Grove Isle Hotel & Spa

Review by: Michael, Winter Garden, United States

Stayed: Nov 2007

The service was excellent, and the room was beautiful. I was somewhat disappointed with the location. It did not have the secluded, intimate feel that I had expected based upon their marketing information.

The Grove Isle was good value for money, service was good, reception very helpful. Our room was large and overlooking the city and water.

The reason we chose the location was that we had previously visited the nearby Coconut Grove area and were impressed. However this time round Cocowalk and surrounging shops seemed a little depressing. A lot of the nicer stores had closed down, apparently relocating to malls.

Having said that, it's still close enough to downtown but if you want the excitement and nightlife then I would recommend one of the hotels in South Beach.

I definitely recommend the Grove Isle. My husband and I got married there in September 2006 and our wedding was truly beautiful and romantic. We had a small ceremony and the Grove was the perfect setting. The hotel is located on a private island off Coconut Grove and is very exclusive. It's the perfect hideaway, quiet and peaceful. All rooms have a bay view and balconies. As you would expect, this comes at a high price, the average price is $300 USD per night (which is more than the Ritz-Carlton). Thanks to skoosh.com we got a great deal. Thanks skoosh!

For a four star hotel there was no concierge service. Upon arrival at 8pm I was greated by the hotel restaurant staff which was a bit odd given I was checking into the hotel - it took them5 minutes to find someone who could check me in. The hotel clearly takes a backseat to it's restaurant Balleen, which by the way, is sensational. The hotel is just ok for someone who wants to relax and not have any shops or restaurants (other than Ballen) nearby them, but having been to Miami previously for weekend visits on too many occassions to count, there are far better options to stay at in Coconut Grove itself (the Mayfair is better value for money) or on South Beach. The restaurant Balleen is definitely worth the vist though for a romantic dinner for two.

Good value for money. Excellent service, except for the restaurant, which i suspect was unusual for the establishment.

Expectations were surpased as far as everything except for location - the hotel is far from the design districtu, south beach, and little havana.
