"Exactly what we were hoping for"
Reviewed May 21, 2013

We were only staying over one night prior to a cruise. Did not want a busy street front location. Wanted to be right on the beach, not across the road. This is an old hotel in a grand way. Large spacious foyer with bar area. We asked for a higher room with beachfront view. It was a very little bit extra. Very nice room, large balcony with head-on ocean view. It was also quiet. The hotel has an outdoor on-site private swimming pool, large lounging area and a bar and barbecue service for lunch. Perfect. A gate opens to a walkway running along the beach-side if you want to walk or run. The beach is absolutely lovely and our stay included the use of their own lounge chairs. A small extra charge. Very relaxing stay and wish we had more than one day and an overnight. Restaurants on-site did not appeal to us but across the road and down a short walk is a great restaurant with green awnings. We ate there at their outside tables. Excellent food. Perfect stop-over before our cruise the next day. I would definitely return.

Beautiful when you first arrive in the lobby. The room was big and clean with a comfortable king size bed. Beautiful view of the ocean on our large balcony. Everything is so conveniently located within walking distance. The staff were very attentive and quick to respond to any needs. Pool was nice and there was a DJ too. It was so enjoyable we are going to stay there again and it has only been a few weeks. Definetly recommend this place. S. Teel

This is my 4th visit to this hotel. We love because of the serine beauty of the ocean! if you are looking for that great relaxing vacation this is it. They have beautiful ocean view rooms, comfortable beds and very clean bathrooms. The hotel is so spacious with a huge pool and lots of lounging chairs and a GYM. The area is very quite without the noise of people walking the streets and loud cars all night. All you hear is the sound of the ocean! The food was wonderful and staff were extremely helpful and courteous.

My name is Sophia E. Martinez and I am the Event Coordinator for the FortuneBuilders Real Estate Insider Summit. We held our event this weekend, May 3-5, at the Deauville Beach Resort in Miami Beach and we were thoroughly impressed with the staff for the entire 3 Days. I am not talking a few select people, I am talking about Yahaira Torres and team; Marta Cotarelo, Glenn Addis, Set Up Team and restaurant management. Yahaira Torres and team operates truly as a team and made it very clear that they were committed to doing whatever it took to make our event a success. Its not often I work with hotels and have a consisted dedicated contact for the entire 3 days. I felt well taken care of and all request were meet with a smile. Any hotel that places this high a priority on service deserves our business again.

Deauville Beach Resort is almost perfect. Before booking I was very nervous because there are plenty of pleasant reviews and many poor reviews. I booked here for one week in April. The weather was amazing. We arrived at the resort at 1245pm and our room was not ready so we got wristbands to hang out by the pool and bar area which makes this resort a plus! By 2pm we were settled into our room. Carolina did a fantastic job checking us in, although we booked a king bed we got two beds. We were on the 16th floor with a newly renovated. Great view & clean. Being here for a week everyone made us feel at home. I did not want to leave. DaLida and Luciana by the bar were awesome!! Customer service was great! The music by the tiki bar and dj saturday night was very fun. Carlos & Karina were great front desk agents that I encountered when I had a request. The Cafe down on the lower level had delicious meals and awesome staff.

Stayed here for a couple days with a large group - I was very satisfied with the amenities and spaciousness of the rooms. It was a wonderful experience for me and my friends. The service was great, the front desk was extremely helpful and patient. Pool and beach were very nice...loved the hot tub!! Only downside is room service took quite a while to bring things to our rooms, or sometimes did not bring our requests at all.

My stay was good, the staff was accomodating. They had great showers, food, the pool was awesome, so was the view. The lobby is nice and big, and so are the rooms. The only things I didn't like so much was the meticulous nature of the staff, they wouldn't let anything slide. In addition, the room's air conditioning was either too strong or too weak..

