The Deauville Beach Resort in Miami Strand

Toen ik de recensies van dit hotel las was ik in eerste instantie nogal huiverig. Maar het hotel viel me reuze mee. Het is wat onpersoonlijk door de omvang, maar ik heb geen slechte ervaring gehad. De hotelkamers waren ruim en bedden en sanitair goed. Het was niet het meest luxe maar prima te doen. De valet parkting van 20 dollar per dag is inderdaad […] niet goedkoop, maar je kunt in ieder geval je auto op een veilige plek kwijt. Wij zaten op de 12e verdieping aan de miami river kant, uitzicht is fantastisch! Lees meer

No enough parking space,needs tons of maintenance,terrible swimming pool...really expensive for what they offer...

When we arrived we where told the valet parking area was under construction and we'd have to park blocks away. One of the guys working the shuttle / valet area had me follow him to a parking lot where i paid to park over night and gave me a ride back, i think this guy was the best employee at the hotel, lol. Front desk didn't seem overly helpful and […] when we got there the elevators where broken and we had to take a service elevator up to our room, which just had sheets on the beds, no blankets or soap to be found anywhere in the room. Went down to the restaurant which claimed to have the 'Best italian food in miami' and ordered spaghetti that was so terrible i ended up opting out of it and grabbing a pizza across the street. Went back to the room to try and get some work done and the wifi was completely useless, couldn't load anything on it. Couldn't get the one channel i wanted to watch on tv even though their list of channels had it on there and when i went to try the restaurant again for breakfast i was informed they didn't have the actual breakfast menu we had saw the night before but we had the choice of the over priced breakfast buffet or the over priced continental breakfast. Couldn't check out of there fast enough. Lees meer

Would not go there again! Needs serious updating!

enjoyed it very much, look forward to coming back

I discovered for the first time this hotel and i really liked because it had a huge lobby and big pool too. The beds needs to be updated in the room, not very comfy.,

No parking available. Told to park about 1/2 Km away and take shuttle. Too bad there is NO shuttle. No assistance with luggage. About five or six employees standing around doing nothing. Room has not been updated since the sixties. Filthy floors. Paper thin walls and noise from next unit kepy us awake. Asked for and was moved to another room. Same problem. […] DO NOT GO HERE !!

Do not stay here. This place is old, dirty, terrible parking, pool, rooms...shall I continue.

The nearest parking to this hotel is a 15 minute walk away. Staff said there was a shuttle but we never saw one - and neither did anyone else who had to make the trek with small children. The public parking is free from 6pm to 8am - but you have to be back to feed the meter by 8am. Also, no towels for pool after 6pm. so hurry and use pool between 4pm […] (check in) and 6pm when the towels have to be returned. Great beach location and nice rooms, but staff absolutely NOT helpful. Lees meer

It was a little overpriced as far as the room goes but, it had a great location

This hotel has all the bones to make it great but they are still trapped a little in the 50's. Although they are doing renovations it seems like they are doing it very piecemeal. Our room seemed to be remodeled but it felt like they got 90 percent done then just gave up. Making a great hotel is all about details and the Duvalle is short on detail. The […] lobby is amazing and the gym seemed pretty good. I could not log onto the internet from my room during my entire stay. I even called but the IT guy was not around and never called me to help either. I was told on my way out that it is easier to get online from the lobby. but I never tried. The pool is Huge and the water was warm but it is in major need of an upgrade. I love the fact that it is 9 ft deep but there is a lot of wasted opportunity with the great amount of space in that pool area. Again, a few million could make the pool area rock. I love the fact that it is on the beach. The beach is AMAZING! FYI you only get 2 lounge chairs on the beach per room. The Pool DJ was great and the people who worked there were friendly for the most part. There is a big problem with the parking. There is none. No Valet either. You have to drive 5 blocks to a city lot to park and the shuttle takes a long time. I would suggest after dropping off your suitcase just walk back to and from the lot. There are some good restaurants and little shops worth knowing about that you see on your walk. I believe that they are building a parking garage somewhere nearby but again I don't know when that is going to be done. For breakfast I would recommend walking two blocks south to where there is a NYC bagel place. You are about a 15 min drive to all the South Beach fun. Its no big deal and we got there fast on a Fri and Sat night. Overall I found the hotel charming and I had a good stay. I would love to see the owners put some cash into this place and turn it into a showplace. It could be great. Lees meer

Overall, the hotel wasn't that bad but you are paying for the beach. Room was clean but really need to update the bedding and towels. Parking is a problem because their valet parking was full the whole time and had to park in a lot 5 streets up. Shuttle service was available.

