“Great stay”

We were only here for one night on our way back from Costa Rica and REALLY wanted some authentic Cuban food. The staff was great and gave us directions to the greatest Cuban place and then directions from there to South Beach. They even highlighted the route on a map for us. Sounds like a little thing to do, but it seems hard to get anyone to do anything for hotel guests anymore.
The room was very nice and the bed was so soft (especially compared to the ones we had been sleeping in during our Costa Rica trip).
I would definitely stay here again!

Incredible staff, amazing service from beginning to end. Had a suite with a Lagoon View, very clean, and an extremely comfortable bed. No airplane noise. Great late-night food at the bar, good and reasonably priced.

“Perfect if you want to be close to the airport”

Very comfortable hotel with a nice bar area, free internet access, lovely pool and friendly staff. Only issue is that it is quiet a distance from south beach and the main tourist areas (30 dollars in a taxi). But overall this is a good airport hotel and would defo reccomend it

“Pleasant staff and very nice”

Sofitel Miami

5 of 5 stars

1/1 found this review helpful

My husband and I are very pleased with this lovely hotel. We were greeted warmly, even though we booked through a discount travel agency. Our room is large, king size bed and non smoking. The hotel has all the amenities we could want. (does not have a fridge, but we didn't need one, nor want one). I suppose a person could find minor flaws in the rooms, but really, they are minor!! Our room is immaculately clean. The bed is comfortable and cozy.
The onsite restaurant is expensive and there isn't much within walking distance (so far I haven't found anything, but I'm still looking). We'll probably have dinner here. There is a lovely lagoon behind the hotel which can be seen from some of the rooms, I'm sure, but we have a "front of the hotel" view.
The pool is really pretty and convenient. Exercise room is around the corner from the pool. Starbucks (mini) on site. They don't have the skinny latte's, which I generally get, but you can still order non fat latte's. (same thing without the SF syrups)
We are staying one night at the end of a cruise with NCL. and paid $12 each for a shuttle from the port to the hotel door. Parking is an additional fee, I believe $8 if you have an auto. For the price we paid, ($119, $138 after taxes and resort fees) we think we got a great deal.

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — Proximity to the airport and the really warm welcome.
    • Disliked — No restaurants within walking distance. The shuttle takes you to the airport only.

“Pretty nice hotel.”

I liked the hotel. They added a lot of nice touches, such as the paintings on the walls and sculptures in the lobby. The pool was nice and clean, as well. You could tell in some places that the hotel had been renovated, but they did a good job. The only problem I found was with the cleanliness. The first room we stayed in was leaking water in the ceiling. It was raining in Miami. The toilet in that room was also not clean. The good thing is, before we could call the front desk to complain, the bellman had already told the front desk what happened and they called me and offered us an upgrade. That was good. In the new room, one of the beds had crumbs in it. When I called housekeeping to ask them to change the bed, they never showed up. We were late for dinner, so we left and came back later that night. When we got back, I called housekeeping again and the night shift was great! They came right away and changed the bed and even redid the bathroom and touched up the entire room. They were also very nice about it. I'm a travel agent and I got a good deal on the room at $199 a night. All in all, it was nice for a night and the staff were very nice and hardworking, except the day housekeeping staff.

    • Liked — I liked the way it was decorated and it was not that spanish styled stucco, which I hate.
    • Disliked — The cleanliness and location.
