4 Star Hotels in Miami, FL

Review: We stayed at The James hotel in Chicago numerous times. Planning a trip to MIA, it was an obvious choice to stay at the James Royal Palm. From the moment we were met at valet, a focus on service was evident. Our party consisted of 5 adults and 2 children under 4y/o. We had slight hesitation staying in an upscale hotel with sometimes unpredictable children. The concierge, pool and beach staff, and servers could not be more accommodating with the children. Whether we were lounging in the pool, or eating at the Cookery, the staff provided fantastic service. The Cookery: fantastic. This is a must. If you stay at the James Royal Palm, you should have at least one meal at the Cookery. Rooms: beautiful, clean, high-end amenities. Odds are, if you are staying at the James Royal Palm, you will not be spending the majority time much time in the rooms. However, the time that you are in the room, will be more than comfortable. Overall: FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE!

This hotel was amazing.  The staff was AMAZING.  They gave me an upgraded room which I really was surprised about.  Usually, when you book on the discount site, they aren't as amenable, but this hotel was AMAZING.  They treated me like a five star customer.  I will definitely be back!!!!!!!

My first impression of the hotel was great! They greeted us very warmly and immediately escorted us to our room to sign in (nice touch!). We also got a mini welcome cocktail. The room (a manor villa) was beautiful and beautifully appointed (with a live orchid in the living room!). While the staff are all incredibly warm and friendly, not all of them are very efficient. I had to call the hotel three times before arriving to get restaurant reservations made, each time being told that it would ABSOLUTELY get done (but the restaurants recommended were excellent) and in the end, we had reservations at two different places for the same night, which I had to straighten out. We ordered room service one morning and then never again. Not that there was anything wrong with the food. No one ever picked the tray up. I even called to request tray pick-up - twice. Instead it sat outside our room and the milk soured. Service in the restaurant was great and the food is fabulous. The cocktails are inventive and delicious and the wine list is reasonable and well-edited. The interior of the hotel is also beautiful. The weirdest part of the stay was maid service. We prefer to save water and not have the linens and towels changes during short stays. Despite this, the maid removed the washcloths from one bathroom and didn't replace them (no harm, we just took them out of the OTHER full bath) and for some reason, the top sheet was removed from the bed and not replaced. This happened on our last full day and we didn't notice until we got in bed, so we didn't bother to complain. Overall, a good start, but still needs some work to come up to snuff.

Very nice clean hotel with modern decor,family friendly,beautiful beach,nice and friendly staff.Downfall no nearby shops need to go in town for everything.Taxi can become very expensive.

I had a great stay at the hotel, however my experience with the club LIV was not so great, someone stole my Iphone 5, literally took it out of my bag, and when i walked up to the police officer I was informed this happens at least twice every night. This is was very disappointing that the venue doesn't do anything about such things happening. 

The Surfcomber is a great boutique hotel! From the valet guys to the front desk attendants- everyone was incredibly friendly and polite! The room was clean and spacious. The bathroom was...well...beautiful!  The only downside was that you can hear everything that goes on in the hallway. Not a nice way to wake up, but it's something I would overlook. I would definitely have another stay-cation here again! 

Loved this place! The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was beautiful and the food was great. I cannot wait to return. The $25/day resort fee does cover free internet, 2 bottles of water/day and 2 glasses of beer/wine during your stay. Food and parking is expensive but it won't keep me from returning. Only disappointment was my manicure at the Elle Salon only lasted 1 day. 1500 Degrees restaurant was fabulous!

It was so dark you couldn't help but think you were in a DREAM! Lol! No seriously, even tho I we could've used a little more light at certain times, the dim atmosphere kept us in a romantic mood the entire time we were there! And even tho I didn't care to partake, the complimentary champagne offer upon our arrival was the nicest of any hotel I have ever stayed in. And valet? We never had to wait on our vehicle. The staff was amazingly friendly and helpful. The dream was perfect. We will definitely be back! Thanks so much!

The hotel was very nice and elegant. The services were on point. Only two issues were that there should be a bar near the roof top pool and the breakfast should have more of a variety.
