What the room rate and resort fee include — and what costs extra
The room rate at Faena Miami Beach covers your chosen room (taxes and fees vary by booking). A daily resort fee adds on-site inclusions such as fitness-center and Tierra Santa wet-spa access, chaise lounges/umbrella/towel service at the pool and beach, in-room and property-wide Wi‑Fi, a welcome beverage, and house-car access; many services (meals, spa treatments, valet parking, transfers, and extras) are charged separately.

The nightly room rate pays for the accommodation itself — for example, a Premier Room, Oceanfront or an Ocean View Junior Suite — and typically includes standard in-room amenities described at booking.

Transport, parking, pets and incidental fees
Several practical items are charged separately: valet parking, airport transfers, spa treatments, room-service dining, rollaway beds and pet fees all appear as extras unless included in a packaged rate.
Faena Miami Beach’s policies on some of these extras are listed in the property dossier and on the hotel’s booking pages; confirm the current fees at check-in or via your booking agent.

Event spaces, theater and special bookings

- Private use of El Secreto Omakase or special dining buyouts requires prepayment and confirmation rules

How to avoid surprises at check-out
Review your booking confirmation for whether the resort fee is included; if it’s listed separately, it will appear on your hotel folio. Ask the front desk for an itemized estimate at check-in so you know which services are charged on top of the room rate.
If you plan spa treatments, valet parking, private dining or extra bedding, request costs and cancellation rules in writing. For El Secreto Omakase and some restaurant events, reservations may require full prepayment and strict arrival rules.
- Confirm whether your rate includes the advertised resort fee inclusions or if they’re being waived in a package
- Ask about incidental-authorisation amounts; the property typically requires a credit-card authorization at check-in
- Keep receipts for spa, dining, and valet charges and inspect your final folio before payment
| Common extra at check-out | Tip |
|---|---|
| Spa treatments | Get written price and cancellation policy at booking |
| Valet and parking | Confirm nightly fee and in/out privileges |
| Restaurant prepayments | Keep proof of any deposits or full payments for venues like El Secreto |