I don't know why people have been reviewing this hotel poorly. For a hotel this old they are doing a great job of competing with the new super hotel market while offering a competitive price. The staff was great. The pool was fine. Loved the ocean view. Good location. If people want more, than pay more. But for a place to crash while visit Miami Beach, […] my cousins and I had a fantastic week. Book here without fear. I wouldn't hesitate to return. Lees meer

When we arrived we drove up to valet. The rude attendent told us valet was full we would have to park in public parking 4 blocks away. You must be there at 8 a.m. every morning to pay or else you will get a $18.00 parking ticket. The rooms have no comforters only sheets and blankets that they probably got from the homeless shelter.They were nasty and […] uncomfortable. They were disgusting! The lobby had bugs in the furniture. Checking out we waited 45 minutes trying to get an elevator from the 8th floor to the lobby. Would not recommend. Lees meer

The hotel was really good and with a good price

this is a weird one. First of all, there is NO hotel parking lot, so those of you that rent a car are SOL and are relegated to go to the public beach parking lot. This wouldn't be so bad except you had to feed the meter every 8 hours (and the lot does issue tickets and tow vehicles). ALSO, you have to remember to feed the meter by 8 am. Secondly, it […] takes the staff a long time to get you stuff. Asked for an extra mattress for a guest to sleep on...took them a day and some change to even acknowledge us. Thirdly, there were some ants that crawled up through the drain, but it was hot, and they were probably just after any source of sugar or water. On the plus side, they have an excellent location. It's right on the beach, and their pool has a great bar. There's a taxi stand near by, and there are restaurants that you can walk to. Our balcony was amazing and had a really awesome view of the ocean. All in all, a very dissatisfying experience service wise, but great location. Lees meer

Power went out every morning and the staff did not care to explain or help with the situation. The windows were dirty AND the room was stinky. DO NOT STAY HERE TO SAVE YOUR LIFE!!!!

I booked this hotel because the photos of it looked nice and the price was right. When I pulled up to the hotel in my rental car with 4 big bags- no one came to our service. We sat there for 5 minutes and then approached a bellman who told us that their valet had closed at 6pm and we would have to pay $20 per day to park in some far away lot and take […] a shuttle back to the hotel with all of our bags. The Bellman still did not help us with our luggage. He sat and stared at us like we were crazy for expecting help. The entrance of the hotel has a bunch of stairs- with NO ramp to roll suitcases up. So not only does the bellman not help, but all guests have to lug their bags up a flight of stairs before checking in. But wait- that is just the start. Once inside the hotel, most of the lights were off which was weird. We got to our room and here is what we found: 1. A large iron shaped burn in the carpet right in the middle of the room 2. ripped shredded carpet with exposed tacs which my friend stubbed her toe on 3. NO HOT WATER !????? 4. ripped, pealing paint off of the walls 5. dirty linens in bathroom 6. an hole cut in the floor with a rotting metal piece and some bolts sticking out. (Not sure what that was) DO NOT STAY HERE!!!! Lees meer

This is a tired property that appears to be waiting to be torn down for re-development. Unfortunately we were there during Spring Break, and although there was not any serious partying to bother us, late returning guests noise in the halls echoed loudly, so that we were disturbed nightly. Chipped paint and tired furniture completed the picture.

For me it was a big waiting my vacation in Miami however I was disapointed for that hotels quality,standards,accueil of reception...

Overall the hotel was very clean and nice. It was like stepping back into the 70's which was fine. The room had flat screen televisions and was very clean. It could be updated. You get two beach chairs and towels everyday. We hung out on the beach and pool so it was just awesome. Also there is a very nice beachfront path the we walked/jogged on every […] day. I would stay there again. Lees meer

My husband and I love retro style, we can see the hotel renewal and the update at the room. But the designer or the manager did not use wisely of the lighting and the material on the wall. It should be nice if they put wall paper instead of just paint on top. Unfortunately we did not use the pool nor visit the beach because of the storm. The good thing […] was a drug store at the corner and convenient to find restaurant there. Plus the partial view of Miami city with water. Lees meer

NO hot water, unexplained power outages, rude staff, (but that just seems to be Miami in general, NO blanket on bed, just a sheet. stay well clear

There was no parking, the parking lot was 5 blocks away, they did offer shuttle to and from the parking lot. I was on my honeymoon and found out that the hotel was hosting a gay convention. I have nothing against gay people but that is not the way I had planned on spending my honeymoon watching a hotel full on gay guys making out all in the hotel, the […] pool, the hot tub & the beach. My husband was so disgusted that we did not enjoy our honeymoon at all. In the future Hotels.com should find out if a hotel is hosting an event so they can inform the customer of any activities that is going on. If I had known that, that convention was going on I would have never booked my honeymoon their. I am so upset about the whole thing. Lees meer

