Score
Marenas Resort appears in inspection records eight times, starting in 2022. The most recent visit was on Mar 9, 2026. A medium risk score generally means inspectors found things to fix, though most weren't urgent.
Violation counts have been trending down, averaging around six violations across recent inspections versus roughly 11 violations before.
Looking across the full record, “equipment in poor repair” is the recurring theme, flagged three times.
That's lower than the typical Sunny Isles Beach restaurant, which scores around 74. On the whole, the file is mixed but not concerning.
