Acqualina Resort & Spa on the Beach picked an ideal location to pitch its bright red beach loungers and cozy hammocks. Fashion types will delight in the proximity of the Bal Harbour Shops and Aventura Mall, while guests who crave Miami Beach's neon lights can easily get their nightly fix. The biggest temptation, however, is right at the resort – four pools, including an adults-only oasis flanked by cabanas, offer tranquility that can only be topped by a visit to the Finnish saunas and ice fountains at the award-winning spa.

It's been a bit since I wrote about the amazing Aqualina. We love it here and it's time to shout out our favorite folks. Let me first start with recognizing Gary- South Tower Security. He greets us with love and a smile that warms your heart. He sees our family as his family. Mike and Pashyn- security out by the pools- greet us with joy and genuine interest. Nayance at the adult pool- is hard working and looks out for us to have all the best amenities and all that we need to be comfortable. The beach attendants- Gabby, Kevin (welcome back), Sarah, Isaiah, Brendan, Dickenson, and of course the leaders Brandon and JonCarlo create a beach experience that is unforgettable. Their hustle and dedication to meeting guests' needs shine through in their hard work and smiling faces. Aris, Jorge, Ricardo, Monica, Melissa, Kate, Dylan, Valeria....YOU all are family to us, and you treat our guests and family as such as well. Knowing that you all will be there for us allows us to relax and enjoy this beautiful resort. Daved, Jose, and Carlos, the food runners, present us with the food with smiles and attentiveness. Their warmth is appreciated. Having Nicole at the bar is an added perk. She greets with such a welcoming attitude- so happy you joined the team. Finally, Richert and Pedro go above and beyond to welcome us as family and make EVERY visit special. We have missed some folks here but we will catch you next time. This is a 5 star resort for a reason. Thanks to all who make our time here feel like home away from home.

The Acqualina is my favorite place to visit. No place like it! Gabriela is the BEST. Works so hard, so kind, so thoughtful, and very consistent. I’m soooo happy she’s here. Valeria is so amazing; she made me feel so consistently looked out for. Got to know us and always made a point to make contact and make sure we had everything we need. Mike at security makes me smile every day - soooo kind. He is truly one of a kind. Gary at the South Tower Security is the most wonderful, so incredibly generous and kind. Heart of gold. Aris is the very best server - always looks out for us, speedy, and so lovely. Always on his game. Jorge at the restaurant is awesome - what a JOY! He takes amazing care of us. Sarah is a new favorite — took great care of us while we were at the restaurant couches, so attentive. She deserves to be recognized. Jose is the best food runner - the most gentle spirit. He’s a bright light. So reliable and so consistent. Conrad is my favorite always. Year after year, he’s the very best. And Richert and Pedro at Ke-uh are truly like family — few people as special as them on the planet!!!! Endlessly kind and the hardest workers. There are soooooo many wonderful people, but these are the ones who will keep my coming back year after year!

i had the pleasure to spend 3 wonderful nights at this property in late February for a solo birthday celebration to relax in the sun. The staff at this hotel are attentive, genuinely gracious, and embody true luxury service. The spa is fantastic with the cold plunge and wet and dry sauna. They also have a relaxation room which was a treat. The breakfast outside by the fountain each morning was delicious. Highly recommend Acqualina Resort for all types of travelers.
