Provident Doral At The Blue Miami

Nice staff, nice room but very disappointed that even though we had a room with a kitchen, there were no cutting knives or a can opener. When we called to request it, we were told the units are «not provided» with cutting knives and also that if we wanted to open a can we would have to walk over to the restaurant and have someone in the back open up our cans! We had stopped at the grocery store on our way in (it’s too far to walk to a grocery store FYI) and didn’t think we would need to buy our own bread knife or can opener! So back we went in a cab :(. We have stayed in many suites at many resorts and never encountered such a CHEAPSKATE policy. Reflects poorly on management and we will never stay at another Provident.

I went to Miami with my sister to celebrate her 21^st birthday, we really enjoyed our five day stay in this hotel although there were a lot of people from the Univision show named La Banda staying in this hotel during those days which was about three weeks from today, this caused the hotel to be a little busy because those people were like EVERYWHERE but the hotel rooms are clean and very roomy.

Very nice place nice staff but very low lack of Secruity yes it’s fenced it but there should b extra Secruity on the premises overall had a good time the surrounding area outside of this resort is bad very dangerous drivers and ppl act like there in another country outside the us poorly run for an American city u can tell there’s corruption still in south beach

We booked our room in advance and arrived shortly after check-​in Saturday. There were no second floor room availabilities so we stayed In a bottom floor room of the 9^th building from the lobby/​restaurant/​bar building. The room was very large and clean. Late in the evening we realized the double sliding glass door to the outside first floor patio was broken with no way to secure or lock it. We moved furniture around to keep the doors from possible opening from outside, but did not feel secure. Early morning the toilet would not flush properly and we packed the car to find manhole covers spilling sewage into the driveway. Most of the buildings on property had this disturbing sanitation issue when we complained at check out. No compensation was offered for two very uncomfortable issues for our single night stay. We would NOT recommend this property.

Nice rooms with plenty of space. Modern and clean design. My room was room 115, the first building next to the pool. It also had a nice balcony. The only problem was the TV reception was not that good and some of the channels were snowy.

Let’s break it down so it makes sense. The city of Doral is about 30 minutes or so from the hustle and bustle and excitement of Miami. So Doral is a industry type city — nothing fancy or fun about it at all. That’s not the hotels fault, but just note if you are shopping around and think Doral is part of Miami — it’s not.
They price this hotel fairly considering it’s not in a beach /​prime city — but overall it’s not a hotel. It’s more of a lot of buildings ranging from like Building 1 to 15. So it doesn’t feel like a hotel — more of like an outside motel where you enter your room without being in a building. You can tell they have spent some money upgrading the rooms, but if you’re used to Four Star quality you will not be a fan of this place. As much as you want to like it — for me I couldn’t. The view was not good in our suite — it backed up upon some half dead palms. Also — you didn’t have much privacy and the exterior of the buildings you stay inside of look dated and rather Two Star.
This is not going to be the property that you take selfies in front of and say: «We’re in Miami… come party with us.» Again, if you are not looking to be close to Miami, the Beach or any of that — than maybe Doral is good for you. As it’s in a basic city that has a lot of blue collar types.
The hotel tries it’s best to make you feel good and welcomed. It’s just not a hotel type feel nor will you feel that way when you enter. To get to Miami or any cool city — it requires a 20 to 30 minute ride down the road. It’s cheaper than Miami, but you get what you pay for. I’m sticking to Miami next time.

We like this hotel, come here every time we come to Miami

Well regretting going for the Provident Doral at The Blue over the Trump whatever it’s called. At The Blue for business and although the place looks deserted I’m still waiting for ONE (1) room to open so I can check in. Yes I got here a bit early (noon) and was told not a single room was available (OK), front desk attendant was courteous and promised to put in a rush and that she would call me when the room was ready. Over two hours later and several «promised» calls (not sure who she called but it wasn’t me) I’m still waiting. Thank God for Mojitos, which were good but not that good. Definitely changing our next group reservation to another property. Sorry Provident, you didn’t wowed. P. S. To be fair I will update if I ever get to my room.

I am currently a guest in 1102. Since I was promoted to president of my company I need to be in Miami often. I thought I had found the perfect place. Monday was fine & then Tuesday I arrived in my room & there was no internet. I called the front desk, they said it must just be my room, because they had internet & they would send someone right away. An hour & 15 min later still no one. I called again the front desk said ok will send someone immediately. Another hour & still no one. I called again & they proceed to tell me that the internet is down everywhere & they were trying to fix. I said I wish they would have called & told me that instead of having me wait for someone that is not coming. At this point I had wanted to order room service, but did not what people in & out of my room while I was eating, so I had waited. Then I get a call from the front desk that says unplug & plug in my modem/​router. I did still did not work, told them that. They said they will continue to try & fix. I had very important reports & info that needed to be to clients that evening & I was not able to make that deadline. Which cost me money, not to mention unhappy clients. The internet as of today Wednesday at 2pm has not been fixed. I have left multiple messages for Antonio the manager & have not received a call back. I called the front desk & told them that I need to try to find another hotel for Wednesday night that had internet so I could work. I told her that I would call them back if I was checking out. She told me in an unpleasant tone that I MUST tell her right now or they would charge me for the night whether I checked out or not. Of course this was very upsetting to me & told her that the manager needed to call me back. At this point I still have heard nothing from the manager.

I had an amazing stay! I was in the studio and it came with a cute full kitchen (loved the ice maker and pots/​plates already being stocked) as well as a huge bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub (actual jets in the tub, not just a garden tub) and an amazing standup shower. I totally recommend this place, I don’t think I can stay in another Miami hotel that has the basic room layout. My only complaint was the person who checked me in who wouldn’t let me pay for an upgrade because I booked through Hotwire, but other than that it was nothing short of amazing.