You get what you paid for! Although the hotel is old it is decently kept, we arrived early around2:15 and we were able to check-in right away. We had two rooms booked and the check-in staff was pretty nice; maybe because we spoke Spanish too. The pool area is big and the resort price included two beach chairs and four towels per room. The bar was a […] little expensive but what else can you ask for its right by the beach, maybe just bring your own! I was charged 40 bucks at arrival on my credit card but was cleared out within three business days and didn’t have to pay anything extra. We also checked-out about two hours late due to the time change. The only negative feedback was the cleaning lady knocking at the door at 9AM asking when we were leaving. Lees meer

especially if ya' like the Beatles! Rooms were fresh & clean. The hotel needs to do a little TLC when it comes to painting & caulking bathrooms, hallways etc.. Beds need a bit of upgrading & they could put a lil' more effort into making the DEAUVILLE a "Retro Beatles Ed Sullivan Appearance Re-Visited Experience". How about some new stylish framed photos […] everywhere and hooking up the Napoleon Ballroom with some Ed Sullivan / Beatle memorabilia etc. This was an historic appearance & theres a LOTTA beatle fans that would find it very cooool. thanks folks : ) Lees meer

Older Hotel with nice location and eateries in walking distance. Did not like the beds as they were old and linens were worn.

Okay, I'm from Miami, so I know that Miami is not known for its friendly people. The minute we arrived at the Deauville, we realized that we shouldn't expect anything different. It doesn't say it anywhere on the website, but you are required to park about 5 blocks from the hotel (no valet). The non-valet person wouldn't event take the time to explain […] to us where to park or where to catch the shuttle. My husband waited for 30 minutes in a dark parking lot by himself in Miami Beach trying to find this shuttle. Also, the hotel bathrooms and the pool areas are completely run down and out of date. On a good note, the location is beautiful, if you're looking for a great beach location. There are plenty of restaurants around as well. If we didn't have an ocean view room, I don't think I would have enjoyed our stay at all. Lees meer

Very close to the beach and easy to see Ocean. There is no parking lot. You have to use public parking lot. That is big problem.

The hotel was clean but it has not been updated in the last 20 + years. You are a long walk, bus or cab ride from south beach so pay the extra money and stay in a hotel in south beach. We had to change rooms because the first night we could hear everyone who walked by our room - the walls are thin !!! We moved to a room at the end of the hall and they […] are nice to move us but acted like they were doing us a favor. As I said the hotel was cheap but clean so you get what you pay for. Lees meer

Not good at all. They have the worst service. the first and the last time that i going to stay in this hotel. I go bet. 2 0 3 times to Miami beach during of the year Like i said, but never again.thanks

This hotel looks updated, in the lobby, but the room looked like the last renovation it received was in 1970. It was old and run down. Should have taken it as a sign when we pulled up and had to request the valet to do their job. When we came back after dinner they wanted me to park 6 blocks away and only the fact that I had a sleeping child in my car […] convinced them to assist me. The only good thing was room service. They delivered a menu, the food came up fast and hot and was delicious. Won't stay here again. Lees meer

The Deauville is an OK place to get a cheap oceanfront view with a balcony and easy beach access, but you need to ignore everything else about the place. You can tell that the hotel does the absolute bare minimum to keep the place running. It is a dinosaur of a hotel, the pool is old and cracked, the room furniture is ancient and falling apart. The […] staff is completely apathetic, they have no desire to be pleasant or helpful. We did enjoy our oceanview balcony and the beach acess is great, but I doubt we would ever stay there again. Lees meer

My daughter and I stayed at the Deauville Beach Resort and we had such a good holiday while visiting Miami. The location of the hotel is wonderful - right on the beach front. The hotel is providing the sun beds and umbrellas + service is offerered from the pool restaurant. Very good value - can recommend to stay at this beautiful place!

Hotel rooms are not fancy, but very clean. The beds were comfortable and the oceanview room was awesome. Free lounge chairs on the beach was a plus.

Really liked my room. It was updated. The pool and beach were nice. The hotel is a little dated. I think it is a good place to bring families. You are a little far from the hustle and bustle of south beach. There are very few restaurants nearby.

Hotel definitely looked dated. Some floors looked frozen in time from the 60's. Lobby was nice, but only 2 out of 4 elevators seems to work (barely). Room was dated but clean. Spacious and cold A/C. WIFI signal was weak and barely useable. Lobby seems like the only place to use WIFI and judging by everyone else there on Laptops, I wasn't the only one […] with this problem. On the second day we had no hot water in our bathroom. Repairman came with minutes to try and fix it. Was able to get luke-warm water, which was barely sufficient for a shower. Location, beach, pool, amenities were excellent for the price, but don't expect perfection everywhere. You get what you pay for. Lees meer

we were in town for the boat show the location of the hotel was great because it was on the route of the free shuttle buses from the yahts to the convention center. the room was very nicely decorated the bed was comfy and the beach and the beach walk were very nice. Would love to go back again sometime soon.

I would not recommend this hotel because of the bad parking problem we had. The late check in time and attitude of the valet guys. We ended having after 2 attempts finding a space 7 blocks from hotel and having twice to navigate the busy entrance in order to unload bags. The valet guys not the most helpful allowing me only 10 minutes to get my luggage […] of loaded and each time having my car block in by other traffic.After all the time it took we had very little time to unwind by the pool before darkness.
