We came here for my mom’s birthday! We were welcomed with such great hospitality and kindness. Joshua O. works by the pools, and he’s great! He made sure we had everything we needed. He was so kind and hospitable.

Gianni was so helpful with making sure our experience at the beach was comfortable. He went above and beyond with ensuring towels were clean (and plentiful), as well as giving us recommendations for Miami food and club experiences nearby.

I normally choose quality properties that highlight “World’s Best Awards” because I expect excellent cleanliness, service, and relaxation. Unfortunately, our recent stay at Fontainebleau Miami Beach did not come close to meeting those standards. We usually stay next door at Eden Roc but they were fully committed for our dates. While the majority of staff remained hospitable despite the high occupancy, multiple issues made the experience frustrating and far below 5-star level. Room Issues: Upon arrival, the window was smudged from the previous guest, the bedspread had noticeable holes, and the minibar was covered in dust (with a visible finger mark through it). Looking under the bed, we found a pill on the floor that was not ours. The shower had a strong musty odor similar to Nair. The in-room iron did not turn on and the retracting cord didn’t work. The phone next to the bed was dead, so we had to use the bathroom phone to request a replacement. The room safe also showed an error code and wouldn’t open. We eventually received a replacement iron, but only after leaving the room wrinkled after waiting a long time. Pool & Beach: The pool area was extremely packed and lacked enough space for actual hotel guests. We repeatedly saw non-guests with day passes using the facilities, which made it even harder to find room. The beach was similarly disappointing — a large group took over roughly 90% of the beachfront, blocking easy access to the shore (we had to walk several daybeds down just to get through). The beach was also littered with garbage, even early in the morning. Checkout Problems: On the morning of departure, we called for a late checkout and were approved for noon. When we went downstairs to extend our keys, the request had not been noted in the system. Staff acted as if we had invented the approval. When I politely mentioned the room issues so they could be fixed for the next guest, I was met with attitude and questioned why we hadn’t called earlier about them. I explained we had already waited long enough for the iron. It should not be a guest’s responsibility to act as housekeeping manager and report every maintenance problem. Overall, this stay felt unworthy of a 5-star rating or the “World’s Best” reputation. We left disappointed and suggest you think twice before booking here again, especially during busy periods. I shared these exact concerns directly with the hotel via email shortly after our stay and never received any response — which is especially disappointing from a property of this caliber. If you’re expecting true luxury, relaxation, and attention to detail, you may want to consider other options. Read less
