Dear Arkady,We thank you for choosing to stay at Acqualina Resort and Residences on the Beach! Thank you for your 5-star review and we look forward to welcoming you back for future stays!Warm Regards,Adlija Diaz

3 out of 5
We recently stayed at Acqualina for 6 nights. We enjoyed our large room and bathroom and cleanliness of the entire hotel. The pools were nice and had plenty of shaded and sunny seating. The food was great at Costa Grill, Ke Uh and buffet breakfast. The atmosphere was sleepy. We were often the only family in the pool. Beach and pool service start late and end early. Staff would be scrambling to set up chairs when we got to the beach at 9 and they’d be packing up around us while we were playing on the beach at 4. We’re not factoring this into our rating as it’s personal preference but if you’d like to be able to have a drink in your beach chair at 6 pm, this is not the place for you. Our biggest issue was with service. Everyone was friendly but the delivery was totally lacking. Employees would offer to set up beach chairs but never return. Multiple times, we asked for water at the beach but never got it. We rented a cabana for the day and only saw our server once. We asked for a menu and waited an hour to get it during the cabana rental. We went up to our room while our daughter napped and found the cabana packed up when we returned even though there was an hour left on our rental. We called the concierge to see if we could get a carseat and were promised a call back, but never got one. The list goes on and on. At times we felt like an Applebees is more attentive than this 5-star hotel. Each staff person was very nice so it seems like there is a management/systems issue.

The hotel was just what I needed at the time. I felt pampered! :)

Pros: Free Internet
I have always wanted to give myself a treat in a lovely Beach Resort. Acqualina was just more than the treat I needed. I loved every single second of my stay there! The staff made me feel like a queen. And the environment/facilities....just too fab! I will go there over and over and over again!

Beautiful scenery inside and out...

Pros: Free Internet, Quiet, turndown service twice a day, very clean spacious suites
Cons: no free continental breakfast at all.
Wonderful room, staff, and beach access. Everything was first class all the way, every staff member went out oof their way to be cordial except for one valet out front. When I voiced a concern about him the hotel rectified the situation immediately. This was the best hotel I have ever stayed in. I loved every minute and I cant wait to go back!

Amazing hotel stay but a little far from miami attractions

Pros: Free Internet, Quiet
Cons: Nothing close
Recently stayed at this hotel and it was very nice. Very spacious rooms, and beautiful decor. They even had a chest with a hidden flat screen that pops up and spins with the touch of a button. Pool an beach front were also beautifully kept. The only down side was the distance from the Miami nightlife. We had to drive a bit of distance for all our activities.

This hotel was opulent, yet comforting.

Pros: Close restaurants, Quiet
The hotel itself was gorgeous. The staff was amazing and attentive. The food was magnificent. We felt like movie stars! The beaches were clean and inviting, and the spa was just wonderful. It was a great, pampering, and relaxing trip.

Top 3 Trips Ever

Pros: Quiet
My wife and I escaped our two children for a 3-day weekend. WEe love going to the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area and wanted to stay somewhere we never had before. I researched online and found a great weekend deal at the Acqualina Resort. We arrived to the most beautifully designed unique hotel. The staff was overly welcoming and helpful and made the weekend wonderful. From the luxurious rooms, to the well-designed pool area, to the spa and the restaurants, my wife and I had a trip we will never forget. It was perfect and we hope to return soon.

MIAMI SPLENDOR!!

My cousin and I vacationed at the Acqualina in 2009 for a girls spa getaway for a few days and words cannot capture the level of extravagance supreme hospitality and pure bliss that we experienced during our stay. From the moment you enter the hotel lobby your wish is the staffs every command. The website accurately depicts the hotel property in every way. Our room was something out of HGTV..chique modern elegant and plush. Housekeeping visits several times a day to replenish the room. The service is impeccable. Every dime spent at this resort was well worth it. The spa facilities are beautiful and serene and we indulged in two spa treatments a piece. Spa staff great you with a relaxing fruity drink and cool towel with cucumber to begin your spa encounter. And the perks!!! Dont be surprised if you order room service and it NOT show up on your bill or if you visit one of the restaurants and that not show up on your bill. You truly feel welcomed as the staff make a point to learn your name and greet you by name when you are in eyesight. The list goes on and on. I LOVE THIS PLACE and YOU WILL TOO!!
