Fontainebleau Miami Beach - Miami Beach

The hotel and room were great and very comfortable. I want that bed, comforter and pillows for my house. I only thing guests should be aware of is the prices for food, drinks and just about anything else is three times what you would pay otherwise. Probably best to eat and drink outside the resort.

the hotel itself is a wonderful place and a work of art...the bed was so comfortable..most comfortable pillows i ever had...the only negatives were 2 partly bad meals at one of the restaurants on separate days..a hamburger i had asked for medium well done was only partly that way..i have never seen the same burger cooked differently in 2 parts...the next day i had the chinese chicken salad and that was the worst i ever had..soggy, far too much dressing that was mostly soy sauce..even the mandarin oranges were sour..however the french onion soup was amazing...the staff all over the hotel were very nice..i would go back again when the price was right...has so much history there it was fun staying here..

The rooms were beautiful, the staff very helpful and frendly.

Arrived at 8:00am expecting the usual routine about room will be ready at 3:00pm. Instead receptionist stated that the room was ready and that we were upgraded. Room was fabulous with direct on ocean view.

Since the massive and expensive renovation, this place is a fantastic destination. The hotel is beautiful, the rooms were spacious, well appointed and clean and the pool was second to none. On the other hand, the service and friendliness of the staff needs some improvement. It might be that because there is an 18% gratuity automatically added to every bill, the staff lacks incentive to go out of their way for the guests. On more than one occasion, I found staff members to be unresponsive and disinterested in helping with a routine question, assisting with luggage or hailing a cab. Some other staff members were very friendly and accomodating but that was only in the nicer restaurants on the property. By comparison, I have stayed at other places where the staff goes out of their way to greet each guest and ask if they can help with any aspect of the stay. The Fountainebleue should work on improving that aspect of their service and, in doing so, would make itself an all around marvelous place in every regard.

The remodeling was very nice but now to get a chair by the pools you practically need to rent a cabana which by the way is $450.00 the cheapest. The VIDA restaurant was a disaster. They need better management and it is overpriced.

If you like a hotel that has everthig then this is it. However everything has a price. Sunbeds by the pools are limited unless you want to pay $550 for a Cabana or as low as $150 for a double lounger.

The Fontainebleau has a great atmosphere. Had a suite which was perfect. The lobby bar, restaurants and pool service were all excellent. Although not right on South Beach, it is only a 10 minute taxi ride. Many pools allowed kids not to spoil the experience, since most kids were at a separate pool. I would stay here again and recommend it.

The hotel is top notch. The rooms, restaurants, and amenities are excllent but you pay for it. Everything is a la cart. The service is average. I expected better service for the price.

Everything about this hotel is very nice. keep in mind though though that everything at this hotel is very expensive. The only things I didnt like was the mandatory valet parking for $34 a day and the long walk from the North building to the beach.

The Hotel is very nice, but you do need to be prepared to spend a pretty penny to stay here. Everything in this hotel, from the pool to the restaurants, is extremely expensive. It is a very nice hotel, with very nice customer service.

Fabulous hotel! We felt like celebrities staying here. The only downside was the costs for drinks and food, however we also stayed at the Eden Roc and the prices were comparable. The rooms were pretty funky and very comfortable. There was a MAC computer with a display that welcomed us to the room and provided all kinds of info on the hotel. Very useful! The service was excellent and people really went the extra mile to make you feel welcomed. The restaurants in the Fountainebleu were exceptional. Make sure you go to the Hakkasan. It was worth every penny for this incredible culinary experience. Order the Dim Sum appetizer! Scrumptious!We went to La Cote for lunch and again they "wow"ed us with their food. If you want to be on the beach I would suggest bringing a cooler. There is no bar service on the beach. It would also make sense to buy duty free coming in so that you can save a bit by having your own drinks when you want it. All in all, I miss the Bleu and will be back for sure!

We stayed here for our anniversary, and were very satisfied with the hotel and all it had to offer (several restaurants, pools and a night club). However, drinks and meals were overly spendy. We walked down to South Beach several days and ate at the restaurants there instead. We enjoyed our stay and the hotel was beautiful -- we don't mind paying more for food and drinks on vacation but certain things were just unnecessarily expensive.

hotel service at the desk was rude and service was slow for the prices they charge.

The room was expensive. I would recommend paying up for the ocean view room. Since we saw the non ocean view and ocean view rooms that the view made a huge difference. Worth the marginal extra cost.

Parking is $32.00 a night, beach chairs are 12.00 a day and umbrelas are $15.00. No charge for chairs at pool side. All pool and beach accomdation are closed at dusk. There is an internet charge also. Then they accidentally charged my credit card for $64.00, which they later removed when I question it.

FOOD IS VERY VERY EXPENSIVES .THEY NEED TO BRING IT DOWN A NOTCH ....

This lavish hotel is very clean, and beautiful, but everything is a-la-cart. They charge for beach chairs, beach umbrelas, and they close the pool and beach at dusk. That put a dumper on Friday, cause check in time is 4:00pm. Other wise the hotel is beautiful and clean.

There is no special line, or special priviledge to get into LIV, the "Chi-Chi" nightclub. The Fountainbleau concierges can't get you in. So if you think that you are staying at the hotel and you'll be first in line or at the right place, Forget about it. The only people who can get in are people who have reserved tables. If you are a female, don't even try to go on Friday night, It's totally 100 percent women who are going to bachelorette parties. For those coming from local destinations to get away for the weekend, stay at a different hotel and visit the Bleau bar.

