Acqualina Resort & Spa on the Beach Review

Acqualina raises the bar on Miami beachfront luxury, delivering a fantasy of Mediterranean opulence, with oceanfront lawns and pools that evoke Vizcaya. Ferraris and Lamborghinis lining the driveway, three stylish swimming pools, a colossal ESPA spa, Miami's superlative Italian restaurant Il Mulino New York, and sumptuously appointed interiors fit for royalty round out the upscale atmosphere. Upon arrival, you're escorted to your room for a personal check-in. Accommodations are sinfully comfortable and undeniably lavish, with every conceivable frill. Even standard rooms facing away from the ocean seem grand; they have huge flat-screens that rise out of the foot of the bed, making recumbent TV-watching seem like a theater experience. The property is exceptionally children-friendly, with a fabulous kids' program and tons of activities on-site.

2010 Fodor's 100 Hotel Award Winner

Families will appreciate the many specialized kids' activities offered at this stylish resort. The fun and educational aquamarine program teaches kids about marine biology through a variety of beach and water activities, and the Kid's Night Out program, a supervised evening of dinner, games, and movies lets Mom and Dad hit the town.

    Acqualina Resort & Spa on the Beach Review

    We visited over a weekend in June. This hotel was amazing. One of the best vacations I've ever taken. My 3 year old daughter swam for hours every day in the beautiful pools. The customer service was top-notch from the concierge to the house keeping service. The only negative thing I can think of is that room service as well as parking at the hotel is very expensive here. We would definitely go back though.
