Me and my boyfriend loved this hotel. Just got back from 2 weeks in the States, and we spent 4 nights in Miami at the Trump hotel. Check-in was smooth, room was fantastic, and staff very friendly. Best stocked mini-bar I've seen. Great beds, brilliant views from the 22nd floor.
Pools were beautiful. We sunbathed by the lower pool which had less kids. Beach was long and white sand with towels and beds supplied.
Breakfast was incredible. Even better that it was free. There was everything you could ask for and the waiters bring round fresh squeezed orange juice and coffee constantly.
We had a car and the only choice was to have valet parking which cost $25 a day, but of course you have to tip the men everytime you want your car which gets a bit annoying as we'd rather just park it ourselves. But that's what you get with 5*!!

Health spa looked great.

Location was brilliant. Very near the Aventura mall which was my idea of heaven! Bal Harbour shopping was also very near but they are all designer shops so make sure you have a 6 digit salary before even entering!
It was a 20min drive to South beach so if you want to be nearer, stay at one of the hotels there, as a cab there would cost you around $45

I just loved this hotel but staying at a 5* costs more than what you originally pay, so watch out.

Would stay here again.

My three girlfriends and I stayed here for 4 nights and were sorry to leave. This gorgeous hotel certainly lived up to our expectations of Trump luxury. Pool and beach were to die for....not that we were able to use these much theres so much to do in Miami we didnt want to waste time sunbathing. Free shuttle to all main places was great - if you get time make sure you ride the Thriller Speedboat from Bayside - its fab. All in all a brilliant stay. We left to travel to Las Vegas and the Bellagio lived up to all our dreams too. Will definitely return to both beautiful hotels.

We stayed at the Trump in Miami for a week after a week in Vegas for our honeymoon. We told them this before we arrived and we got a complimentary upgrade to a Junior Suite which was GREAT. You get a kitchen complete with, fridge/freezer, cooker, sink and dish washer. You also get a washing machine and dryer. Excellent so you don't have to drag so much washing home.

The view from our 21st floor room was amazing, from the balcony and bedroom you could see right onto the pool area and beach it was beautiful, and from the huge corner windows in the lounge you could see they City.

The service was great room cleaning was really good and plenty towels, although it did get irritating when you were having your tea and the second house keeping woman came to ask if you needed anything. Although very good service it is annoying! Also we had room service a few nights for tea and it was a very good price, but again you get someone knocking at your door 10 minutes after you start eating to check everything is ok!!

The supermarket across the road is great, the road is busy but there is a set of traffic lights about 150 meters away from the hotel, be warned they change back to red very quickly!!

Reception staff were lovely too.

The only let down was the $15 a day charge for pool, gym and beach access, this is charged even if you use these facilities or not. It is lovely by the pool and the smaller pool down the set of stairs is very quiet so nic and relaxing.

The Trump is a hotel that oozes class and charges accordingly. Everything is elegant, artsy and immaculate. The lobby is gorgeous, the hallways feature original art, the rooms are beautifully appointed with luxury baths. We got an upgrade to a junior suite, with sink, mini fridge and microwave. A free buffet breakfast with free NY Times and WSJ was spectacular, with beautiful fresh fruit, homemade smoked salmon and exotic teas in addition to the usual breakfast food stations. A soup to nuts gym provided free bottled water and lacked for nothing in the way of equipment. There is also a pricey spa and a couple of "nothing special" shops. The service staff have evidently been instructed to always greet the guests and ask how they are doing. Nobody likes surly staff, but the other extreme can also get annoying really fast. Internet access is an additional $10/day, which is really a ripoff at these rates. We had a great big TV in the room but the remote only worked sporadically and the selection of channels was just pitiful, with no movie channels (movies were extra, of course). The pool staff was very helpful, but the pools themselves were just ok. The pool bar and snack bar (also outrageously priced) did a brisk business. One of the hot tubs didn't work and the beach level was down two flights of stairs. Clientele was mostly business people (there were several conferences on site) and some chic younger people, including a lot of Europeans, some with small children. Although the Trump Sonesta is a very attractive and well run hotel, with some nice amenities, we felt it was a mite pretentious and just not a good value.
