"Rooms are Dirty but the pool is nice "

"We recently stayed at Fontainebleau Miami Beach for 2 nights and honestly left pretty underwhelmed, especially considering the price point and reputation. The property itself is beautiful and iconic, but the overall guest experience felt very transactional. Everywhere you turned there was another service charge, added fee, or overpriced convenience. It constantly felt like we were being nickel and dimed instead of enjoying a luxury stay. The valet situation was especially frustrating since valet is basically required. It was slow, disorganized, and stressful multiple times throughout our stay. For a hotel operating at this level, the process should run much smoother. Another disappointment was the room setup. The mini fridge is sensor-controlled for the minibar, so you really can’t use it for your own drinks or leftovers without risking charges. Such a small thing, but incredibly inconvenient when staying more than one night. What really stood out most was how quickly the customer service disappeared once we checked out. The exit process literally sends you out the back, and the hospitality vibe was basically over at that point. Overall, the hotel looks impressive in photos, but the experience did not match the cost. We expected luxury hospitality and instead felt like every interaction came with another fee attached."

"Worth the money."

"First of all, there was an awful smell, the floor was not leveled, no shower had no curtains so water flooded on the bathroom floor, bed was broken, decor was dated, house keeping went in my shoe and rearrange my jewelry, carpet was dirty in the hallway and the pool area was filthy. Expedia you should remove Catalina from your list"

"Entry to the hotel stinks. Was not able to get an early check in but was able to use the pool while we waited. The toilet in the room would not flush. The little piece was broken. Pool was fine, cool being up on the roof with a mini bar. Location is great, right behind mangos"

"Very small bathroom. No microwave. Room looked like I paid 50 dollars a night. Socket outlets was located in bad areas of the room so walk with extension cords. Light fixtures were horrible. The bathroom had a sharp edged metal stand for the soap and shampoo that cut my arm. I just wanted to be by the beach and restaurants so I made it work. I wont recommend. "
