I got a chance to stay at the Hilton Bentley in Miami<\/a>\u00a0for 3 days and I think that this is a well deserved 4 diamond hotel. This hotel offers all suite accommodations and it is located right on the beach. This hotel is also walking distance to great restaurants and bars.<\/p>\n

We drove to the hotel from the airport as I flew into FLL. As you pull in, valet service greets you and takes your car as you check in. If you can avoid renting a car, I recommend it as parking is $35 a night. The check in process was fast and the front desk staff was very friendly.<\/p>\n

When I got to the room, I was welcomed with a personalized note and refreshing waters.<\/p>\n

\"Welcome\"<\/a>

Personalized Greeting<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0I was also impressed by the room because of the kitchenette with stainless steel fridge and granite counter tops, a comfy sofa that converts to a sleeper, a standup shower and yes…a bidet (beday).<\/p>\n

\"Fully<\/a>

Living Room<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Large<\/a>

Large Bathroom<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Very<\/a>

Very Comfy Bed<\/p><\/div>\n

Now as a Gold Member from my Citi Hilton Reserve Card, I received free internet and free all American Breakfast for me and one\u00a0guest which was great! They had a variety of fruits and pastries and they had the standard scrambled eggs, bacon, potatoes, and pancakes. They even had a made to order omelet station.<\/p>\n

\"Breakfast<\/a>

Breakfast Buffet<\/p><\/div>\n

Right outside the restaurant is the pool area with plenty of lounge chairs for relaxing. There is also a pool side bar area to get some adult beverages.<\/p>\n

\"Outside<\/a>

I also received 2 free mojito coupons and a 20% discount card for the hotel restaurant\u00a0which we gladly took advantage of.<\/p>\n

\"Who<\/a>

Who doesn’t like free drinks!<\/p><\/div>\n

So how did I get this hotel that usually costs $300+ a night during the holidays?<\/p>\n

Well I had gotten the Citi Hilton Reserve card which gave me 2 free weekend nights and Gold status. I had also gotten the Amex Hilton card which gave me points to get the 3rd night. Since this hotel is a category 9 hotel, the points could range from 50k-80k depending on the season. You have to book this hotel during the holidays well in advance since award nights run out fast! I also stayed here on forth of July and it was a perfect location to watch fireworks on the beach. I was able to get this night for 50k points and it was well worth the points.<\/p>\n

Overall, I had an enjoyable and low cost vacation and I would definitely go back once I rack up more Hilton points.<\/p>\n
