Well my family and made reservation to The Blue back in March, a while ago which a very nice reservation agent advised us that the hotels opening will be in April. Well we decided to book it anyways and was very excited to arrive.

Well as soon as we got there there was no security on site which said on there website that there was, so we went into the lobby of the hotel which our surprise wasn't opened yet.
A construction man told us where to go. Which was a trailer far from the hotel.

No one knew that we had arrived so they had to scramble to assist us. It took them 20 minutes to get us checked in due to the fact that they were having problems with their server.

There were several men off to an office who were very loud and annoying and just made our checking in processes even more frustrating.
I asked the girl at the front desk if I can have some water and they had none to offer. What hotel has no water to offer their guest.

Well we finally got to our room. That I have to say the rooms are very nice and very clean but at the same time very boring. There are no pictures on the walls, flowers or any decor for that matter. The bathrooms being very clean and nice as well had no decor which made it very boring.

We couldn't turn on the tv due to the fact the there was no power. we tried to called the front desk to find out out that the phones were not working. The beds our very comfy but you will be awakened by the traffic from the street.

As the day went on we were so hungry that we decided to go to the bar and grill as advertise on their website to of course see they didn't have one yet. So now no phone no power and no food you can imagine how our first day was at "THE BLUE" which they call a 'RESORT" this is not a resorrt and will never be a resort, you can't even play at The Blue Monster. You have to go into the Marriott's hotel to go play golf. THE BLUE has NO ACCESS to any golf what so ever and they have no shuttle to get into the golf course. You have to drive yourself there.

People please save your money and go to the Marriott were we had to go and have dinner, the following day breakfast and lunch since "THE BLUE" isn't anything as what is advertise on their website. We had a great time at the Marriott.

Oh I forgot to mention the pool. Who wants to go to a pool where you have construction men staring at you. We had to once again go to the Marriott.

SAVE YOUR MONEY

I stayed there last week during their soft opening. Rooms were tastefully done and spacious, staff very attentive, and great view of Blue Moster golf course. A few kinks need to be worked out such as wireless internet, kitchen related items, ... But can't beat the location if all you want is to play golf at Doral. Much better than Doral resort next door.

We were visiting Miami on March 28th and 29th. All reputable hotels under $320pn were booked so we took a gamble on the Blue as they offered a reasonable rate due to their 'soft' opening.

I need to point out the following before I write my review. The hotel is not officially open yet so there is no fancy reception, hustle and bustle or shuttle bus. The restaurant and gym facilities are not open yet either so I cannot review them.

A taxi ride from the airport is about $25 each way. Most drivers don't know the blue so write down the address.

The reception is based at a temporary location by the main gate. The apartments are quite close to a large street and not set back into the resort like the Marriott next door. We were starting to get a little anxious about how the room would be... to our surprise, I have to say that this is one of the nicest hotel rooms I've ever stayed in!

Once you get inside your room you forget about the disappointing frontal view as the balcony overlooks the golf course. Gorgeous! The room itself was inspiring. The bathroom had twin sinks, jacuzzi bathtub, television and a separate shower. There was also a kitchenette and a living/dining area. The main television was huge and the digital appliances were an added bonus. The most important thing was the bed. We had two nights of blissful sleep as the bed was extremely comfortable.

Once this hotel is fully open, visitors will have a pleasant experience here if using it as a base and all you want is a room. Unfortunately for us we had a few problems with check out (software payment issues) which took 25 minutes to resolve. This would not put us off coming here again.
