This upper-middle-range property is a vast, seven-acre complex with 174 suites and villas that edge the golf course of Trump National's 12th and 13th holes. All of the suites function more like an apartment than a hotel room, as they have full kitchens and living space. Perks include an outdoor swimming pool and sundeck, a bar, a steakhouse, 24-hour fitness center, and spa, as well as meeting and banquet facilities. Some rooms and common areas show wear and tear, and the sheer size of the grounds makes for some long walks to the lobby, pool, and restaurant. The nearby Marriott's Villas at Doral are pricier, but include access to a lakeside beach and large villas.

Something for everyone: a world-class golf; a full-service spa; a pool with a waterslide. And it's all graced with warm, friendly service in a scenic resort setting. Just know that you're isolated on-site, you're nowhere near the beach, and everything costs extra -- often quite a bit extra.

The three-pearl, 145-room Aloft Miami Doral is part of the Starwood Hotels group that caters to a younger, hipper crowd. With its ultra modern design, grab-and-go food stations, and live lobby music, the hotel offers an affordable and stylish option. Its sunny, outdoor pool has a large deck complete with cabanas and poolside snacks, and the gym is small but well-equipped and bright. A buffet breakfast can be purchased, but it's more cafeteria than restaurant (seating is in the common area). The location in Doral has its appeal, with shopping malls and golf courses, but it's far from Miami beach and the city's nightlife. Another Doral property travelers could consider is the Element Miami Doral, which includes a free breakfast.

Opened in 2015, this attractive three-pearl property is quite a hike from the bright lights of downtown Miami, but it does put guests close to Doral’s business parks, shopping malls, and golf courses; moreover, being part of Starwood’s environmentally-friendly Element family, it lets them go green in style. After all, the 139 units come with designer kitchenettes, spa-inspired bathrooms, plus in-room amenities like flat-screen TVs, charging stations and connectivity panels. On-site features such as a saline pool and well-equipped fitness center are further incentives to stay; ditto for the freebies, which include Wi-Fi, a healthy breakfast buffet and a warm welcome for pets. Travelers looking for a livelier (and nosier) mid-range alternative in the area can try the hip Aloft Miami Doral, an adjacent sister property.
