Family-friendly hotel near South Beach with pools and breakfast buffet
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. South Beach's major attractions, from the Art Deco District to Lincoln Road Mall, are less than two miles away.

OK
This place was OK. It did not impress compaired to the other hotels in Miami beach, but it did do the job. I was just looking for an affordable place on the beach and it provided just that. Staff was helpful.

Less then expected
Description and renome of Riu hotels didn't find confirmation in reality. The hotel is pretty old and rough. Pool smaller then expected. Positive thing was free WiFi with not great speed.

Long walk from hotel
The best resturants are on Lincoln Street about 1 1/2 mile toward south beach. It is a nice walk along the board walk. Do not eat on Ocean Blvd. Most everwhere is a rip off. High prices and lousy food!! The people watching is better on Lincoln. It is a nice pedestrian street.

Riu Flordia Beach
This is a great economical option that has a great pool and is right on the beach! It is a little further away from everything, but a short bus ride for $2 will get you to Licoln Rd. The ocean view room is worth the extra money as the rooms and bathrooms are bigger. The rooms are outdated, but clean and serve their purpose.

Not Too Bad
All in all, not a bad experience. The mattress was well used. I would have preferred something more firm. The shampoo is combined with body soap hanging on the wall in the shower. I had to ask twice for wash cloths. They did not offer to help with our luggage when we arrived. I'm 60 years old and have a bad back. The facility was clean and maintained. The buffet breakfast was expensive but good. Pool side service is non existent.

Riu florida bch
We chose the Riu because it was next door to the The Royal Palms Hotel where we were going to attend a family wedding. We were not happy with the fact that there were NO queen sized beds available in the entire hotel. So we settled for 2 double beds, one of which remained empty during our entire 3 day stay. Overall we had a nice time, but really only enjoyed the hotel a very limited time because we spent most our time with family. The pool was great and so was the beach, except for the seaweed. I would recommend it, but the bed situation was almost a dealbreaker for us.

In Hotel
having your car valet parked and dropped off is convenient but be sure to come down at least 10 mins before you need to leave because it takes time for the parking attendant to retrieve your car.

Nice hotel
Hotel was nice; however, the administration should make sure in advance that the room being provided to guests are "truly" vacant. The day i arrived, I was allotted room 928, which was already allotted to someone else. It was a bit disturbing to see someone else walk into the room claiming this room to be hers. Overall, I had a nice stay at the Riu Florida Beach Hotel.
