Expert reviews
“Vegas meets art deco at this colossal classic, deemed Miami’s biggest hotel after its $1 billion reinvention, which spawned more than 1,500 rooms, 12 renowned restaurants and lounges, LIV nightclub, several sumptuous pools with cabana islands, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and a 40,000-square-foot spa.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Miami.
“Fontainebleau is a standout on Miami’s Collins Avenue, thanks to its luxe design, excellent amenities and sheer size. With more than 1,500 rooms and suites designed in a crisp, contemporary style, it’s a large and bustling hotel, making it popular with conventioneers and bachelorette parties alike.”
“A billion-dollar renovation completed in 2008 added more than a dozen restaurants, bars and lounges to the massive Fontainebleau resort, where celebrities and year-round Spring Breakers sip drinks poolside before hitting the two in-house nightclubs, Arkadia and LIV.”
“Ring-a-ding-ding is back in the swing at a longtime classic designed by Morris Lapidus in the 1950s a couple of dozen blocks above South Beach—with today’s glam supplied not by Elvis, Marlene Dietrich, and the Rat Pack but the likes of Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Pitbull.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Miami.
“The epitome of mid-century Miami glamour, this place is as famous for its storied past as it is for being one of the hottest Miami hotels today. The 1950s resort was reopened in 2008 after a $1 billion restoration. The result? Four stellar restaurants, a glitzy nightclub and one of the most luxurious spas in town.”

Beach and umbrella too expensive for me and others.
A lot of options to eat, food was high end but delicious; many different pools
Had to pay extra for umbrella on beach, canopy blocks view of beach if you didn't rent one. You cannot sit on lounge in front of beach only for rent.

It was really nice!
I really enjoyed the breakfast! You had so many choices!

It was ok…but not great
The property is nice but the elevators are dreadful. For such a hotel, I’m surprised they allow guests to wait for 30 minutes or more for the elevators to arrive
The elevators are the worst. Guest dreaded to go downstairs or ride the elevators as it takes over half an hour to arrive.

Fantastic Hotel
Hotel was fantastic, nothing negative to say!
Be careful on the beach, we had a bag stolen whilst swimming in the sea.

Awesome except for car retrieval and check in time.
Great location and well kept facility.
Parking. Promise 10-15 to have car ready after calling valet, every single time took more than 45 minutes and that's after ML several queries. Check in. Some of the slowest in the industry regardless of the time of day

Was expecting a better room that I paid for. There were no pull out bed or robes as in the description of the room
Clean, spacious with all needed activities in one location
Stayed in the Versailles building and didn’t like having to walk around functions at the ballroom

It beats Eden Roc which is really run down but I do not know if I would stay there again.
Convenient for work.

Fontainebleau is always the best.
No Bath robe and slippers in the suite unlike Fontainebleau. I asked for it but they said they stopped giving it. Weird!

The property is big and extremely nice. There’s a variety of stores, restaurants etc.
It is a beautiful property; however it’s not a premium experience. The beach and bar are very nice. The club/pool are sketchy- could be when we arrived. The beach is beautiful. The restaurants are less than desire food that’s overpriced except the grill which I think is a nice casual option. We didn’t go to Hakkasan there however other locations of that chain were amazing. The steakhouse food is subpar at best to put it very kindly.

disappointing every time
Location, private day club at Arkadia, bar outside.
we loved to stay here with friends but customer service changed and I think it’ll be our last time staying here. Hotel became very far from 5 star rating. Poor service, absolutely not caring staff and lack of communication. even on birthday, nothing special from hotel (it is not about $10 prosecco bottles that you guys buy for sale at the pool but attention is the most important when it comes to customer satisfaction). Plus I still can’t believe that the whole hotel (including front desk and concierge) couldn’t provide with one vase OR bucket to put the flower bouquets that I got from my friends for my birthday, they simply said “sorry we don’t have anything”. Seriously? 5 star hotel?
6 January 2025
Never again
Housekeeping was timely and well
30 min average wait time for elevator and to get seated for breakfast Lack of staff at arrival, no luggage service
4 January 2025
Fab location and vibe will definitely come again.
The resort feel, the location and the history
The staff were not always friendly and waiting to check in and check out was tedious and unnecessary if more staff were available at obvious peak times
3 January 2025
Pricey place but an experience
Amazing property. Massive resort and very very busy with people. We are in the buffet for breakfast which had a huge variety of food and nice atmosphere. Rooms were nice and comfortable. Pool area nice. London was helpful. Free water to drink round pool. Very clean everywhere
No personal space round pool, sunbeds very squashed in. I would have liked to have had more information about the restaurants, a map of facilities. Everything is very very expensive in this hotel.