We had huge (100m2 /​1070 square feet) one bedroom Master Suite with two bathrooms. We also enjoyed the pool area which has fountains and a nice hot tub to relax. Location was good for our visits to Everglades and Dolphin mall.

Made a tragic mistake of booking at the Hampton Inn nearby a little bit north. After promptly walking out of there and getting a refund I caught a
deal for The Provident. Beautiful property. Restaurant, Spa and front desk were immaculate and smelled beautiful. Very modern style, calming soothing music. A 24 hr pool! Will stay here again. Ernie the bartender at night is a very very nice gentlemen and was a pleasure to be served by.

Found this place on accident and very grateful! Hidden treasure. Excellent rate in May. Had a conference at FIU. This is about 10 – 15 min easy ride away. Also close to dolphin mall. The hotel is amazing. Huge room. Huge kitchen. Beautiful décor. Very clean. All the staff is so nice and alway looking out for your best intrest. Pool and restaurant are top notch. Very relaxing. 24hr pool with cabanas! I recommend if you want a upscale Miami feel with out the full cost and crazy location.

This place is outstanding. My business is located about ½ mile down the street and I book all of our agents and colleagues here. Not once have we had a single compliant, except for maybe they don’t want to leave. Ha! The rooms are extremely spacious and convenient. Mini to full kitchen in all of the rooms. I love the shower and beds. The restaurant 5300 Chop located in the lobby area is very good as well. No need to leave the property for food if you do not have a car.
I too have stayed here just for a little weekend golf get away and it is simply fantastic.
Front desk is always super friendly and very knowledgeable. Can’t go wrong booking here in Doral, you really don’t want to book elsewhere.

Everything about this place was amazing. At first my girlfriend and I were kind of bummed out, the people at the port told us it was in Miami but it was in Doral. It was out of the way but when we got to the establishment we were happy. Right of the back they upgraded our room to a three bedroom villa. We didn’t need it but it was so sick. God the room alone made us not want to leave. We went poolside and had a server bring us cocktails so that was legit. Overall great experience. We were on a cruise for a week so we never truly got to relax. When we got here it finally felt like a vacation. Honestly the employees were terrific. Every single person there was extremely happy and I will stay here again !!! Thank you

Great location and phenomenal customer service. Only reason why I didn’t give it 5 stars is because portion sizes at the chophouse were very small related to the price. Besides that this place is fantastic.

Nice place. Above average hotel. Independent hotel (not part of hilton or Marriott). The place is nice, the rooms are also nice and above average. But, hotel is 30min+ from downtown miami (night life). With so many excellent hotel options closer to the beach/​downtown at the same price point, I would stay elsewhere. Again, not a bad place at all, and ok for meetings, but if you can get same price and closer to the beach/​nightlife/​downtown, do it.

I am here with a business meeting and am very impressed with the staff and facilities here. The staff here has bent over backward to fulfill every want or need for my group and I. thanks folks.

Eigentlich eine schöné Hotelanlage, ehemals der Hyatt Gruppe, die ich auch schon mal bewertet habe.
Unter der neuen «Führung» der ProvidentGruppe muss ich auch sagen, dass die Anlage ein wenig heruntergekommen aussieht. Auf den ersten Blick alles schick, wenn man genauer hinsieht, sieht man aber, dass die Anlage nicht wirklich gepflegt wird. Insbes. die Zimmer hätten mal wieder einen Anstrich nötig, das Bad hat auch schon bessere Zeiten gesehen. Ansonsten sind die Zimmer von der Größe her toll mit Küchenzeile und Balkon. Dazu die Weitläufigkeit der Apartmentanlage, wirklich schön. Auch der Preis sprach für sich, die Hotels am South Beach sind unverschämt teuer.
Wenn man in Miami Urlaub macht, sollte man aber schon wissen, dass das Hotel in einem Vorort liegt und man ohne Auto aufgeschmissen ist.

The rooms are really good. Nice flat screen TV, smaller one in the bathroom. Spa tub and separate shower, kitchenette with decent appliances and sofa, table etc. Definitely up there in the room furnishing stakes.
But that’s about it for the good stuff. That big HD TV I mentioned? Well you can only get low definition, non-​widescreen analog cable stations through it, that look like crap. Not even any pay-​per-​view.
The routers in the room are hit and miss. Ours didn’t work so we had to use another room’s wifi, meaning so-​so signal. Despite wifi being included you still had to go through a log in page every now and then, so don’t bother taking a Roku or something to make up for the lack of TV.
The layout of the hotel is in a big backwards ‘r’ shape, with 15 individual buildings, each with (I think) 16 rooms. If you’re in buildings 1 – 3, then you can easily make use of the facilities in the clubhouse and the pool. If you’re further away, expect a hike or to mess around calling for a golf cart pick up. We were in building 15, the furthest away.
The rooms have balconies, but they overlook nothing in particular. Ours had a view of the golf course’s maintenance and landscaping depot. One afternoon, the staff must have been hosing down something above us, maybe the penthouse balcony, because dirty water poured down on to our balcony and the things we had left out there.
Staff were average, but didn’t listen very well and didn’t feel like they would go out of their way to make your stay better.
If I was put up here again I wouldn’t mind, but if I had a choice I’d probably try somewhere else.

Hands down such an amazing hotel! I felt like royalty my whole stay! I live in Miami and I have stayed at plenty of hotels but this hotel has exceeded my expectations. The price is amazing for all the amenities and the rooms this hotel is like a home full equipped with a kitchen cups plates cooking supply’s a full refrigerator. It had washer and dryer. The beds are like clouds the living room is so relaxing. The view of the golf park is beautiful. The employees treat you with up most respect and value. I will be coming to this hotel a lot more.
