Villa Italia

Arrived 10am from cruise, only 14 rooms at the place and was told I had to wait till 3 to check in (even though someone was checking out at the time). The rest the story, reception, room, bath, location, amenities etc etc all suck. Not professionally run.

I don't know where half of these reviews come from but at no point did the amenities match what was advertised!!!! Flagrant and brackish experience to say the least. And where was the room service and food!!!!! I had not one Glass of OJ let alone see an orange on the property . There was no private parking. They don't take amex. And the beach is not a hop ans skip away. We had 3 people in our room...paid 3 resort fees and still had to rent a 3rd chair at the beach. FOH!!!! And soundproof rooms are a myth. The heavy feet above my room made me feel like I stayed In the hood . I swear If available I would have checked out and stayed at the best western. This place is the devil. Don't be fooled and don't taint your miami experience by staying here. YoU deserve better. This was below basic and goes down as tragic traveling. Shame on them for being open ....

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay just before Easter. Neighborhood was quiet. Maude and Victoria treated us like family. Our room was clean and welcoming. The garden path was lovely. Fellow guests were friendly. Villa Italia is within walking of everything. The beach towels and loungers were appreciated. The hosts made several recommendations for dining and music which were superb. We want to return very soon.
