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.

Hotel Melting Pot
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.

Great value, Great location
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.

Better than expected
The Riu was a pleasant surprise due to the fact that the write ups we had read were not falttering. We found the facility to be very nice with a large pool and only steps from the beach. The Staff was very friendly and the one restaurant offered buffet or ala carte. We really enjoyed our stay. They were remodeling several floors but work was almost unnoticeable.

Long walk from hotel
$6.00 cab ride (17 blocks) to Lincoln Road. There are a large number of very good restaurants, better than South Beach (Ocean Blvd)especially if youare eating at night.Lots of shops to browse also.

great stay,comfort for R & R,clean
do not need a rental car because you pay for parking at hotel & all restaurants have valet parking, also all shopping locations are together so take a bus for 2 dollars and save yourself some money from renting a car. we loved our stay at hotel it had drinks, food, pool, beach, great people that cater to you, very clean.
