Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Miami Beach
For most travelers, Miami International Airport (MIA) is the practical, primary choice. As the only airport located in the city itself, it offers the fastest and cheapest access to Miami Beach via the dedicated express bus or a short taxi ride. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL) serves the neighboring city of Fort Lauderdale and is a popular alternative for domestic travelers seeking lower airfares; it offers a solid balance of transit options, including regional rail. For those heading to the Palm Beach region, Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) acts as a gateway to the north, though it requires a significantly longer journey to reach the coast of Miami Beach. The remaining options, Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) and Grand Bahama International Airport (FPO), are located in different cities or countries and are generally not recommended for direct access to Miami Beach unless you have specific travel requirements. When planning, prioritize your arrival airport based on your final destination and budget, remembering that traffic on major causeways can often impact travel times significantly.

The hotel is very close to the beach and Lincoln Road. You can see the sea by opening the window, and the room is quite large compared to New York.FromUS$130

Room clean but very small. Friendly service.
As people over 70, we did not feel at ease.
On the first day, there was a pool party at the swimming pool, and we didn't feel inclined to go to the pool. (Saturday)
On the day of departure, Sunday, we were able to use the pool after checking out. However, 80% of the sunbeds by the pool were reserved.
The music volume is between 80 and 118 decibels.
Around 10:30 PM, there was also a noise disturbance.
Something was done about this after a phone call.
In short: Nice place for young people, but they won't see me here again…FromUS$94

This hotel is expensive, but it's worth every penny. Be aware that the price you pay upfront isn't the final cost, as resort fees and service charges are added on top. Breakfast and even water are also incredibly pricey. However, both the hotel's interior and the rooms are truly beautiful and spotless, and the service is excellent. If you go, consider it an investment that's worth the high price. It's definitely not a budget-friendly hotel.FromUS$259

Superb facilities and location. Rooms exceptional and housekeeping staff great! A workforce (and teams) of two halves - some friendly and helpful, others rude and dismissive of guests - equally felt as if some staff were working harder than others and a lot of ‘standing around’ by the work shy crew members pretending to be busy doing very little. Could be an amazing experience if service (and staff training) was consistent.FromUS$488

Stayed for two nights room only. I really liked the design of the hotel, artwork and facilities. The pool area is really nice and they have their own sun beds on Miami Beach which are complementary for hotel guests. Hotel is about 1 street back from the beach but still a wonderful location.
The room was comfortable without being spectacular, everything worked and it was a decent size. Rooms are not as interestingly designed as the rest of the hotel.
All staff I talked to were very nice and helpful but at both checkin and checkout there were long lines to speak to someone. We waited over 20 mins to start the checkin process.
Overall I would be happy to stay at The Gates Hotel again.Family friendly

This was my third stay at Eden Roc, fantastic hotel – However, my third stay has shifted my thoughts. The bedsheets had a stain on them and my room was left open by housekeeping (thankfully nothing was taken, I guess no-one entered but this is a huge concern) – I was told to take this up with management and that I’d be offered compensation for a future stay (although when calling the front desk / eden roc number it says they’re not available and only connects you with off-site staff…) Very disappointed as the previous stays were fantastic.Very Good109 Reviews

A very beautiful, stylish hotel. The cleaning is excellent. The beach is beautiful. The service on the beach is amazing. The food at the bar was fantastic. We had a room with a city view, but unfortunately, it was a side view of the wall of the neighboring building, but that didn't ruin our stay. The hotel takes a $400 deposit, which is not stated anywhere, and it was returned upon check-out. We also had an unpleasant experience when drinks at the bar were charged to our room, but we had photos on our phone indicating the time when it happened, and we weren't at the hotel at the time. The hotel debited the amount without our knowledge, but after we contacted them, they refunded the money. I hope this is an occasional issue, but I can't lower my rating. The hotel is truly very good.FromUS$188

The glass door is poorly soundproofed, the outdoor bar is noisy until midnight, and the pool starts to be cleaned at 7am. How can you expect people to sleep well? I used the old faucet for two days, but I still couldn't tell which direction to turn to get hot water. The winding maze-like stairs made me go up and down the stairs the wrong way after two days. Recommended for people who are interested in archeology.FromUS$84

I can confidently give this dog-friendly hotel a well-deserved five-star rating, as our experience there was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted us warmly, and their friendliness and helpfulness were evident throughout our stay.
Our furry friend was treated like a VIP. The hotel’s commitment to being dog-friendly was remarkable, and our pet felt right at home from the start.
Beyond the pet-friendly aspect, the hotel itself was a true delight. The pool area offering a refreshing escape with nice music.
The rooms were consistently clean, and the pleasant scent that permeated the hotel created a welcoming and inviting atmosphere. It was evident that the staff took great care to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience for all guests.
As we returned for our third visit, our love for this place only grew stronger. If you’re seeking a dog-friendly haven where exceptional service, a beautiful ambiance, and pristine rooms converge, look no further. This hotel is an absolute gem that we can’t help but adore.128 Reviews

We also used the private beach! Please note that service to both the pool and beach ends at 5pm. It was great that there were refillable bottles in the room and water could be refilled anywhere in the hotel! It's more eco-friendly than plastic bottles. We upgraded to a spacious junior suite, which was a great choice! Our family of four had plenty of room to spare. The bathroom was spacious, with a separate shower and chair. The amenities also had a nice scent.
It was easily accessible from the airport, and we arrived in about 15 minutes by Uber for about 3,500 yen!
From our room, we could see the neighboring tower apartment building and the beach.FromUS$261

The room type should be the most expensive in the hotel. Check-in was delayed until 5:30 pm. The mattress of the king-size bed in the guest room collapsed in half. I complained to the hotel, but the mattress was not replaced in time. Later, I found that the sliding door lock on the first floor of the guest room could not be locked. It was not repaired that night. The lock was replaced the next morning. The coffee cup was not cleaned. You can clearly see the coffee stains on the cup. The round table in the living room was not wiped clean. The sticky stuff on it got on my computer and it was disgusting. Overall, I will not book this hotel next time. DisappointedFromUS$549

Honestly, the Ritz-Carlton rarely disappoints, and this stay perfectly met my expectations for a South Beach getaway. The breakfast was incredibly rich and varied, especially the fruit selection which was abundant and unique. My only minor regret was the absence of a salad option, which felt a bit odd for someone used to having vegetables for breakfast. While the staff kindly brought me some avocado and tomato, it still felt like I was missing out on some Vitamin C. I'm not sure if it's a Southern thing to treat fruit as a vegetable, but the lack of salad was a bit surprising. What truly delighted me was finding out that the lobby featured Krigler, a perfume brand Audrey Hepburn loved. As a big fan of hers, I didn't hesitate to purchase a bottle.FromUS$380
