Provider-sourced guest reviews.
We had a wonderful stay at Acqualina Resort. The entire property is beautifully maintained, with an exceptional level of cleanliness and attention to detail throughout. The food was consistently excellent, with high-quality ingredients, great presentation and very good service especially from Conrad and Richard but all the staff was amazing. A special mention goes to the beach team, who were absolutely fantastic especially Caleb and Francesco. Always attentive, friendly, professional and ready to help, they really made our time at the beach even more enjoyable. Their level of service reflects exactly what you expect from a resort of this caliber. Acqualina combines beautiful surroundings, excellent food, impeccable cleanliness and genuinely attentive service. A wonderful experience and definitely a place we would be very happy to return to.
Excelente hotel.
Ruined valentines - missold a ‘champagne package’ arrived and I as told didn’t have the package. Was sat away from any music/entertainment , every time wanted service (drink, food etc) had to go off on search for staff. Ended up walking out. Concierge kept saying would make good but was offered non transferable pool/beach day which is not so useful given live in building on the beach. After having told me would refund for the additional cost of ‘champagne’ package they insisted I hadn’t ordered but charged me for, they did not. Spent 6 months being mostly ignored by Christian the concierge.
We are locals and decided to do a staycation to celebrate our wedding anniversary at Aqualina . Wow, was it the right decision!!! Yes, the resort is beautiful , the room was so perfect , the beach was beautiful. But by far, the staff was truly what made our trip so incredible . Everywhere we went people made efforts to welcome us, get to know us and to celebrate our anniversary with us. We felt so pampered and taken care of, in a manner that felt genuine and warm. We were left feeling so grateful and so sorry to leave ….but equally eager to go back as soon as possible . Do not hesitate to stay here; of the local places I have reviewed, this is my new favorite ! Thank you to the staff for all your kindness .
★★★★★ We had an amazing family stay at Acqualina. The service, atmosphere, and beach experience were exceptional. Evan, Alex, and Renzo were incredibly helpful every day at the beach and made our time there even more enjoyable. We can’t wait to return!
Evan the beach attendant was extremely helpful to me and my family. Becuase of him we will be returning to the acqualina for winter break. He helped get us towels, umbrellas, cushions, and extra chairs. Thank you Evan thank you Axqualina.
The suites were spacious and beautiful. The grounds, pools and restaurants were pristine. The beach was amazing.
the experience at the aqua lina was amazing what made it even more memorable was the young man EVAN who everyday went out of his way to make sure everything was perfect
We absolutely love Acqualina! The resort is amazing and the staff is so attentive. This is our 3rd trip here and it’s been amazing every time! Alec our beach attendant was exceptional! He is so friendly and hard worker! Top notch h service!
Todo!!!!
We simply love the Acqualina! We have stayed here for so many years, even my grown kids call it home. It is perfection. It is immaculate, constantly being updated, beautiful, incredibly friendly, and the best hotel period. And we have stayed in top hotels and resorts around the world. What makes the Acqualina so special is its staff. Their warmth is real. Special shout outs to Mike at security, Valeria at the couches, Andrez, Kevin, Brandon, and of course Ion! You make this hotel a home. You are why we keep coming back year after year. Thank you once again for making my husband’s birthday weekend so very special.
Best service on the beach in Miami Thanks Mike and Jayden
Max and jerick at the beach need nothing but applause the service that me and my family received was on absolutely on par with the top resorts I’ve been too and when it comes to the states this is the best resort I have been too Giancarlo and Brandon the tall gentleman exude absolutely professionalism as managers as well !
I recently had the pleasure of spending time at the beach at Acqualina Resort, and I have to give a huge shoutout to beach attendants Jerick and Max. From the moment we arrived, they greeted us warmly and made sure we had everything we needed.
My stay here was impeccable, the amazing facilities and rooms aside, I would like to point out the generous hospitality of 2 workers by the name of Jerick and Max. I don’t think I would’ve enjoyed my stay nearly as much without the help of these 2 kind young men, they helped me with everything I needed in a hasty manner and seemed more than happy to do so, 10/10 would come back again.
I loved the location so much. I went with my family over break, It was absolutely stunning and a great breath of fresh air way from regular life. Jerick and Max were our beach assistants and they were nothing short of amazing. I definitely would recommend going here again.
Huge shoutout to Max and Jerick for going above and beyond during our time at the beach. They were incredibly accommodating
Jerick and Max were outstanding beach attendants during our stay at the resort. They were always friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our time by the water.
