We stayed for four nights and were extremely disappointed. On the website, the resort is sold as a top-notch expernce; it was not. The hotel is old with many signs of its age- worn carpet, sofa, etc. The rooms just need to be updated for the price. To make matters worse, the rooms are filthy (garbage left behind from previous guests, etc.). Our greatest disappointment was with the additional costs of the stay- $14 per day for Internet access that is not Wi-Fi; mixed drinks at no less than $15; a soft drink in a can for $3.50; mediocre food at extremely high resort prices; $6.00 to rent a pool noodle for the day; rationing of ragged pool towels and a requirement that guests pay $5 per towel if they are not returned, etc. On the positive side, the staff was friendly and the pool is lovely. Overall, we spent much more money on the basics than warranted at this type of resort. If you want to go for golf only- and no other experience- this may be your place. Otherwise, there are definitely nicer resorts in a Miami that are much better for the price.

Only stayed one night for airport layover. We had a lovely view of the first tee of the red course. The room was very clean though it seemed a little dated. We went to the pool after check in and enjoyed our afternoon. They had water with lime that was delicious. The pool was not crowded at all and very serene.
We went to the bar and grill that over looks the 18th hole of the Blue Monster for dinner. We wanted a pitcher of Miller Lite, but after 15 minutes after ordering it, we were told that the keg was out. We decided at that point to just have water. We ordered the chips and salsa, guacamole appetizer. The chips definately came out of a bag, the salsa was canned, and the guacamole came out of carton, but it was ok. My wife had the wedge salad, and she said it was OK. I had a hamburger and it was nothing special. You could find the same hamburger at any chain restaurant.
Check out was easy, especially at 5:30 AM, and the front desk was very courteous. All in all, it was an average stay. We would stay here again if in the area.

I was in Miami for an event near the airport. Wanted to stay somewhere nice so I booked after going thru the trip advisor reviews. Better than I expected. Staff very friendly and accommodating. I used the jogging trail, restaurants( had breakfast sitting at the 18th hole looking back at the blue monster). Really great buffet. Got a haircut and massage at the spa. Swam some laps at the lap pool while waiting. You would never know you were in a big city. The atmosphere is relaxing even if you don't golf. I wanted to change rooms one nite because the people next door were a bit noisy- not too bad just enjoying themselves and I wanted to go to bed early. No problem, no hassles. They found a room with no one beside it. I felt comfortable the whole time. Next time I am in Miami I will stay there and bring my wife.

I was there for business and it may be the worst service experience I've ever had in the US.

The freight elevator was out of service, something I discovered happens all the time, and their atitude was - "Well, it's an old building and it's the original elevator. Just bring your stuff in through the lobby." This wouldn't have been a big deal if we were there for an afternoon of small breakout meetings but we were loading in for a week of big production work. We had multiple screens, flying truss, intelligent lighting, etc. It was a ton of gear! On top of that, Freeman was loading out from a week in that same space. So there we all were - guests departing with luggage, my group arriving from the airport, Freeman pushing out large flats, carts and displays and my guys loading in all the gear we're about to setup. It looked exactly like the Miami airport - mass confusion and congestion. And they thought that was a perfectly acceptable way to run a hotel.

The list of things that would go wrong:

1) All Keys quit working half-way through the week
2) All over the hotel, rooms were leaking bad enough that we had to move people out of sleeping rooms and administrative offices practically every day.
3) The breakout rooms on the lower level smelled like mold/mildew.
4) No one in the hotel will ever answer their phones or return any messages
5) EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING, takes 3-4 hours to get done. This became an ongoing joke but it's no laughing matter if you need something quickly.
6) They actually wanted to argue with us on the last day about some of the things we brought up. They tried to deny that we had any service related issues what-so-ever. They said that we should have called engineering or catering or banquets, or in-house AV and the problems would have been addressed immediately. When we told them we called each and every one one of these departments several times a day (that is no exageration) they didn't believe us. Did they think we were happy about sitting in rooms watching soggy acoustic tiles fall onto our presenters? Did they think we enjoyed sitting in a ballroom that was well over 100 degrees for a day and a half? I was speechless. We are not a meek and mild bunch. We complained every single day to our salesperson and nothing ever got done. And then they had the audacity to blame us for not calling often enough or for not calling the right department? Unfreakingbelievable.

Do not go here for business, ever. I wanted to secretly make the vampire cross sign with my fingers to all the groups that were coming through the ballroom on site visits. Those poor people....
