Riu Plaza Miami Beach

The view was fabulous

My wife and I have stayed in Riu after the cruise we've had before returning back to the rainy winter Vancouver. It was a pleasure staying in the hotel to extend vacation experience for another day. Totally worth it! We have had a feeling similar to staying in all inclusive resort. Great breakfast, sunbeds, umbrellas, towels provided both at pool and on the beach, resort-style hotel design. Super smooth check-in and check out experience. We arrived earlier than check in time as we disembarked our cruise in Port Everglades in the morning and could get our room earlier as they have had some available. Also, loved the fact that the hotel is located in the middle of the island, not the South Miami Beach. It was quiet and pleasant. Still within walk/Uber distance from the nightlife

It was like the 5th time we stayed here. We loved the breakfast. The hotel is of better quality than last times. Staff were nice and the beach is right there

- Excellent location (on the beach and also walking distance from South Beach ~ 30 min; close to several restaurants, shops etc. - e.g. Starbucks, 24/7 Subway, markets, even gift shops); - Great beach service (free sunbeds, umbrellas and towels for the hotel’s guests, clean beach). The hotel also has a pool with plenty of sunbeds, in the middle of lots of palm trees :); - Wonderful and varied buffet-style breakfast (you can also have dinner at the hotel); - Spacious and well-equipped rooms (safe, mini-bar, hairdryer, iron, even ironing board); - Good house keeping. Also, the mini-bar was constantly refilled with new bottles of water when cleaning was done; - Helpful staff, considerate of the guests’ needs; - Diverse hotel amenities (bar, pool bar, small convenience store and a tours&activities reservation desk inside the hotel).

Great location, good facilities and great view from our room (808).
