The Trump International Beach Resort is a beautiful hotel! The staff was friendly & very helpful. We arrived at the Hotel at 11am and although check in isn't until 4pm they allowed us to check in 5 hrs early. Overall, the the rooms are great we had the Ocean View Studio Room the views were great. Both pools were a good size. Just be aware when staying at the hotel to read the packet they give you upon check-in containing your room keys. Under your room keys they tell you that there is a charge of $15 per day to use the hotels facilities such as the gym, pool, spa, beach towels, beach chairs etc. you will be charged this regardless if you use their facilities or not. It also costs $24 a day to park your rental car on the property. All in all we had a great time in Miami & at the resort. Check out is at 11am & we asked for a late check-out & the staff provided us an additional 4 hours until 3pm. Had such a good time, I can wait to go back.

Well... Nice.. but not : " WOW!" - for that kind of money you can do better. Very "simple" rooms, not what you would expect. Kitchen without silverware or glasses - just empty cabinets and drawers. Nice location and views. Very nice pool area and beach but... Seriously overpriced. Great food but very expensive ( $18 per glass of red wine????? )

We have been staying 3 nights at the Trump Sonesta. We felt completely ripped-off! At a hotel in this category, service should be self-evident. At the Sonesta, it is just a trick to wheedle you out of money. An example: getting your car parked will cost you a scandalous $24. It will cost you an additional $2 tip to get your car back. If you don't tip, nobody will be friendly, nobody will help you.
For tourists wanting to visit the city, the location is a nightmare. It often took us more than an hour to go to south beach, f.e.! We (and even our young children) felt totally deveived.

Trump International is a very nice resort that ticks a lot of boxes.
Negatives:
Very expensive Internet access
18% Gratuity charge on everything, regardless of quality.
Slightly hard to cross the main road outside.
Valet was good but expensive at $24 per day

Positives:
Helpful, friendly staff throughout the hotel.
Great resort including lovely pool area and beach with easy access, free towels and umbrellas.
Nice food in on-site restaurant, including room service.
Big rooms and good facilities. Great bathrooms. Includes microwave and sink (bring own utensils however, inc bowls.)
Very relaxed bar with friendly service and quality entertainment.

Publix supermarket is just up the road as well as a small shopping area opposite. Aventura Mall is only over the bridge and is well worth a visit if the sales are on! It is a very long drive to South Beach. (Both can be visited by using the Hotels free bus). Italian next door is friendly but I wouldn't rush there.
Use Expedia to get very good discounts but once you're there it may possibly be worth thinking about saving a bit of money unless your bonus was off the radar...enjoy. If you are struggling to know where to go in Florida for a family break I would not really reccomend this area. We drove over to Marco Island which was excellent if you get a hotel or Condo on the beach.
