront and pool view room. I was even left a litte souvenir by the staff for my birthday. The food was fresh and the service was quick. Quick walk down the boardwalk to South Beach night life. I would definitely come back again!

summer vacation
It was a less than average hotel. Desk staff has no idea what customer service is. The pool was small and overcrowded. The buffet was gross and no room service was offered. I was overcharged for parking. The location was okay, but only if you have a car. More of a family resort, not adult.

Old World Elegance
Like most Miami Beach hotels, the Riu is grossly over priced. They are also undergoing a phase of much needed renovation so make sure you get one of the updated rooms. The older ones are terrible. The hotel has an air of old money about it. The updated rooms are comfortable and clean. The mini bar as quoted in the room desription is actually just a mini fridge. There is an on site restraurant which is buffet style and again expensive unless you stuff yourself stupid. Parking is an additional $20 per night.

U can get more from ur money.
The staff was really friendly. We booked a no sea view room to save money, but omg the view we had was a horrible destroyed building. the rooms need urgent renovation, the bathroom were not clean and the shower had no water pressure. the room, closet and drawers, had an odd smell .. like old and humidity.. eww... We rented a car so we can move around, but the parking fee is 18 usd per day... we payed them almost everyday.. hint? from 6:00 pm to 8:00 am u can park for free in the street. The hotel is not a cheap one, and for that price u should booked a room in southbeach near the restaurants and other amenities.

The worst Hotel for the price imaginable
The only good thing about this hotel is was the staff. The carpets were dingy. The room was small, out-dated, and depressing. There was an of depravity and dilapidation all around. The entire seventh floor reeked of water damage. I have stayed at in hotel rooms three times nicer than this one, for a third of the cost. I would only advise my worst enemies to stay here. The joke was on me, seriously..

Short walk from hotel
If you do stay at the Riu against my better warnings there is a cheap and tasty Cuban restaurant called "The Tropical Cafe" a few block away on Collins avenue and 26th.. It is not fancy. It is not glamorous. The food is just good and plentiful.
