Honest full review of the Ramada Plaza Marco Polo Beach Resort (Sunny Isles Beach, Miami) by Rays on the Road! This oceanfront Wyndham hotel sits right on 400 feet of private beach with direct Atlantic Ocean access, huge pool, and balcony rooms overlooking cruise ships and the Miami Beach skyline. Is this the best Miami cruise port hotel? We check in, immediately hit issues in the first room (dark ceiling stains that looked like mold, running toilet, musty smell), request a switch, and do our signature black light cleanliness test. Full room tours of the kitchenette, bathroom, bed, balcony views, plus pool, hot tub, beach, grand lobby, and more. We cover everything: staff service, valet parking fees, long-term guest vibes, renovations, value for money, and our final ratings (2.5–3/5). Is this 1960s-era oceanfront hotel in Miami worth booking? Watch the complete 1-hour 18-minute vlog to find out!