Max and Jerry made my experience absolutely amazing me and my family couldn’t ask for better. They provided us with five star service.
Very disappointing post-stay experience. I was charged a half-day late checkout fee even though I was not in the room. I was at the spa, and when I tried to return my key had already been deactivated. More concerning, I’ve emailed twice over 24+ hours requesting my folio and a review of the charge and received no response. For a hotel at this level, both the billing and lack of follow-up are unacceptable.
Jerick was awesome and very attentive. Provided excellent service on the beach
Max was absolutely brilliant today on the beach he helped me and my family he was amazing I can’t believe how great he was
Had a great time at Acqualina, Yana at the pool area is an amazing girl and helped so much with all my needs! Deff recommend staying here and coming !
Our day at Acqualina was made perfect thanks to Jerick. From the moment we arrived at the beach, he was attentive, professional, and seemingly always one step ahead of our needs. He brings a level of genuine hospitality that is hard to find
Jerick and Max at Acqualina set the standard for what beach service should be. Both were consistently attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming without ever being intrusive. They anticipated needs before we even had to ask whether it was refreshing towels, adjusting the setup, or making sure everything was perfectly arranged.
Jerick and max provide the absolute best service IN THE US my goodness the attentiveness the detail everything was on par absolutely incredibly on point gentleman
Jerick and Max both made the experience memorable in their own ways. Jerick was incredibly welcoming and made sure everything ran smoothly from the beginning, always staying attentive and positive. Max, on the beach side, brought the same energy—he was efficient, friendly, and made sure we were fully taken care of without us having to ask. Together, they created a really relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. Their effort and attitude definitely didn’t go unnoticed.
Zack and Jerick was Fanastic they made my trip memorable!
Jerick and Zach, the beach attendants at Acqualina Resort, provided an exceptional experience that truly elevated our stay. From the moment we arrived at the beach, they were attentive, friendly, and incredibly professional. They made sure everything was perfectly set up, from chairs and umbrellas to towels, and consistently checked in to ensure we were comfortable without ever being intrusive. What really stood out was their positive attitude and willingness to go above and beyond. Whether it was quickly accommodating requests or offering helpful suggestions, Jerick and Zach made us feel genuinely cared for. Their energy and dedication created a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere that made our beach day unforgettable. It’s rare to come across service this thoughtful and seamless. Jerick and Zach are a big part of what makes the Acqualina experience so special, and we truly appreciated everything they did for us.
Jerick and Zack did amazing job! Took good care of me and my family.
Our time at the beach was made so much better thanks to Jerick and Zach. They were both incredibly efficient and seemed to anticipate what we needed before we even had to ask. Everything ran smoothly chairs were always perfectly arranged, towels were refreshed without delay, and they handled every detail with care.
It was amazing Jayden and Jerick would help with anything I needed. Great attendants!!!!
It's been a bit since I wrote about the amazing Aqualina. We love it here and it's time to shout out our favorite folks. Let me first start with recognizing Gary- South Tower Security. He greets us with love and a smile that warms your heart. He sees our family as his family. Mike and Pashyn- security out by the pools- greet us with joy and genuine interest. Nayance at the adult pool- is hard working and looks out for us to have all the best amenities and all that we need to be comfortable. The beach attendants- Gabby, Kevin (welcome back), Sarah, Isaiah, Brendan, Dickenson, and of course the leaders Brandon and JonCarlo create a beach experience that is unforgettable. Their hustle and dedication to meeting guests' needs shine through in their hard work and smiling faces. Aris, Jorge, Ricardo, Monica, Melissa, Kate, Dylan, Valeria....YOU all are family to us, and you treat our guests and family as such as well. Knowing that you all will be there for us allows us to relax and enjoy this beautiful resort. Daved, Jose, and Carlos, the food runners, present us with the food with smiles and attentiveness. Their warmth is appreciated. Having Nicole at the bar is an added perk. She greets with such a welcoming attitude- so happy you joined the team. Finally, Richert and Pedro go above and beyond to welcome us as family and make EVERY visit special. We have missed some folks here but we will catch you next time. This is a 5 star resort for a reason. Thanks to all who make our time here feel like home away from home.
max and jerick were absolutely fabulous on the beach the hotel was great service 10/10 if your ever in south florida come to the acqualina!!!!
