do not drink the water
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.

Great 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.

South Beach RIU..Great Location, NicePPL
The hotel was very nice in the lobby, outdoor, and around the pool/bar area. The hotel rooms were average plain rooms like staying at the Days Inn Motel or Motel 6. The rooms could use some updating. The standard rooms do not have balconies. No flat screen TV and the shower was not powerful. Im not that picky and the room didnt matter to me because my friends and I were on the beach all day and at night we went to south beach. We used to the room for showers and a couple of hours of sleep. It is in a great location. You can walk or catch a $10 cab ride to the nice part of south beach like lincoln or 10th st.

Short walk from hotel
Go to D'Vine. It is a nice hookah spot with different types of music including arabic. They have outdoor seating, GREAT food. Prices are $12-$20 for dinner. Not expensive. Drinks are $10-$12. It was a very relaxed and laid back place. Not a club type of atmosphere because I do not club. It is located on Lincoln off of washington ave. Go there because its like a mall that has at least 50 restaurants and shops in that perimeter. You will enjoy it. Lincoln is between 16th and 17th st by the way.
