Marenas Beach Resort

We decided to stay at Marenas Resort during our trip to attend a Miami Dolphins game. We usually stay in Hollywood Beach, but wanted something quieter, so we chose Marenas after seeing it pop up on Priceline. Unfortunately, we regretted that decision almost immediately. Upon arrival on October 30, we realized there was major construction happening right next to the hotel — not light renovation, but full-on heavy machinery, cranes, and constant banging. None of this was mentioned during booking, and since Priceline reservations are non-refundable, we felt stuck. We figured it was only two days — how bad could it be? The answer: very bad. After checking in, we were hit with unexpected additional fees — nearly $100 extra per day for parking, resort fees, taxes, and other charges. This brought the total to around $150 per day more than the already high room rate. Our room was on the 24th floor, directly beside the construction. Even with the patio doors closed, the noise was relentless from 7:00 AM to around 5:00–6:00 PM. The “ocean view” we paid for was impossible to enjoy, as the sound of machinery and hammering never stopped. Even at the pool, the music had to be turned up so loud to cover the noise that it was anything but relaxing. As a disabled veteran, this constant disruption made the stay extremely uncomfortable and stressful. We notified management, but they did nothing to help or accommodate us. After just one night, we decided to leave early and go home. What was meant to be a peaceful getaway turned into the exact opposite. To be fair, the breakfast was good, but very expensive — two avocado toasts and French toast cost $100, and that’s before realizing an 18% service charge was already included (which wasn’t disclosed until checkout). Overall, the resort’s lack of transparency, construction noise, and excessive fees make it a place to avoid. If you’re considering Marenas Resort, I strongly recommend waiting at least 2–3 years until the construction next door is finished. Until then, this property is nowhere near worth the price or the headache.

The staff was very polite and helpful and accommodated all of our needs, Diego was amazing very helpful, Andre the hotel manager was helpful and Sergio who worked the front desk was extremely nice and helpful

we had a great time. Amazing place for families, 2 adults and 2 kids. the location is really nice, woth a lot of dinning options.

Amazing gem. From service to the room, the beach and really everything. I don't understand why this place is not packed. High quality amenities with a great staff. I definitely will be coming back every time I'm in the Miami area.

The Marenas Resort is a great place to stay- beautiful beach, lovely hotel suite, and a few minutes walking and driving to restaurants and activities. Diego did a great job welcoming us to the resort and answered any questions we had.
