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.

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.

The Luxurious Accommodations

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 suite. The spacious living area, complete with floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors, offered breathtaking views of the surrounding waters.

A Night to Remember

After a day of exploring the hotel’s amenities and enjoying the stunning views, I settled in for a night to remember. The staff at Acqualina truly go above and beyond to ensure that every guest feels like royalty.

The room service menu offered an impressive selection of dishes, from classic comfort food to gourmet cuisine. And with the hotel’s prime location, guests can easily access some of Miami’s top attractions, including South Beach and the Design District.
