Looking for a caterer in the Greater Miami area? Look no further than Rice Catering. Wally Rice is…read morea genius chef who came to my rescue when I was seeking a caterer for an event that would take place just a month away...and planning all logistics from across the country. I spoke with/received proposals from several catering companies but Wally was the most responsive and creative of the bunch, by far. Wally became a trusted partner as I coordinated across the miles. He even gracefully accommodated several last-minute requests and changes. The food was delicious and fresh. His staff--like Wally--are friendly and fun. I recommend Wally and Rice Catering, without any hesitation, to anyone seeking a professional, creative and service-oriented catering company. Thank you, Wally!

As a frequent guest of Marriott properties, I expected a much better experience from this hotel…read more Unfortunately, it fell well short of the standards I've come to expect. We requested and were approved for an early check-in at 1:00 PM. When we arrived, we were told our room wouldn't be ready for another hour. We checked back at 2:00 PM, but it still wasn't available. We ultimately didn't get into our room until 4:00 PM. To make up for the delay, the hotel upgraded us to a different room, which was appreciated, but I almost wish we had kept the original reservation. The room was disappointing. The floors were dirty, the ceiling had numerous water stains from what appeared to be previous leaks, and even the paper coffee cups and coffee packets looked dirty. Overall, I left very disappointed and hope the hotel addresses its cleanliness and room readiness issues. On a positive note, the surrounding area is absolutely beautiful.

We stayed on the AC side last time and it's gets a bit confusing…read more Differences is the element side - rooms have a kitchenette and free breakfast is included. You still get the dining credit (against the resort fee) on either side. Check-in was much smoother this time. A room was ready right away which was amazing after an early travel day. Biggest negative for me was the pillows provided. They were super flimsy. If it were more than a one night stay, I would have asked for different ones or extras. The room was clean, AC was strong and the bed was comfortable. The continental breakfast included a hot option cooked fresh but no omelettes. There is also a waffle maker, various breads, yogurt station etc. But, strangely, the plates are tiny. Probably to keep people from taking too much or going back to their rooms. Location is great- walking distance to a mall, food options etc. No airport or cruise shuttle though.

In 1964 Muhammed Ali defeated Sonny Liston here and in 1968 it hosted the Republican National Convention. Between 2015-2020 the convention center was renovated at a cost of 620 million dollars. Today it is a 1.4-million-square-foot, LEED Silver-certified facility. There is a Grand Ballroom, 500,000 square feet of flexible exhibition halls, 4 junior ballrooms, outdoor terraces and parks, and eighty-four breakout rooms. One of the biggest events of the year is Art Basal. More than 600,000 people visit the convention center every year. If you are coming to the convention center you can park at the convention center garage for $20 or walk a block away to the 17th Street garage for $2 an hour. The convention center is a large, modern space that was ideal for the event I attended, Playoff Fan Central, an interactive experience held over three days in conjunction with the College Football Playoff National Championship. The convention center is so large that a football field was constructed inside along with all of the other booths and exhibitors. The restrooms were convenient and clean. Security was tight and and I felt safe during the event. The convention center is across the street from the Miami Beach Botanical Gardens and withing walking distance of Lincoln Road and many other Miami Beach restaurants, shops, and attractions. It's convenient location makes it particularly attractive to visitors.

It's bright, clean, modern, and massive--yet still felt well maintained throughout the event. With large venues like this, I'm usually skeptical of the restrooms, but kudos to the team. They were clean, thoughtfully designed, and well kept. I especially appreciated the full privacy between stalls and the dedicated space to place your bag. It's the little things that make a difference. Parking was fairly easy, and getting in wasn't an issue. One improvement would be clearer signage directing guests to the best entrance based on the location of event rooms, which would make navigating smoother. Overall, a solid venue for large-scale events with great attention to comfort and cleanliness. IG @shallonztable Where food meets adventure. See you back at the table.

5/5 Excellent hotel!…read moreThe property was spotless, modern, and very well maintained. The staff was friendly, check-in was easy, and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The A/C was ice cold, the hot water was almost instant, and the elevators were fast and reliable. The pool looked beautiful and well maintained, although we didn't have time to use it. The location is perfect for visiting the Florida Keys while saving money on lodging. My only complaint is that breakfast isn't included. We would definitely stay here again!