Max and Jerick on the beach are the best attendants in the world. Absolute great service the hotel is fantastic gianfranco the manager was a great help I would recommend this place 100x over
The Acqualina is my favorite place to visit. No place like it! Gabriela is the BEST. Works so hard, so kind, so thoughtful, and very consistent. I’m soooo happy she’s here. Valeria is so amazing; she made me feel so consistently looked out for. Got to know us and always made a point to make contact and make sure we had everything we need. Mike at security makes me smile every day - soooo kind. He is truly one of a kind. Gary at the South Tower Security is the most wonderful, so incredibly generous and kind. Heart of gold. Aris is the very best server - always looks out for us, speedy, and so lovely. Always on his game. Jorge at the restaurant is awesome - what a JOY! He takes amazing care of us. Sarah is a new favorite — took great care of us while we were at the restaurant couches, so attentive. She deserves to be recognized. Jose is the best food runner - the most gentle spirit. He’s a bright light. So reliable and so consistent. Conrad is my favorite always. Year after year, he’s the very best. And Richert and Pedro at Ke-uh are truly like family — few people as special as them on the planet!!!! Endlessly kind and the hardest workers. There are soooooo many wonderful people, but these are the ones who will keep my coming back year after year!
i had the pleasure to spend 3 wonderful nights at this property in late February for a solo birthday celebration to relax in the sun. The staff at this hotel are attentive, genuinely gracious, and embody true luxury service. The spa is fantastic with the cold plunge and wet and dry sauna. They also have a relaxation room which was a treat. The breakfast outside by the fountain each morning was delicious. Highly recommend Acqualina Resort for all types of travelers.
5 star is an understatement. The service is absolutely first class and so personal. There are so many staff that I want to recognize. Aris, our server by the pool was very attentive, kind and social. Equally Nayenci was the sweetest hardest working chair/toweling/watering all the biggest genuine smile. There are others but those are who stood out to me at our days poolside. Food was excellent at all 3 restaurants. Breakfast buffet very good one day but we opted for à la carte other mornings and it was excellent. We splurged for an ocean front suite. Wow what a treat. We'll be back Aqualina, see ya next year! P.S. A trained falcon helped keep the birds away. It was quite impressive.
Iurri was great service by the ocean, and really made the trip awesome! Everything was top notch here!
This was our 4th visit to Acqualina and it never disappoints. The accommodations, restaurants, pools and service are consistently excellent. Nayenci at the pool is so accommodating. If you are considering this hotel do not hesitate to book it now!!
Great all inclusive with the best beach I have ever seen. Snorkeling a 20 minute walk down the beach was amazing. Catamaran trip to barrier reef with ocean vibes was incredible. Shout out for great service and fun on the catamaran to Ross, Erickson and the Captain
Stayed five nights. Five star experience and service. A shout out to Malakai and Jaden who took care of all our needs at the great beach. We will definitely be back.
Gianfranco and Adrian were the best workers there they were very helpful and the good tastes very good and very nice and yea that is it
Gianfranco and brandon are the best supervisors they helped me alot i recommend it here the best serivce ever. The food at costa grill tastes amazing!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Acqualina Resort is pure luxury from start to finish. From the moment you arrive, every detail is handled with care, warmth, and true five-star service. The property itself is stunning—immaculate grounds, breathtaking ocean views, and an atmosphere that feels both elegant and welcoming. The pool and beach experience deserves special recognition, thanks to Brandon, the Pool and Beach Director. His leadership truly shows in the exceptional service, attention to detail, and overall experience. The staff is attentive without being intrusive, everything runs seamlessly, and you genuinely feel taken care of especially by Rohan and Alize. Brandon clearly sets the standard for excellence, and it makes a noticeable difference. The rooms are spacious, spotless, and beautifully designed, the dining options are top-tier, and the entire resort feels calm, exclusive, and refined. Acqualina consistently goes above and beyond to make your stay unforgettable. If you’re looking for a luxury beachfront resort with outstanding service and people who truly care about your experience, Acqualina is unmatched. We can’t wait to return!
Alize and Rojan were amazing. We had a great experience. They went out of our way and we had the best time. We will definitely be back! Thank you!!
Alize and Rohan, were the best! We had the most amazing time and we will be back be because of them!! 50th Birthday party! Highly recommend anyone coming to Aqualina and asking for these two!
Alize’ she was truly fantastic she helped me with everything I needed. Her personality is just truly fantastic the definition of true hospitality.