It's an expensive hotel but Oh My God is it nice. 180 degrees of the Atlantic ocean from the balcony. Whirlpool tub in the bathroom. Machintosh computer on the desk where you can set your wakeup call, order room service and a number of other paperless hotel transactions. The bed felt like sleeping on a cloud. The flat screen TV, the bath robes... everything you'd expect in a five-star hotel. My wife and I couldn't be happier.

The hotel recently underwent a renovation. We expected much more. The room was small, the toilet was dirty. The access to the pool/beach area was limited to one out of the way area. The distance from our room to the beach was excessive. When you do get to the beach there are charges for the beach chairs, etc. Come on, for the rates that are charged per night, why do you have to nickel and dime us for this? The wait for a car parked in valet was up to one half hour. We have been to many other places that actually cater to their clients, rather than have the staff stand with their hands out for tips at your every turn.

We had a nice stay over Easter break with mixed levels of service from the hotel. For example, our 1 bedroom suite was not ready by check-in time of 4pm and by 5pm they finally got us a similar room on the same floor in the Tower with a "better view". The room was not cleaned well when we arrived, there was someone else's prescription medicine in the bathroom and they didn't always vacuum very well. The valet car service often took 15-20 minutes and room service got our 2/5 items on our order wrong. The good news is that the restaurant and pool staff are extremely well prepared and customer-oriented. The hotel is beautiful though we miss the waterfall out by the pool. Everything is very pricey (as you would expect) at the pool bars and hotel restaurants. Overall we had a nice time (how could you not at such a beautiful spot?) but it is definitely not as consistent or smooth service as what you would expect at similarly priced/rated hotel like a Ritz or a Four Seasons.

great location, great hotel, but you need to get there early to get a good seat near the pool. They run out of chairs quickly, unless you are willing to pay a lot extra for cabanas or special seats.

Pool area is clearly the star of the hotel grounds. View of Ocean from room was a nice touch. Staff were rude. LA folks all know these aspiring model/actor types.

blue bar, liv club, pool scene over spring break was very nice.

For the amount of money I spent per night, the service was terrible. Front desk was clueless, I didn't get assistance with my bags when I checked in. Bartenders and server were extremely rude. The Fontainebleau Hotel is over-rated. Never again.

What a great hotel with great staff and fun atmosphere. Of course everything was incredibly expensvie but if you are in that area you need to expect that. I would stay here again and again.

The biggest value at this resort is simply the grand and glamorous experience. The recent renovation has unveiled an exquisite vacation destination. A welcome cocktail at the famous and ultra-chic Blue Bar is highly recommended.

For a new hotel this one left a lot to be desired. The trash can in the room was emptied once in 4 days. We had to ask for turndown service, wait an additional 2 hrs. to get into the room. Felt like a cheesy Vegas hotel. Needs some time to work out the kinks.

I loved everything about the hotel. The room was clean and very comfortable. The staff were so nice and helpful. They could not do enough to be sure that you enjoyed your stay. I highly recommend this hotel.

great location and beautiful women

Gorgeous property but needs significant improvement on the service side. The hotel opened back in November but they still haven't worked out most the kinks. The staff for the most part is friendly but they fail miserably when it comes to execution. Room service orders incomplete, pool service slow, valet service delivered car to wrong drive, the list literally goes on and on. And everything is ridiculously expensive - two iced coffees were $15. I think this a case of the "wrong hotel at the wrong time".

The service was horrible all around and I wasnt the only guest who experienced this. #1: if you want to get the room you paid for...forget it! #2: If you want a drink from the bar..it takes 30 mins to get one! #3: My room was cleaned one time out of the 3 nights we stayed. (even though they told me what time it was going to be cleaned each night!) Overall, for the amount of money that you spend..the hotel is definitely NOT worth it...check out the Delano or somewhere else!

I know they just reopened, but hire more staff. I've never waited so long for service. The restaurants' waiters, the check-in, the check-out, bell hop, valet were all terribly slow.

The hotel was huge and beautiful and had a lot of various services. The hotel staff was not very friendly, but they were not rude or mean either (maybe they were just very busy). The room was huge, clean, well-equipped with electronic devices, and we just loved it. Also, the pools were phenomenal!!!! and there was a beach entrance very close to the pools as well. would definitely recommend, although it is located on 44th street so it was away from the heart of southbeach which could be good or bad depending upon what you're looking for.

The Fontainebleau Resort in Miami Beach is incredible! We had a one bedroom oceanview suite in the Tresor tower. Had all amenities-full kitchen and full laundry in the kitchen and two bathrooms marble bathrooms. Bedding, sheets, towels are all top notch. Also two balconies. Staff is very helpful and friendly.The best part was Hotels.com. Due to a car malfunction, we were unable to make the first night of our eight night stay. I called Hotels.com to tell them we were on the way, and they moved our eight night stay ahead, and we did not lose the first night. That is the nicest part of the vacation. What a great company to do that! Go to the Fontainebleau-it's an experience you'll be glad you did not miss!

Our stay at eh Fountainbleau was amazing. From the moment we arrived we were treated like royalty. The valet guys, door men and concierge were at pinnacle of excelence. I would highly reccomend the Fountainbleau to anyone who is planing a visit to miami beach. If you are a beach bumb or just love to get some sun and water then you are in for a surprise. the service out on the Fountainbleaus private beach is wonderful. You get your own chairs, whether you like it with an umbrella or canopy is at your leasure. I cant wait for the new buildings to be done and the seven new swiming pools as well. will definately visit again.

My ratings are as indicated based upon the facilities who were reopened and in operation, and it was a tru pleasure to spend som days at the Fontainebleau.
