• Newer hotel with quality furnishings and fittings.
• Too many conference goers; "airport" hotel that is 1/2 hour from airport by cab - no facilities to check in for flights unless you bring laptop.

“Large facility with many conferences/conventions. The individual traveler is ignored. "Airport" hotel that is 1/2 hour from airport with no transportation other than taxi. Cannot check in for flights unless you bring your own laptop - front desk/concierge won't assist. For groups only.”

• Proximity to MIA. Easy for morning flight out.
• Proximity to MIA. Far from main Miami attractions.

“Excellent. Well known, especially to the golfing community. A little worn. i.e., carpets, etc.”

• One of the best hotels I have ever been to.
• Restaurants/bars closed a bit early.

“The hotel was better than all my expectations! The room was big, clean and very nice. Had a balcony with a nice view. Very nice bathroom and the bed were really good. The staff was very helpful and very nice. The hotel has a huge area with an awesome golf resort and spa center. A lot to do at the hotel. This is one of the best hotels I have ever been to, and I would absolutely come back. I can recommend this hotel to everybody. A beautiful hotel with a lot of activities. This is the first time I actually had to use a map to get around at the hotel. I had a really good time staying there.”

• The 1st visit the room was wonderful.
• The 2nd part of our visit, the room was awful! Noisy & Dirty.

“The first visit was a lovely room, the second part of our stay, the air wasn't working, room was dirty & old & by the busy road & very small. One of the worst rooms we've ever stayed in.”

• The rooms were spacious and very nicely furnished.
• Rooms were so noisy. You could hear every word that the person in the next room and hallway said.

“In all appearances this hotel was 4-star quality. The only drawback, which is a big one when you get no sleep, is the rooms are not soundproof at all. You can hear everyone talk in the room next to you and the hallway.”

• The room was absolutely gorgeous.
• The restaurant was too expensive and service wasn't great.

“I think this hotel would be wonderful for anyone to stay at. It is relaxing and quiet. If you want to have a fun getaway, this is the place.”

• It had great scenery.
• Everything is so expensive, you have to pay for internet at a ridiculous $12per day. your bill is never right.

“Great scenery but very overrated in terms of prices for everything. my friend was very uncomfortable with their beds. the carpets are old and the hallway smells. Outside it is great. Outdoor pool with a slide, ideal for romantic get always as it is quiet. Personnel is great.”

• Nice pool and lobby areas.
• A little older than I expected.

“Bell desk supervisor made a mistake getting our bags delivered to our room so 8 hours later I had to go back to the front desk to find them sitting behind the bell desk. These things happen. Overall, this is a nice place and the rest of the service was great. The public areas are very nice and the rooms are done well.”

• Service.

“The hotel was nice, but we did not have a guest book in the room and when we asked for one it never came. We called room service for a menu but after waiting 45 minutes I finally went to the front desk for one and they proceeded to make copies for me. I would expect better service out of a so called 4 star resort.”

• Pool was excellent.
• Staff, quality of room, charge for extras.

“Staff was mostly rude. Room was not resort quality. I would fill ripped off if I had not got discounted room.”

“Great location, initially the service was excellent, but as my stay progressed it steadily grew worse, calls for services or complaints went unreturned. I wouldn't recommend this location.”

• The grounds were beautiful, the spa was great, and the staff were very friendly.
• The room I was given was dark and in need of some updating (carpet, etc.) I ended up moving after two nights and the next room was much nicer.

“This is a sprawling golf resort hotel and I think that the rooms can be hit or miss. I tried two of them and they were much different from each other. The service was great and the pools and spa very nice. It is a beautiful property. If the weather is good and one is not stuck in the room too much, it feels 4-star. If spending a lot of time in the room, I would reduce that rating.”

• The grounds were very attractive.
• The room was small and the view was bad to far from main building.

“I think that for the brief period of time that we stayed there that I really didn't get to really see and enjoy all that the hotel may have had to offer.”

• Great setting, beautiful grounds.
• Rooms in several wings in great need of renovation.

“Far from airport, no transportation provided. Beware! Central building is nice but rooms are showing their age; carpets, furniture, etc. And could be cleaner.”

• Clean and easy to get to.
• Extra charges were put on Cameron Rosss credit card we did not authorize because we requested two rooms close together.

“The hotel was very nice. The desk staff was nice, but didn't speak very good English. We were not told that either of us was being charged extra for the rooms we were given. This was not expected. Valet parking was all we were told we would be billed extra for and a credit card was given for that use only. We later discovered they had charged extra per room onto the credit card of Cameron Ross. He is trying to get that taken off. Not sure what the status of his attempts have been.”

• Excellent if you have some pleasure time to mix with business.
• Bathroom could've been a bit cleaner; as could the lizard running across the wall.

“I would return.”

• Close to the airport.
• Thieves operate from inside of hotel.

“My family and I recently returned from a week long vacation in Florida. We stayed at the Miami Doral golf resort and spa. Last night we had arrived at the hotel at 10:30 p.m. And parked in at the lot adjacent to our rooms, the valet parking area. To avoid leaving the keys for the van with 9 suitcases inside, we went to the trouble of parking the van ourselves. The next day we discovered that someone had broken into our rented vehicle and that all of our nine pieces of luggage had been stolen from the vehicle. Immediately after discovering the breaking and entry we called hotel security. We also contacted the loss prevention officer and other members from the administrative departments. They called the police who also showed up minutes later. The police opened a case and assigned an incident number. Unfortunately, it appears that there are no security cameras covering this area and none of the security staff of the hotel witnessed the robbery. Because of the confidence we had in the hotel, we had no trepidations about leaving our luggage in a locked vehicle inside the security perimeter of the hotel in order to facilitate our early morning departure to the airport. We were thoroughly surprised and shocked that this type of crime could be perpetrated inside such a prestigious hotel. We visited Florida to go shopping and spent a considerable amount of money for the items which were in our luggage. The hotel's "investigation" resulted in nothing. The security staff was quick to tell us the hotel was not responsible. They didn't seem to take any responsibility for the stolen luggage. We were told that this was the first incident of such kind but later we learned that other guests had lost sets of golf clubs outside the club house and ipods from cars. Stay away from this place where it seems thieves operate from inside, no one will stay in a place where they feel safe.”
