Marriott's Villas at Doral

Can’t wait to go back! Rooms very good! Staff very good! Really good location, can use the trump hotel across the road also! Staff around the pool great and very engaging, all the staff really welcoming so would go back here in a heartbeat. Highly recommended

Husband and I were here to attend a wedding in Miami and to also visit an ailing family member a few hours away. It was a short trip with a lot of needs packed in. When we arrived we were checked in, but our room wasn't ready - And we were exhausted. We were checked in by a young adult who was nice enough, but clearly wasn't in tune with observing "social cues." But we were respectful and grabbed a bite to eat to pass the time. We were under the impression that our room would be ready shortly and that they were working on it. However, that was not the case. It seemed that it would still be several hours more until we could get into a room. Ultimately when my husband spoke up some time later, a more senior gentleman stepped in. His name was Desi. Desi was creative with getting us into a room immediately and followed up with a call to us a few hours later to make sure we were okay with the accommodations. That type of customer service only comes with experience and Desi had it. So a huge thank you to Desi who saved my sanity as I headed into a long weekend with mixed emotions. That said, we stayed in a 2 BR unit in bldg #7 instead of one by the pool, on the ground floor. Admittedly, although it was the last bldg, the walk to the pool area was much shorter than originally anticipated (about 30 seconds) as the property map was deceiving making it appear to be a much longer walk. It was quiet and the unit was large. Not many amenities on the property, which was fine, but the grounds were immaculate and we had a beautiful walk-out view to the water. I would definitely return to this property and want to again give a shoutout to Desi for going out of his way to make sure that we were happy with our stay.

Great hotel! Short visit with the family but absolutely lovely hotel. Great pool area with a fantastic hot tub and games for the kids. Good food and ice cream. Handy location with a beautiful lake setting. Super clean, modern rooms. Will definitely be back!

As my title says, this was a terrible experience. Pool heater broken, jacuzzi broken, elevator broken, water heater in room broken. To top it off, I had one of the service people (with a blue shirt) screaming at someone on the phone right outside my room at 8am, woke up the kids, and triggered the start of the day. This hotel needs some serious renovation. It is dated and even the lobby has a smell (like mold). Don't stay here!

The Marriott Villas at Doral is a pleasant resort with a truly wonderful staff who are personable and helpful at all times. There is a frequent shuttle service to local places such as the main supermarkets and down town. The resort is situated to the west of Miami airport and if you like planes as I do, you will enjoy one every 90 seconds or so on approach to land but this could be distracting to those who seek a quiet solitude. It depends on which runway they are using and they do change it from day to day. The freeway is also close and is noisy early in the morning. That said, it is a pleasant resort alongside the Trump national golf course which patrons are able to use. There is a decent pool outside reception with fitness classes from time to time. The resort seems to date and the apartment was in need of some upgrading and maintenance. To be fair, once reported the faulty items were quickly fixed, so perhaps its a case of earlier guests not bothering to report to the main desk. E.G. The lock bar on our patio door needed replacing and a number of the table lamps would not work when plugged in with the in situ charging units - not sure why as they worked when inserted on their own. We kept the excellent maintenance engineer, Nervis Morillo busy with our reported faults - why don't people let management know what is needed, they are not clairvoyants. We had housekeeping twice during our 5 night stay in December 2024 and this was effective, gracious and welcome. There were 3 good size TV's in the 2 bed apartment. The beds (One King and one Queen) were typically Marriott and very comfortable. The pillows were delightful. Both bedrooms were en-suite. The kitchen was fairly well equipped along with a decent laundry.
