Lots of amenities at this hotel. Big, beautiful pool with fancy cabanas available. Super clean and relaxing lazy river. Lovely lobby bar and public areas.

However, the little things really matter to me and a few of those prevent me from giving this property the highest rating.

When we checked in to our deluxe room (slightly more square footage than standard king room) our key cards wouldn't work. Walked back to the elevator to use the house phone and call the operator and were told someone would be right up. By the time we walked back to room, key cards were working so we went in to unpack. About five minutes later, a security person pushed open our door and asked, "Why is your door open?" It wasn't open but the doors don't swing closed hard enough to fully latch. I was kind of puzzled about why he would just walk in without knocking. He then explained that it takes about 10 minutes for the key cards to start working after one checks in. Well, it would have been nice to hear that from the front desk.

Also, there was a housekeeping vacuum cleaner and a small bag of trash next to the room door from the time we checked in until we left the next day. Not a huge deal but it was just ugly and for $500 a night, I would prefer not to see ugly next to my room.

The room was spacious and the bath was very nice. The bed was quite comfortable. There was a ceiling fan with a remote control but the remote did not turn off the fan or change the speed as the controls indicated. Pulling the chain on the fan didn't make any difference either. The fan could not be turned off which bothered me as I don't care for the constant breeze when I am sleeping. Again, not a huge deal but just another little detail the "great" hotels don't overlook.

There was a clock/radio next to the bed with an IPod dock which is a nice feature but for some reason, it picked up interference and would emit a very loud cracking sound a couple times an hour. We had to unplug it to eliminate the noise and then you can't use the dock.

The golf pro shop is advertised as being really nice and well stocked. It was underwhelming. Absolutely NOTHING special.

On the plus side, the food from room service was very tasty and prompt and the spa services and setting were also very nice.

Having said everything, we would return to the property if we were returning to the Miami area but I still can't rank the property with the best.

Really pretty special hotel with a great swimming pool and spa. ONLY drawback was the cost of everything. $35 for a Mojito, I mean come on

My wife and I spent almost 3 weeks at this hotel and enjoyed every minute. The hotel is lovely and the staff are very helpful and polite. It was so good, that it was difficult to leave the hotel to go exploring. My wife managed this quite well by developing tours of the Aventura shopping mall. This is very close to the hotel and they run a free shuttle bus

We stayed in a deluxe room overlooking the resort. The room was spacious and well presented.

There are two pools. The original pool is certainly for the older folk with no kids. It is usually quiet and there are plently of loungers, a bar and the option for food to the poolside. There is also a livelier pool complex which has cabanas (at a charge) plus water slides for the young - and not so young. There is also a grill there so you can spend the entire day there quite easily.

Restaurants are great. The Bourbon Steak House is very good and the steaks have to be seen and eaten to be believed. Breakfast buffet in the Cassata Grill is excellent and there are a variety of items available that will suit all ages.

As with all smart hotels in Miami, there is a charge for valet parking (currently $30 per day). That being said, the service is very good with a phone ahead facility that ensures your wheels are there as you depart the building.

I would recommend this hotel for all ages.

I just got back to The Turnberry Isle. I will say that it's a 5 Star Hotel and one of the nicest I have stayed at. I am a travel agent and have an opportunity to travel quite often and very economical. I personally wouldn't be writing this review if I didn't get a good deal because I could have never afforded to stay there.... with that being said....

I have never stayed at a Fairmont and was very impressed. It was more relaxed than a Ritz Carlton, but the service was just as nice. The valet was very expensive ($30.00) but I knew that before going to the hotel. The Resort Fee is $12.00 per person. the bellman brought our bags to the room and when I tried tipping him, he said it's part of the Resort Fee. An employee would come to the room each night to offer ice and bottled water (free of charge) which is something I have never gotten unless I was staying in the Concierge.

I ate breakfast every morning because the buffet was included. Otherwise, the bill was $70.00 for two people. I ordered a glass of wine for $15.00 (house... by the way) and thought that was a little much. We only ate breakfast there and went out for dinner. There is too much to do outside of the hotel.

The hotel has a free shuttle to the mall which has plenty of restaurants and we were also given a ride to Chili's to eat dinner in their sedan. I'm sure there near by restaurants they will take you to. The pools are amazing and fantastic for children. They also have a kids club, but I didn't travel with my daughter, so I can't give feedback about the club. I actually didn't see any children at the hotel with an exception of a birthday party which was no interruption at all. I never went to the gym, but should have. I never actually saw the beach, but went to the beach club to pick someone on the shuttle up while finishing at the mall and it looked very nice.

It's a beautiful hotel, but please don't go there on a budget. Life wouldn't be good. I will recommend it to any client who has the money to spend and I will definitely go back. Again....... I have stayed at plenty of hotels and love this the most!!!!!! I have no complaints!
