Acqualina Resort Celebrates an Exciting Milestone

Rising from the powdery sands, the biscotti-colored Acqualina Resort has been overlooking the expansive turquoise sea for decades. As it gracefully enters its 20th year, the Sunny Isles Beach grande dame has much to celebrate, including the collection of esteemed hospitality awards it has garnered, like the Forbes Five Stars and AAA’s Five Diamond ranking.

  • Forbes Five Stars: Acqualina Resort has been recognized as one of the top-rated hotels in the world by Forbes magazine, a testament to its exceptional service, amenities, and overall guest experience.
  • AAA’s Five Diamond Ranking: The resort has received the highest rating from the American Automobile Association (AAA), indicating an outstanding level of quality and excellence in accommodations, dining, and recreational activities.
  • World Luxury Hotel Award: Acqualina Resort has been awarded the prestigious World Luxury Hotel Award, a recognition of its commitment to luxury, elegance, and exceptional customer service.

But what’s it really like to stay at such an acclaimed hotel? Is it truly worthy of the distinctions? I packed my bags, cruised up the winding driveway and checked in to find out. After passing through the porte-cochère lined with Bentleys and Bugattis, we zipped up the elevator to one of the hotel’s 44 suites.

That room category certainly has pizzazz, but at Acqualina, it’s even more exceptional. It felt more like an oceanfront residence than a traditional hotel room, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and surrounding waters. The spacious suite was tastefully decorated with elegant furnishings and modern amenities, including a private balcony perfect for taking in the stunning vistas.

Throughout my stay, I had the pleasure of enjoying some of Acqualina’s signature dining experiences, including fine dining at Scarpetta and casual beachside eats at La Cucina. The resort’s extensive recreational activities, such as snorkeling, kayaking, and paddleboarding, were also a highlight of my visit.

As I settled into my luxurious suite, I couldn’t help but feel that Acqualina Resort truly lives up to its reputation as one of the top hotels in South Florida. With its exceptional service, stunning ocean views, and world-class amenities, it’s no wonder this resort has been a favorite among travelers for decades.
