Trump International Beach Resort

Came here witg family to have a good time and didn’t mind paying an enormous amount of money for. Well, it so happens that the room smells musky, the shower doesn’t drain, paint peeling, service is slow and rooms don’t get put together and replenished!!!!! OMG What a disappointment... absolutely nothing is going to bring me back...

Oh so many things are amiss here... it’s a really long list, and I see that many of the reviews here have already covered them, so here is the short version. This is a tired 80’s hotel, and not much can be done to improve it that wouldn’t take millions of dollars. The entrance is faded and worn with a zoo for the valet operations. Not enough space for ALL OF THE PEOPLE... and there are plenty. Elevators, hallways, restaurant, bar area, lobby - jammed packed with sweaty people and their children. It’s essentially a crowded cruise ship on land. We kept asking ourselves out loud, “does Trump know his name is on this thing?� The surrounding area is no better. Crowded, dirty, overrun... at one point we thought we were in Istanbul. Not a bad thing if you were actually there! There are a few good restaurants nearby, but not much else. Traffic was horrific at most times and the area around the hotel is not really designed for walking. The service at the bar took 30 minutes to get, and checkout took about the same. Through all of this, there were some really great and helpful staff, so that was a plus. The room/suite was old and outdated, as was the furniture. On top of all of this, there was no indication online that foundation work has started on the hi-rise next door, so we had to listen to piling hammers all day. I rarely give such poor reviews, but this one is warranted. If you are from a developing country, this might be a great place. But if you thought the Trump luxury experience awaits you... you will be very disappointed.

Long story short - we ended up at the Trump Hotel following a HORRENDOUS airbnb experience. There were 12 of us so we reserved 2 rooms and one of the suites with a kitchen. You also have pool and beach access with wristbands for chairs and umbrellas. It is a distance from South Beach so be prepared for that. Nothing that can't be solved with Uber, or in our case (due to the event), a limo.

Very nice hotel. But the pool is small for this kind of hotel. Rooms are clean, friendly staff. Near Ball Harbour and Aventura areas. The room service is good but the resort fee and parking are a little expensive. For this price I'd rather stay at Fontainebleau.

Stayed here for 5 days a few weeks ago as we have for the past 15 years and once again had a fabulous time. Always get a Jr Suite Ocean View room but thanks to the attentive front desk person informing us that the construction next door gets noisy, we upgraded to a 1 bedroom Ocean Front Suite on the 20th floor for a reasonable fee. What an awesome room it was! Plus since we celebrate our wedding anniverary here every year, they sent a bottle of bubbly and chocolate covered strawberries to our room! The elevators can get very busy on the weekend but that's understandable. Pool drink service excellent as usual. Enjoyed the breakfast buffet a few days too. The entire staff was very nice, responsive and accommodating. Always love staying in Sunny Isles; so much less crowded than SoBe and the Trump International Beach Resort is our go-to place to celebrate our wedding anniversary for 15 years in a row.
