This thread is about the former Marriott Doral Golf Resort and Spa, which became the Trump National Doral in 2012. (Marriott's Villas at Doral, the Marriott Vacation Club timeshare resort across the street, was not part of the acquisition by Trump.)

Here's a diagram showing the buildings at Marriott's Villas at Doral:

Hibiscus and Palm are the furthest buildings from the Trump property, but Hibiscus is the closer of the two. Sunset is the closest, so ask for Sunset and see what happens.

I've stayed at Marriott's Villas at Doral twice, but not since Trump took over across the street. Every "villa" is a 2-bedroom/2-bathrrom apartment with a full kitchen. It's a good choice for vacationing families who want a base to visit the Everglades, Zoo Miami, and other Miami area attractions. It's a bad choice for those who want to go to the beach every day.