"Pleasant Stay"
Reviewed February 5, 2013

We were wondering how it was going to be here after reading several negative reviews. We were pleasantly surprised and not disappointed. The accomodations here are comfortable and clean. We had a nice view from our (standard) room and I really liked the walk-in closet. I saw no hours posted anywhere for the fitness center though. The pool area was very nice and in general there are plenty of places to sit. Of course the beach is so convenient and inviting. We both agreed we would definitely stay here again.
One glitch was with the concierge. We had made a reservation with a deposit for a taxi to take us to the airport. It was not there at the requested time. When we came down then they called for it and said it would be 10 mintues. Why make a reservation then? When the transportation did finally arrive, we found out there were other people going with us. If we would have known that was the case, we could have just taken the airport shuttle then.

"Worried about reviews but they were wrong"
Reviewed January 19, 2013

I booked this trip on Hotwire without knowing the name of the hotel. As soon as I saw Deauville Beach Resort, I came to Trip Advisor and was...horrified. With no refunds i was stuck, almost to the point of eating the $700 and finding another place to stay. We decided we would give it a go and had very low expectations. What a pleasant surprise!!! We arrived about noon for a 4pm check-in. No problem parking in the garage 1/2 a block away. They checked our bags and gave us a resort pass so that we could use the pool and beach. We walked past the pool which appeared to be really nice. The Tiki bar was open and hopping. We went straight to the beach where a pleasant young lady got us 2 beach chairs that were included in the resort fee. Another young lady appeared soon after and kept us in drinks all afternoon. We checked in at 4pm with no hassles. The young lady at the desk was pleasant and helpful. We were on the 9th floor. The room was old no doubt. It wad been recently updated, but some of the outlets didnt work. The bathroom was clean. The shower rod had a little rust on it, but that was all i could find wrong with the room. I didn't experience any of the issues that others have said about the staff or bad rooms etc. For the money, you cant beat the location. it aint the ritz, but its not Motel 6 either.

I have recommended to other friends to stay here the room was clean the staff where friendly and the bar off to the side of the lobby had all the drinks that we could ask for.

With the help of the manager Claudio Ruiz, who was personally showing us the available rooms, we upgraded to a better room on a 16th floor(upgrade will cost you $30-$50 a day). That room was very good!! Spacious, renovated, enough closet space, nice balcony with a chairs, all new bathroom, nice king size bed-comfortable! Location is great(try Norman's grill-yummy!)

I guess we were lucky and got an updated room because the room was fine, the bed was comfortable and we even had a postcard view of the beach out our widow. The restaurant was overpriced but we still had a good Cuban sandwich. I recommend going over across the street to one of several restaurants. For breakfast I highly recommend going to the lower level where the beach access is, going out the front door to the street and immediately to your left built into the wall of the hotel is a little Cuban bakery. Very nice to get a pastry and coffee and head on to the beach. The beach is gorgeous and you can walk for miles. You get 2 beach chairs. The pool is in rough shape with lots of paint chips, but I still went for a swim. The Jacuzzi was nice and hot. The ti-ki hut people were very nice.

Great value, excellent location
Stayed November 2012

This is a hotel that could use a makeover, but if you want new, you probably are willing to spend several hundred plus a night more. The hotel next door was charging $750 per night. The hotel is right on the beach. Yes the rooms and entrance areas are dated, but were clean. If you want a beach vacation, this is a great place. You can take the bus to south beach, our walk several miles in either direction along the walkway or the beach itself. I would not rent a car. Instead, take a cab from the airport - rental cars are expensive in Miami. My wife and I stayed here two nights and enjoyed are time here. There are restaurants within walking distance. Room Tip: ask for the beach front room , traveled as a couple

Incredible view. The other rooms don't have balconies although all are well air conditioned. - the hotel offers tours through a third party company that are very good and the best price around.

The oceanfront room on the 14th floor was very nice, beautiful view (though the loud AC on the balcony is a bit annoying and it is too hot to sit out there in the morning sun). The beach and the water were absolutely amazing. The pool also very good, though when it's crowded there isn't anywhere to sit and the service is spotty. Loved the Spanish/dance music they played, with a live DJ on the weekend. They close the pool at sunset and we managed to sneak in for a quick dip but got kicked out about 10 minutes later.
