Miami Beach resorts

Cons: I was charged twice for my staying and although I've contacted the site several times and it's been three weeks I still couldn't get my money back

Cons: I can't quite say it was a true 5 star experience in terms of appearance and for the premium price. But again, a lot better than the other hotels around.

Cons: The Spa experience was ok, Massage for a deep tissue was weak. The Sauna was not on, I turned it on but should be preheated for guests or what good is it. For $440 for 2 - 50 minutes massages I expect more.

Cons: The room had big stains on the carpet & it was not well maintained or cleaned.

Cons: Not up to Ritz standards! More like a motel

Cons: The lobby decor. Also, no coffee shop.

Cons: The way of the travel world now appears to be to charge little bits (or more) for every little thing, this was no exception.

Cons: The facilities need maintenance. Particularly the pool area. Broken tiles and the bottom of the pool was chopping off in at least one large area. The bathroom also could use some maintenance. The vanity top had a chopper out of it and theme leftist was rusting in areas.

Cons: At $400 a night, the view was horrible. The balcony felt like I was in some dump as I had to duck to look outside to the city and Fountainbleu was much cheaper and much much better with all the same services and more along with the same service...which was good.

Cons: Cleaning of the room

Cons: Some staff were not truthful when faced with conflicting situations, which led to a lot of unwanted and unnessary aggravation, and wasted time. A lot of renovation was, and still is taking place, which also added to 2 of 4 elevators being unaccessible. Thus waiting for the elevator was a task. And getting on the elevator was another task, then getting to your room or the lobby was another task in itself. Had I known about the renovation that I was not told about, I would have booked another hotel. The room was not a replica of the luxurious room that was pictured. The refrigerator was not working, thank God I did not have my kids with me.

Cons: Construction everywhere. I was not expecting it and would have chosen somewhere else had I known. Did not make for a relaxing day laying out by the pool with the constant pounding of a jack hammer in the background. Drinks and food were super overpriced for the size and amount of alcohol. Everything included 18-20% gratuity which will catch you off guard.

Cons: Canceled reservation with one day's notice.

Cons: DONT STAY AT THIS HOTEL. WAIT UNTIL THEYVE FINISHED RENOVATING. The majority of the hotel is under construction. The entire lobby is closed off with white curtains due to the construction, leaving only the elevators and front desk assessable. The set-up makes the hotel dark and depressing. The decor is outdated. The staff at the front desk was not friendly at all. Most of all, the rooms in the main tower are NOT what you will expect them in a resort. We stayed in a deluxe king room and it was tiny! The view was terrible! If you're going to stay here you have to stay in the ocean view tower and don't be afraid to pay for the best rooms available: only then will your stay be worth your buck.

Cons: Renovations were taking place during my stay. It was extremely loud. Difficult to enjoy my room or time at the pool.

Cons: Facilities out of order. Neither the men's nor women's bathroom in the lobby was functioning. Elevators not working properly- had to wait 15 minutes for an elevator!! Mosquitos all over my room. The mattress on my bed felt more like a box spring than a mattress. It was not comfortable at all. One of the people who delivered room service to my room suggested I should add the "additional gratuity" because the hotel doesn't give him any of the gratuity that's already included. Overall, this hotel was FAR from a luxury experience. Needs lots of work.

Cons: Service by staff was slow

Cons: Upper pool is under construction and spa pool in bad need of renovation. The beach facing bar/ restuarant will also be a huge amenity when open (in the spring?) but I missed having a second food option onsite and ended up going next door.

Cons: A little up from southbeach. Wish it was closer but you cant complain. Long walk to convenient stores

Cons: The only issue was all the construction we were NOT warned about!!

Cons: Pillows were flat...steamer was extremely dirty...bed was uncomfortable....toilet kept running

Cons: I had a few dislikes and not sure about returning. Staff tried their best to accommodate us for our concerns. My biggest dislike was the construction, all pools close at 8pm, and approach taking by some staff members to the facilities selective concerns with my family members.

Cons: Wish there was a adult only pool

Cons: A better functioning room with door lock and AC

Cons: It was dated. The sheets in the bed were torn up. The phone was dirty. The fridge was broken (found out about that after 200 in good spoiled ). There was some woman that I could only say was a pimp yelling and cursing on her cell phone. When we asked if she could be removed they told us that she brings them a lot of business and is there all of the time. The elevator was old and their food was disgusting. I would never even walk through that place again even after they renovate

Cons: Pool was heavily chlorinated. resort fees are hard to justify, all said..

Cons: Desk staff was a little condescending and not very friendly.

Cons: It seemed a little run down, but that was in character for a hotel that was as old as this.

Cons: Didn't replace toiletries in the bathroom. Sheets were very rough.

Cons: Rooms could have been cleaned better. Needs updating

Cons: The hotel will nickel and dime you for many different resort fees.

Cons: Our room was not clean and was in complete shambles when they sent us up there at check-in. (Imagine walking into a room that looks like a rock band had just partied there. We were speechless.) The Bellhop did not give us a claim tag for our luggage we dropped off so we had to go identify it in the storage room and the bellhop had the nerve to ask for a tip after. There was a significant amount of blood on the walls between the doors of our room and the room next door (how can you miss that? who is looking over this place??)

