I drove up to the resort two weeks ago to visit the hotel but was told the opening date had been pushed back to the end of May. However I did experience a warm welcome from the doorman, valet, and front desk staff all of whom were there to help the condo owners. What I saw of the interior was disappointing. Immediately upon entering there is a long and large mahogany table blocking direct access to the front desk. The interior design is an uncomfortable mix of las vegas and European old world style, with colorful bright stripped wall fabric, faux finishes, oversized sconces, and multicolored marble floors. This was a surprise, especially considering the cool mono color rooms depicted on the rosewood website. But, aftering visiting the lobby I went over to see the condo office which showcased examples of impressive quality finishes used in both the hotel and residences. Acqualina's decor did not inspire confidence and made me glad I stayed at my favorite Miami property, the Four Seasons. I'll wait before staying here until I read reviews from those who've stayed at the Acqualina before paying the rates they are asking.
