Trump considers self in "hospitality" biz? Guess that's why he maliciously slanders HRC...
immigrants, the Squad, African-American athletes, civil rights heroes, Democrats, Members of Congress...
"Hospitality."
What a hospitable host.

I was here for a business trip with an extra spa day. The grounds (lovely) are very spread out and you will pay extra for parking and just about everything else! Water, fees, tips, etc. So even if you get a great room rate, everything else will add up. Even golf carts to get around $$.
Decor: I found the overall vibe tacky, very Dynasty style, a bit worn out, lots of throw pillows, lots of gold. The linens were not luxe, this is not a chic place. The room was a bit musty. People who have never stayed anyplace nice might think this is true luxury, but it is not a true 5-star, not even really a 4-star. This is not the Mandarin. Paper cups abound.
No serenity: Our room in the Tiger Woods !! Villa was NOT quiet. Thin walls. Worst of all, the entire property is in the flightpath of the airport, so the noise is fairly constant. No sleeping in.
Overall: The location is isolated, so if not here for golf it's a bit of a waste. The mediocre quality of the food, the spa, and the rooms do not make up for location. The staff tried hard but were not overly professional. Again, this is not really a luxury resort. Hospitality is an art, and I don't think anyone in the Trump family has mastered it. Go elsewhere.

This place is like what a child with no sense of taste would create to make something seem nice. There is only so much you can polish a turd. The staff, while seemingly nice people, dont give the impression they are happy to work there. The place is in need of a major renovation before I would recommend it.

The only hotel I will book in Miami. Service is consistently 5 Star, I book this hotel for business as well as personal. At least 12 times per year. From the bell staff (especially Pensy) to the check in staff, to the food and beverage staff in both restaraunts, service is perfect. From name recognition to my food preferences, etc., always so friendly and accomodating LK/Naples, FL

so if the same group of dead-enders are following trump from rally to rally doesn't that mean
that local support is less than it seems?
It's just him, slopping virtually the same group of crazy hogs but in a different location every week...

Go on OFFENSE in a way the Bidens can't - read and share InvestigateIvanka.com
If Biden were to attack Ivanka she would play the victim card in a nanosecond.
It's harder for her to do that when the attacks are coming from all directions.
There is a running clearinghouse of Ivanka's criminal and unethical actions at
https://www.investigateivanka.com
tweet and share with #InvestigateIvanka
get under trump's skin in the worst way possible - bring all the scrutiny down on Ivanka.
Ivanka Trump is using nepotism to block investigations into accusations of grifting, corruption, self-enrichment, criminal activity and other unethical
behavior. Nepotism compromises national security and erodes democracy.
Because she chose to take a senior position in the White House, Ivanka is complicit in every action of her father and the Trump administration. This includes the kidnapping and abuse of children at the border, sexism, racism, threats, incitement, propaganda, obstruction of justice, abuse of power, corruption and treason.

Ivanka clothing factory: 'poverty pay' so bad workers have to live away from kids
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jun/13/revealed-reality-of-a-life-working-in-an-ivanka-trump-clothing-factory"The reality of working in a factory making clothes for Ivanka Trumps label has been laid bare, with employees speaking of being paid so little they cannot live with their children, anti-union intimidation and women being offered a bonus if they dont take time off while menstruating."
"The Guardian has spoken to more than a dozen workers at the fashion labels factory in Subang, Indonesia, where employees describe being paid one of the lowest minimum wages in Asia and there are claims of impossibly high production targets and sporadically compensated overtime."
...
"Throughout her marriage to her husband, Ahmad, one or both of them has always worked. And yet, says Alia, the couple can never think about clearing their debts. Instead, what she has to show for years of work at PT Buma is two rooms in a dusty boarding house, rented for $30 a month and decorated with dozens of photos of their children because the couple cant dream of having enough money to have them at home. The children live, instead, with their grandmother, hours away by motorcycle, and see their parents just one weekend a month, when they can afford the gasoline."
...
"When Alia was told the gist of Ivanka Trumps new book on women in the workplace, she burst out laughing. Her idea of work-life balance, she said, would be if she could see her children more than once a month."