Alizè delivered truly outstanding service on the beach at Acqualina Resort & Residences. From the moment we arrived, she went above and beyond to make our experience effortless and special. She was incredibly attentive, proactive, and thoughtful—anticipating our needs before we even had to ask. What stood out most was how wonderful she was with our children. She was patient, kind, and engaging, which made a huge difference for our family and allowed us to actually relax and enjoy our time. Every detail was handled seamlessly, and her warmth and professionalism elevated our entire beach experience. Alizè is a true asset to Acqualina. Service like hers is the reason guests return. We cannot thank her enough and hope to see her again on our next visit.
10/10 experience. The staff, accommodations, food/bev, and amenities are truly luxurious. Location is perfect if you’re looking for a quiet oasis in Miami. Alizè and her team at the beach are absolutely wonderful!
Beach was amazing, Matthew was super attentive and provided me with everything my family and I needed Brandon and Gianmarco were great too!
Watching Islam vs. JDM was one of those fights where every second mattered, especially as a fan of Islam who understands what was at stake. This matchup wasn’t about hype or theatrics—it was about control, discipline, and proving once again who operates at the highest level. JDM came in confident and dangerous, but from the opening exchanges it was clear that Islam was prepared for every look he brought. What stood out immediately was Islam’s composure. He never rushed, never chased moments that weren’t there. Instead, he imposed his pace and forced JDM to fight in uncomfortable positions. Each round felt like a gradual tightening of the grip—pressure without panic, dominance without recklessness. You could see JDM trying to adjust, trying to find openings, but Islam was always a step ahead, shutting down options before they fully developed. As the fight went on, it stopped feeling competitive and started feeling inevitable. Islam’s timing, positioning, and transitions were flawless. He wasn’t just winning exchanges; he was breaking rhythm and confidence. There’s a point in fights like this where, as a fan, the nerves disappear and you’re left with pure appreciation. This was a masterclass in control—no wasted movement, no emotional decisions, just calculated dominance from start to finish. The ending brought a deep sense of satisfaction rather than chaos. It was the kind of performance that reinforces belief—the kind that reminds you why Islam is trusted in these moments. After it was over, I found myself replaying key sequences in my head: the setups, the adjustments, the moments where the fight permanently tilted in his favor. This wasn’t just a win; it was a statement. I watched the fight from the private balcony of my oceanfront room at Acqualina, streaming it on my tablet. The quiet, the open air, and the sound of the waves below created the perfect environment to fully absorb the moment without distraction. The hotel didn’t compete with the experience—it simply gave it space. That combination of a defining performance and complete focus is what made the night unforgettable.
Alize’, Brendan, Marc, Jerek and Valentino helped us a lot on our trip. I saw them run a lot and it made me feel very secure that I knew help was on the way. Anytime I needed help with my umbrella they were there. My towel got sandy quickly, and it was like they knew and came immediately. I highly recommend coming here, it has been an experience like no other and it is all thanks to the help.
Richard and Valentino were incredible two wonderful kids who assisted us with great care. Always smiling excellent service. Definitely ask for them when you come to Acqualina
Amazing resort, amazing staff, Richard and Valentino in the beach and pool were amazing. Aqualina is excellent, the best!

Max and Adrian were absolutely amazing they have the best service on the beach and I couldn’t have asked for anything better from them. They gave me everything I asked for.
This stay was excellent for me and my family. We loved the beachfront service with Gian Franco, one of our favorite Aqualina beach supervisors. He was able to help us and our kids enjoy our stay whether it was getting lounge chairs, amazing food at the beach, and any other requests!
Every minute of this trip was incredible. The attention to detail is next level in every regard. From the moment you step on property you become the staffs most valued guest! Every need, before you even know it’s a need, is met with exceptional attention and care. Malakai, Anthony and all the beach staff (I wish I remembered all the names) worked above and beyond to provide unmatched service to each guest. We keep shaking our heads at the unbelievable service!! We cannot wait to return!

