Great place..View..the coordinator is very professional..best of all great food..highly recommended..

We got married on November 20th, more than a month ago, and people still talking about the amazing wedding that we had in the Doubletree Grand Hotel.Adriana/Rick,What can i tell you, the best service ever, the best food, the best people.You have the best employees ever, they treat all my guest like queens and kings, they pampered everybody and also you took care of me all the time when i was not feeling well.Our guest said that it was the best food that they ever eat in a weeding, better than the best 5 stars hotel, the venue, the terrace, everything was perfect.I have to tell everybody about your venue, is the best place where a wedding could be.Your venue is not advertise at all, the excelence that we received is not comparable with anything.The rooms were perfect, Ajla (Sales Coordinator) is the sweetest person ever, she handled all my reservations (30 rooms) perfectly, the rooms were impecable, everybody was happy.I feel that i got some friends there.If you are looking for some wedding venues, please go and see Adriana, she and her team are the best and the price - quality that you get there is amazingDaniella

I really wish I could give them a 5 but we have mixed feeling on this place and the staff, primarily the catering manager. The main reason we picked this place is because it had everything we wanted, primarily the terrace overlooking the water, and the price was great compared to other hotels with similar features. The only thing we were a little skeptical about is that parts of the hotel look a little dated, especially the exterior. However, the hotel is pretty old, it just needs a few renovations. Luckily, during the wedding, the ballroom and terrace looked like a million dollars, and you couldn't see the age at all! The catering manager was pretty difficult to deal with for the majority of the time before the wedding. Although she did respond to emails rather quickly, she just wasn't the kindest of people. During our tasting, she was very rude. She acted like we were taking too much of her time and even got up from the table and started heading back to her office before we were done eating. She made it seem like just because we weren't spending a ton more money on "extras", we weren't worth her time. However, the 2 weeks before the wedding she was great. She called us several times to help finish up the numbers and paperwork, and she was extremely nice. She made sure we had anything we needed, and as promptly as possible. She acted like a completely different person. The night of the wedding, she was very catering to the two of us. She made sure we always had drinks, food, etc. However, my DOC told me that she didn't show up until 6pm that day (8pm cocktail hour) and she left around 10pm.......not sure how I feel about that but whatever, everything worked out in the end. The wait staff was FANTASTIC! They practically wait on you hand and foot. Everyone was very impressed! Our complimentary suite was fantastic as well! That view is unbeatable! Would I recommend this place? Yes, definitely, it is amazing and ideal for a Miami wedding, just be cautious about the catering manager.

When I first walked into the Grand Ballroom I knew this was the one! The view (overlooking Biscayne Bay) is beautiful! It made for a romantic sunset wedding ceremony. Everyone raved about the food and the presentation was excellent. The packages included so much (all the food and alchohol,cake, linens,Honeymoon suit ;))My only complaint is that the contract is some what confusing and they charge extra for those special touches even if you hire your own vendor (ex. I hired a vendor for Choc. Fountain and we had to pay an extra $100 clean up fee)and they require a fairly large amount of non-refundable money and payment plan.So read carfully.
Otherwise, my wedding was a huge success, the girls there are very helpful and make sure that everything gets done and are with you througout the whole night.

The location was great and the wait staff was amazing the day of the wedding.

We looked at a lot of locations, but this was definitely the best we found in our budget in terms of view, function space, and value. The package included a lot and was a fair price. Having a hotel wedding worked out well since we were able to get reduced rates our group and were given a complimentary suite for my wife to get ready and us to stay that night. We were wowed by our tasting and although the food was good at the reception, it was a little better at the tasting. Other then that everything was great.