Good
The overall atmosphere of the hotel was great for family holidays, lots of pools, but it wasn't open in the evening because I was preparing for the New Year stage, which I felt a bit disappointed because I was just getting ready to go swimming in the evening.
There are too many chairs on the beach, it feels very chaotic, and the garbage is not cleaned up in time, and the vision is not so good.
22 December 2024
Very good
Spa,Pools, morning outdoors guided activity, restaurant options, staff availability, car valle.
rented areas and sofas on the pools where mostly empty and the staff didnt let others to use.

Nice thanksgiving beach getaway
The whole hotel is great, the pools the best
I still don’t like that they don’t serve coffee almost anywhere, just on a small place and very crowded and overpriced.

Save your money, not worth the hype
Location
Stayed for 3 days 2 nights. Couldn't even get our room cleaned or our garbage picked up or towels. Waited over an hour for our food by the pool and over an hour in the restaurant. Plus, the chairs by the pool are right next to each, making it harder for a handicapped person to get on and off. For what they charge here, plus all the service charges they tack on, you should have fabulous service, clean rooms, and great food. This hotel lacked it all.

Iconic Hotel in fabulous location; just be prepared to ante up!
Beautiful facility, great location, fabulous atmosphere. Tons of pool and beach chairs. The property is right on the ocean. Very helpful and supportive staff, especially poolside.
Sticker shock as far as prices go. 25 dollars for an omelette. 42 dollars for breakfast buffet, 24 dollars for a margarita. It really does tax the wallet if you want to stay here and relax.
14 October 2024
It was a dream comming true!
The breakfast was amazing, with a sort of special food that was very tasty. I love it! The attendance is very polite and the place is fantastic.
To sit in front of the swimming pool you must pay U$ 250,00. When you are with children, this is not fair considering the high taxes we pay to stay at the hotel

Parking services is horrible you have to wait almost an hour for your care and they tell you 15mins on a regular day if it’s events happening you might as well catch a Uber
20 September 2024
Enjoyable stay
Location and the pool were excellent. The room was good.
The valet took way too long to get the car to us each time we needed the car. They need to review the Valet operation and make improvements.

Irritating
Everything was great
A/c vent in the middle of the night started blowing n chunks of lint and mold looking pieces onto the bed closest to the a/c vent

Have been begging for a complete folio for 2 months and still have not received. Gift shop - Snack store closes way too early and there isn't a convince store around fro miles.

Hakkasan’s home in Miami is a busy fun place
Pool staff is great Geceelle is full of positive attitude and very attentive Hakkasan restaurant is awesome!!!
Pool area is overcrowded and somewhat poorly managed for reservations
29 August 2024
Great stay but felt every which way you turned you had to pay.
Iconic hotel and exceptional quality breakfast.
$26 umbrella on the beach and $20 for a tiny crappy wine in the pool area and extortionate valet parking fee.
27 August 2024
I would stay at the Fountaine Bleu again. The amenities were great and convenient.
The room and the pool were very clean.
I couldn't locate food after 10 pm.
27 August 2024
Very good not a lot of healthy restaurants inside the hotel.
Josh at the Cabana was great. He and his sister were so accommodating very nice and friendly and professional. Made our stay very pleasant. We need a lot more friendly and caring people on this earth. Mark at the front desk was very helpful and professional and nice. Everyone pretty much was friendly and caring.
The aesthetics of the hotel could use a little more sprucing up.
23 August 2024
Above average and if you want to party then great place
Location, amenities and a fun atmosphere...
It's overpriced vs other hotels in my view and I expected more like if I'm honest... It's not for kids and a very adult theme due to club and day club.... Valet is horrendous so be prepared to wait and wait and wait....(week days maybe shorter)

For what they charge you expect excellence, but be prepared to suffer when you leave the room.
