“Great Orange Bowl Venue”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012

We stayed at the El Palacio while attending the 2012 Orange Bowl (Let's Go Mountaineers!). This was an excellent choice due to the proximity to Sun Life Stadium. Our room was clean and the front desk employees were excellent. They provided us with information about restaurants in the area as well as helping us choose which beach to visit on Thursday. We enjoyed the balcony and watching the horses at the adjacent racetrack and casino. The view of the skyline was very nice. We would definitely stay at the El Palacio again if we were to travel back to this area, particularly if we were attending an event at Sun Life Stadium.

“Orange Bowl”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 January 2012

My wife and I flew down on 1/3 for the Orange Bowl this year. We arrived at the hotel around 10am and they already had our room ready. Transportation to/from the airport was arranged through their recommended shuttle service and did a great job.

We stayed in a poolside jacuzzi room. Unfortunately, it was a bit cold outside so we didn't get to enjoy the pool, but the jacuzzi made up for it. I can imagine with warmer weather the poolside room would have been a sweet party spot. We ate at the Legends restaurant a few times. Though there wasn't much on the menu the view of the racetrack and stadium was nice.

Sun Life stadium is within walking distance. This was the reason we stayed. Though we ended up taking the shuttle ($15 a person). We also walked to the casino next door.

The hotel was clean and was very accomodating to the Orange Bowl crowd. If we ever go back to the Orange Bowl we'll definitely stay again. The staff was friendly and the price was reasonable considering the location. It's perfect for those who are going just for the game.

Room Tip: Poolside jacuzzi room was nice

“A Great Orange Bowl Experience!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

My stay at El Palacio was terrific. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful, especially Vicky at the front desk. The room was clean and the view from the balcony was spectacular. The new miniature golf course provided my friend and I with a great activity and we even used the basketball courts. And of course, the proximity to Sun Life Stadium made the whole Orange Bowl experience wonderful. The hotel was filled with Clemson and West Virginia supporters making a fun time for all, regardless of the outcome of the game.



Thanks for providing a great venue for this trip.

Room Tip: Definitely face the race track and stadium. Makes for great view of both and a terrific sunrise.

“Orange Bowl stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

The El Palacio is a great place to stay. The staff was extremely courteous and helpful. Everyone in the hotel was very friendly, from the manager right down to the cleaning staff. The view from my balcony was awesome as, I got to see horses run around the track. The view of Sun Life stadium was nice as well. There was fun for people of all ages, mini golf and basketball for the kids and a nice sports bar for the adults. If I ever make it to Miami again, I WILL stay at El Palacio.

Room Tip: Ask for room overlooking horse track.

“Orange Bowl Visit”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 January 2012

A friend and myself booked two rooms for two nights for the Orange Bowl at SunLife Stadium. El Palacio was a perfect location for the game. The rooms were very nice and we enjoyed our great view of the race track. The sports bar was a good spot to go before and after the game.

The staff was particularly friendly and helpful to us. They were able to refer great things for us to take in while we were in the Miami area. Joanie was the manager who helped us from check-in to check-out, she was extremely nice and helped make our stay a memorable one.

Room Tip: Definitely request a corner room with a track view
