We were in town for a Copa game at Hard Rock Stadium and wanted to find a nice place to enjoy a beach retreat as part of the trip and Marenas exceeded our expectations. The property is beautiful and is located right on one of Miamis pristine beaches. The hotel provides beach chairs and umbrellas, so enjoying the beach really is a breeze. The water is crystal clear and the beach is very clean. We really liked that this is not a super busy public beach. The pool is small, but really nice. We ate breakfast and dinner at the on site restaurant and the food was really good. The drive to the stadium is about 20 minutes without traffic, so very convient for everything we were looking for. I think we may have found our go-to place for our South Florida visits!

Overall, B+ rating The location is fantastic! Walking distance to a ton of restaurants, groceries, shopping, etc. Also a short driving distance to Miami and Ft. Lauderdale. The front desk was average, at best, for the duration of our stay. Three times we asked the front desk to break a $50 bill and they could not. They suggested we ask the valet and they too could not give us change. Having worked in hotel management for 20+ years, I can tell you this is very, very strange and NOT the norm. The front desk staff were nice but certainly did not go out of their way to be friendly nor overly welcoming. There seemed to be alot of confusion among the desk staff. Each time a guest was checking in, they had to wait for [I believe] the manager to walk them through the check-in process. The nicest gal we talked with at the desk was when we were checking out. She is the only desk staff who engaged in conversation with us. The valet staff was very personable. The room layout is very nice with gorgeous views. In the afternoon when the sun is blocked by the building on the beach, I moved to our room's deck and had several hours of full sun. The room is a bit tired and could be significantly improved with a fresh coat of paint and new carpeting. The beach is very nice although small. It seems the resort only has a limited amount of space to place chairs for guests so it's very close quarters. Be aware of the nightly fees for parking a car at the resort AND the daily charge for the beach.

The property was well maintained, and the staff were very accommodating. We look forward to future visits.

Great stay.. Excellent communication with host..Overall we enjoed our stay...Highly recomended..

No problems at all

Loved our stay

The Marenas is an older building, but the staff were nice. The unit was disappointing and lacked comfort from the bed to the furnishings. Hardly worth the price. One of my rings went missing. The service in the restaurant was slow and the food was mediocre. The beach was beautiful. The pool very small.

Everything was very good