Cons: We stayed for two nights (March 18-19). Prior to the stay, a few days before arrival, I had tried calling the hotel front desk just to confirm the reservation and make sure everything was set and wasn't able to get someone to answer. The phone rang out and went to a weird voicemail that certainly wasn't representative of a hotel in this price range.. I went online to go to their site to find out that the James group had sold this hotel the previous Monday to Starwood Hotels. I couldn't find the new site since Google was still pulling James Royal Palm, and that it was still in business. Long story short, I called a Starwoods reservation line and they were able to confirm the reservation, and I told them about the advertised phone number and she said she would reach out to a team to fix that issue. Obviously just a transitional thing, but, for people staying it was a bit concerning. Other than that the only thing that keeps this hotel from 5 stars right now, and perhaps Starwood will fix that, is that when you call the front desk you don't get an answer. Not only with the previously mentioned issue, but calling from inside the room no one would pick up after 10+ rings. 5 star hotels to me would certainly answer the front desk call from people staying.

Cons: Housekeeping staff took my iPhone 6 charger and took the bottles of alcohol that I bought and placed in the fridge. They also took my razors. Also noticed that while they are on the floors cleaning they keep all of the doors open even if they have other people's property in them which makes it really easy for someone else to go in to your room and take your stuff.

Cons: They lost our reservation so it took a little extra time at check in, but they did upgrade our room slightly. Our room was inconsistently cleaned/restocked and the lack of staff caused longer than expected wait times throughout the property. The pool was also frequently 'full' with no loungers available.

Cons: Be aware any online prices don't include the $33+ "resort fee" just like the restaurants in the area include tip...the ask for additional tip. Very nice place but I hate not knowing the costs up front.

Cons: Paper thin walls, unprofessional waiters, had to switch rooms due to drilling noise at 1am

Cons: Over-priced services, drinks and food...and they charged us a $30 resort fee per day which we weren't informed about when we first checked in.

Cons: Food was pretty good, but I feel like it was overpriced. The room was really expensive too, but I was there during a busy travel season/weekend. Like many south beach hotels, pool seating was limited.

Cons: Smaller room

Cons: the pool area was dirty all time

Cons: Cheap renovations with premium cost of accommodation. Parking cost is unreasonable. Our first room had not been cleaned after the previous guests. We were switched to a worse/smaller room. There was no acoustic privacy.

Cons: I requested a late checkout, as I was unsure when I would be done with my meetings, and the gentleman at the front desk smirked and laughed at my request, which I did not appreciate. I do not fault the Royal Palm for this I still feel, despite this individual, I had an amazing experience and I will definitely return.

Cons: Rooms are dark and cold. No bathtub.

Cons: During my three day stay, I saw police at the hotel on two different occasions. Just not something you really want to see while your on vacation trying to relax. I know this is obviously something the hotel couldn't control. Too many items are stocked in the refrigerator inside the hotel room. There were so many items, that I could hardly fit anything that I had purchased inside of it.

Cons: Breakfast service was sooooo slow. We waited like 20’ to get only water. Only had cold water in the room.... and staff wasn’t responsive to fix it in a timely manner for us to have a hot shower... pool area is not nicely designed, lacks atmosphere. Royal Palm is milking a goat. Would not go back, there are better options for this price.

Cons: They have a club (very loud club) open Thurs-Sat and Mon nights until 4 a.m. You can hear and feel the beat all night until...we were very disappointed that no one told us about this problem.

Cons: CLEAN THE HOTEL! UPDATE THE HOTEL! GET THIS PLACE TOGETHER, BECAUSE ITS NEVER BEEN LIKE THIS EVER! FIX THINGS AND MAKE IT SEEM LIKE A HOTEL AND NOT A MOTEL!

Cons: Poor hotel management, and poor service when allocating rooms and requesting guests to change rooms. They tried to downgrade us on the first night (the room was already paid for), and also offered us to sleep at an other hotel on the first night because our room was not available. Not accessible. Swimming pool area: Bathroom at the pool could be the bathroom of a 2 star hotel, and there are no indoor shower.

Cons: Apart from a small bistro in the lobby and bar snacks by the pool there is no where to eat. I was looking forward to breakfast outside by the pool but there are no Restaurent facilities. The movie channels did not work and the minibar in the bedroom was never replenished.

Cons: We were very disappointed that the pool closes nightly at 7 p.m. This seemed odd with the Miami heat and the fact that it does not even get dark until about 9 p.m.

Cons: $40 per night for valet parking

Cons: Spa, gym under construction. They had security guards on each floor lobby, sometimes chatty.

Cons: Call well in advance for valet. It takes them awhile to get your car because it's parked offsite.

Cons: Carpet in the room was worn off. I wouldn't say it was dirty because I think the lightness of the carpet color made it easy to look aged.

Cons: Reception, room, management everything was bad!

Cons: Different interior then pictures

Cons: worst room we have ever seen moldy ceiling Rusty walls bathrooms offices in basement this is actually the worst bro we have ever had in the 40 Years of traveling save your money
