Deauville Beach Resort in Miami Beach

People are very nice place is very clean kind of high in the price but that's what you get when you want something good

I was here for a convention in the meeting rooms and stages.
The place seems clean. The staff is friendly.
I did not stay in the hotel. But other people in the convention did, and I did not hear any complaints.

The hotel has a really big pool area that sits right in front of the beach. Compared to other hotels in this price range, I think it is a good option.
If you eat in the restaurants or banquets, the food seems attractive. The other convention attendees seemed happy with the food.

I am a vegetarian. The vegetarian choices will not fill you up. For breakfast everyone got eggs, bacon, sausage links and oatmeal.
I asked for the vegetarian option. The waiter said he talked to the kitchen. 20 minutes later I asked again. He said, I don't know, I already talked to the kitchen. 20 minutes after that, I asked again. He said I don't know what the kitchen is making for you. I said, I am not allowed in the kitchen. Since you are the waiter and you are allowed in the kitchen, can you please go see.
10 minutes later he came back with a bowl of oatmeal. 80% of our people had already left the breakfast and I had not started.
I had noticed that another one of our tables had been getting these same bowls.

I asked the waiter if he had oatmeal available to him, why didn't he bring that out almost an hour before.

Later I found out that the banquets mánager had charged a much more expensive amount for my vegetarian plate. And my vegetarian plate had been delivered to the convention computer room.
My expensive vegetarian brunch consisted of 1 sliced banana, half of an orange sliced, and 1 strawberry sliced on a plate.
And because it was delivered to the computer room, instead of the breakfast area where everyone else was eating, I didn't see it until hours later.
If the waiter had simply brought me 2 or 3 plates of oatmeal, it would have been enough food. And I could have eaten at the same time as the others in our group.

During our dinner they served a plate of raw sliced squash and raw sliced carrots. I brought my own vegetarian protein bar, as I knew dinner was not going to fill me up.

For desert they had a really fancy chocolate cake dessert. It looked like it was out of a 5 star resort. I am avoiding sugar and wheat. But it looked so good, I decided to take it for my parents. My step mom would for sure love it.
I asked for a box. They said that it was against their policy to let any banquet food leave the hotel. I asked why?
That doesn't make sense. They said I could get sick at home from it, if I don't refrigerate it and then they would be liable. I said that doesn't make sense whatsoever.

So I asked for a piece of foil. And I said you don't have to know what I'm using the foil for, that way you don't get in trouble. She said if I bring you that piece of foil, I'm risking losing my job.

So needless to say, they are a little backwards when it comes to vegetarian food or common sense.

But most of the employees were really nice and the location and pool area are awesome. So I would still recommend this place.

I don’t know what these people are talking about, but the Deauville is one of the best hotels I stayed in, and I can’t wait until they finish renovating. I hope it’s done before my birthday (May 8).See you soon

This place was simply amazing, went in 2015 had the best experience ever, my husband proposed outside at the beach of Deauville beach resort one sunny beautiful day I'll never forget this place