Both my husband and I run large wealth management teams, so we understand how essential exceptional service is—and Acqualina consistently delivers at a level that truly stands out. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting with my Florida clients at Acqualina Resort again this week, and the experience has been exceptional as always. The team consistently delivers true five-star service—attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. The resort itself is stunning, offering an atmosphere that elevates both productivity and relaxation. It’s always a privilege to conduct business in a setting that reflects the standards I strive to uphold with my clients. A special thank-you to the incredible staff who made this stay outstanding: • Rosa in concierge, who is always amazing—and truly feels like the sister you always wanted. • Karen and Julian at the front desk, whose authenticity sets the tone the moment you arrive. • Ion and Gianfranco, both exceptionally professional and so kind to my family. • Claudia, Caroline, and Gede at breakfast, along with the entire morning team, who are consistently warm, sweet, and attentive. • Alejandra, whom I haven’t had the chance to meet yet, but who was truly wonderful in helping my entire family with reservations. • Alisa, who came through on my request—I’m extremely thankful! Grateful for another seamless and memorable stay at such an extraordinary property.
I stayed with my mom at Acqualina Resort & Residences for 3 nights and had a wonderful time! Everyone from the team was super friendly and always ready to help with anything we might need. We had an oceanfront suite which was very spacious with all the necessary amenities and the most incredible views of the beach. We also had daily breakfast at the property which was diverse and tasty. As for dining, we tried Il Mulino NY and also Ke-uH restaurants which were both very good. For an even more relaxing experience, we highly recommend going to their spa, which has beautiful outdoor and indoor areas and the massages we did were phenomenal. Thank you Acqualina for making our stay so memorable!
Alize, Matthew, Gabby, and Jerick are the dream team! They make it possible and hook it up. Made our Sunday much more enjoyable. Thank you!
Margaret and Alize made our experience at the pool, and the hotel in general, absolutely wonderful. Above and beyond guest service and care. Thank you girls!!!
We have been staying in the Acqualina for many years, since my now adult kids were small children. There is a reason we keep coming back time after time. It is phenomenal in every way. This hotel is incredibly warm, highly professional, and absolutely genuine. There is nothing they will not do for you to make your stay special or to simply put a smile on your face. The building and its grounds are immaculate. Rooms and public spaces have been recently updated and are elegant, spacious, and refined. I never want to leave when I’m there! Special shout outs go to Valentina who is such a hard worker, always with a smile on her face, Gianfranco as always, Mike at security who is amazing and such a positive person, Francisco at Reservations, Julien, Andrez at breakfast m, and Ion of course as you always make us smile! The Acqualina is our favorite hotel, and we have stayed at many five star hotels around the world. It’s a very special place filled with very special people. Thank you once again for a wonderful stay!
Richard was great! Provided such good service and made our beach experience very enjoyable and special! I would definitely recommend this resort the staff makes all the difference.
Amazing experience. We sat by the pool with our family. Margaret was amazing and provided wonderful service. She was extremely attentive and came many times to offer us water and new towels. She was very friendly and nice.
My mother, brother and I stayed at the Acqualina in early October and it was simply the best resort we have ever stayed at. During our 4 night stay, we all agreed that while the resort itself was stunning, from the beautiful room facing the ocean and the most convenient beach access and daybed setups and the well equipped gym, it was really the staff that made all the difference. The level of service, kindness and thoughtfulness that the staff showed were top notch. We were greeted by our names often, and always with a smile. While the entire staff was amazing, there were a few that really went above and beyond to connect and be kind to our family. Alize, who managed the beach front, showed a level of compassion and care to my mother that epitomized exemplary hospitality, providing a thoughtful gift to my mother to remember our time there. The family picture she took of us, and printed and provided in a frame, moved my mother and brought her such joy. The framed photo stayed perched on my mother’s nightstand for the remainder of our stay, and no doubt front and center on her desk at home now. And Nahuel from the valet staff, who was so friendly and kind, also shared a gift with us as well, a bottle of wine, which we enjoyed as a family and opened up a whole evening of stories. And Siva from the dining staff, who greeted us with warmth at breakfast everyday, attentively checking in on our needs. And for whoever else I did not get to name specifically, everyone was so kind and thoughtful. We were all very touched by everyone’s consideration during our stay. (The only minor item I would suggest as an improvement to the resort is to add wall hooks into the bathrooms, so that we could hang towels or clothes. A few of those across the wall would have made that stunning bathroom even more functional!) Thank you again to everyone at the Acqualina resort for such a memorable time, we look forward to visiting again one day!
The beach staff is very attentive and prompt. They're often running to set up lounge chairs. Upon our arrival, Ivan, Aris, and Jorge made us feel more welcomed than anywhere else that we have ever visited. Conrad, Gianfranco, Nicolas and Malakai went beyond accommodating our need to be in the sun:) Acqualina will definitely be our go-to weekend spot from here on.
