LoanDepot Park

Amazing location, great staff, great views and all in all the best stay ever

A very busy hotel which is lacking in 5 star service from the get go. The main lobby entrance is very busy and no organisation whatsoever. Given it is a 5 star hotel you are left to cart your luggage to check in and then afterwards to the room. Its no drama to us but when paying 5 star prices this would normally be an automatic service withour requesting it. The pool area on the roof is incredibly busy and not enough beds for all the residents. The pool on level 3 is in the shade by 14.30hrs so you are left with the residents pool on level 2 or if you are lucky to find a bed on the roof top pool area. The rooms are huge and to a very good standard. The coffee shops are incredibly expensive and at lest three times as expensive as Joe & The Juice literally 5 minutes walk away. The location beside the boardwalk is fabulous and is such a cool vibe with people working out up and down the beach areas. I loved Miami and cant wait to return but would i return to this hotel, probably not due to the lack of value for money/service you should expect from a 5 star hotel.

Mixed feelings about my stay. What I liked: - Interiors looks cool. I felt like I traveled back in time. Very nice design. - Location at the beach. What I didn't like: - All furniture in my suit was made of wood. It means you have to be careful if you have some wet things because there's no place to put them without risking damaging their furniture. - Wooden shades in some windows would't shut close including bathroom. And since my suit faced front it was a big deal. I had to use some tricks to close them. - Bathroom's spotlight barely worked. It wasn't that important but since I pay several hundreds of dollars for one night I think everything should work. - Bathroom has no counter, only a sink. It means you don't have any space to put your staff there. Toothpaste, toothbrush and that's it. You can't fit anything else there. You don't even have place to hang your towels - there's only one hook. - Description says it has a fridge. I'd call it a cooler or mini-fridge. It has no freezer inside like many fridges in other hotels have. And this one has a glass door, what means it's more like a cooler. I'm glad the hotel had an ice machine. - I paid extra for breakfast when booked this hotel. The breakfast is served by a restaurant located inside. I chose an option that had scrambled egg, sausage, toast, and potatoes. It turned out the smallest breakfast I ever had. The whole meal is pretty small. I'm a skinny person but even I eat at least twice as much. Don't expect to get full.
