Aventura Oakwood

"The Mondrian had all the appearances of a great place to stay for a weekend in the sun, but the devil is in the details. Checking in on a Fri, my room wasn't serviced until late afternoon on Sun. There was no body wash in the shower, though a space for one, so I used a bar soap. Then when I did get the servicing late Sun, a bottle with a very small amount was left in my bathroom but not mounted nor able to be mounted in my shower. There were smokers around the pool, and the smoking rules were not enforced. Yet any attempt to bring simply a water bottle to the pool was thwarted. The prices for the cabanas were very high, and thus many were unused. I would love to have used one but wasn't going to spend 400-500/day. The food at the restaurant was pretty decent but overpriced. Staff was generally pleasand and helpful, though name tags were not worn consistently, hence I can't really give them any shoutouts. One bright spot was the fact they provided free sunscreen at the bar, a lovely scented one at that."

"Wasn’t my favorite place. Conveniently located near the airport. It is loud, they leave ear plugs for you on the bed. Found pubic hair on the side of the bed, and the bathroom floor is some kind of foam flooring that in front of the toilet is raised and smells like urine. Didn’t notice the smell the first day, but the next morning when the air freshener wore off, you could definitely smell it. "

"Pool was good. Pool staff was excellent. Amenities in the room were lacking. The elevators were pathetic. Would take 15 mins to get to and fro from 36th floor "
