Set within seemingly never-ending grounds, the JW Marriott Miami Turnberry is the place to be for some fun in the sun. You’ll be spoilt for choice with two 18-hole golf courses, a lazy river, poolside cabanas, and plenty of slides. Fancy a day or two of relaxing? There’s the spa where you can treat yourself to a massage, or simply stroll through the tranquil gardens. The Aventura Mall is just across the road, so you can enjoy some retail therapy in a hop, skip and a jump. And when the evening rolls in, head to one of the many restaurants, sit back and sip on a cocktail and gaze out at the beautiful Floridian sunset.

Great Hotel, But the Waterpark Missed the Mark

We stayed at the JW Marriott Turnberry for a quick two-night stay before our cruise out of Miami. Our visit happened to fall during what some refer to as the “Jewish Takeover” week. While that didn’t bother us, it did lead to some noticeable changes at the property—electronic doors were propped open, elevator operators were present, and other accommodations were made for the group. It was a bit quirky, but not a major issue for us.
The main reason we chose this resort was for the waterpark, hoping our kids would have a blast. While they enjoyed it, the water was incredibly cold—too cold for me to join in, which was disappointing. I typically love a lazy river, but I couldn’t enjoy it at all.
We visited the waterpark on our first day, and unfortunately, we had a frustrating encounter with a security guard who insisted we had to pay for access. I showed him documentation stating that wristbands were included with our stay, but he continued to argue. Thankfully, another staff member eventually stepped in and confirmed it was included in the resort fee. Still, the situation could’ve been handled more professionally.
The food at the waterpark’s Freestyle restaurant was extremely poor—honestly not edible. I wouldn’t recommend it.
On the bright side, we had two great dinners at Corsair, the sit-down restaurant off the lobby. We sat outside both nights and enjoyed lovely meals in a beautiful setting. We also had breakfast there one morning. Oddly, while a sign outside advertised a high-end breakfast buffet, there was no buffet available during our visit.
Overall:
We had a decent experience and appreciated many aspects of the resort, but the waterpark—the main reason for our visit—was a letdown. I would have rated our stay higher if the water had been heated and the food at Freestyle was better.
Suggestions for the Resort:
Offer early access to the waterpark for resort guests
Improve the food quality at Freestyle
Consider heating the water at the waterpark for year-round enjoyment

It is very very annoying that the only pool the kids can go in is unheated. The adult pool is a lovely temperature but having a cold pool for the kids is highly unsatisfactory (and very un-American in my experience!).
On the whole if having to consider other 5* (priced!) hotels which have heated pools for all guests or this one, this one will lose.
Location to Aventura mall is nice.

Unbeknownst to us, there was a religious retreat that had taken over the entire resort. They had subcontracted to a company to take over the resort for the families on the religious retreat and we felt like we were not supposed to be there intruding on their experience. We looked at their website and they advertised "Taking over the entire resort!"
For example, all of the prime seats at the adult pool were held all day for people while they were in prayer groups and meetings. So, the pool was empty most of the day but the lounge chairs could not be used. When they came out of sessions they had head covers and formal clothes poolside while we were in bathing suits.
The mini fridges were taped up with a sign that said we could call for a free mini-fridge to be brought in. There was actual scotch tape on the refrigerators in our 2 rooms. When I called, I was told that all of the fridges were in use because the hotel was full. It was clear that other guests were the priority every step of the way. We had 2 suites and one of them (not by request) was handicapped so there was a dirty shower curtain instead of a shower door. There was underwear from prior guests behind the couch and one room had bottles of water and the other did not.
There were bouncy houses and food and ice cream trucks that looked like fun- but only families on the retreat could access. There was always someone who did not understand English riding the elevators and preventing you from pushing the buttons on your own (subcontractors from this retreat company). The elevators were small and it became cramped when the workers decided to put a chair in the elevators so they wouldn't have to stand while riding the elevator all day. With only 2 elevators, the reduced capacity and constant confusion about the buttons made them take longer.
There were families with young children playing/ yelling loudly in the hallways of the hotel when we wanted to have peace and quiet in our room. It was an expensive mistake to stay at hotel where you feel like and outsider crashing a religious retreat when you just want a relaxing spring break with your family.
No part of the trip felt upscale or relaxing. We were told if we were not satisfied then we should leave. So, we cut our stay there short and took an uber to a different hotel.

I am currently staying here and it’s chaos. There is a large event happening and the resort is not equipped to handle it. The water park is slammed, they removed the surf house menu and replaced it with the tidal cove menu, people are smoking and vaping and the bathrooms are a mess. People are yelling at other peoples kids when their own kids are misbehaving. A woman is screaming at the lifeguards because her kid isn’t tall enough to ride and is losing her mind. Everyone had to wait 20 minutes for her tantrum and the resort gave in while her three daughters watched. It’s shameful and she should be removed by security - people have become so entitled. At night the kids from the event run the hallways and the parents do nothing. I’ve stayed here before will NOT be back. I paid a lot to be here and it’s a nightmare vacation. Two stars for the surf simulator and life guards there. Zero to one for everything else.
