But judging from a report by the Rupert Murdoch-owned Daily Mail, Trump Doral's qualifications may have been greatly exaggerated from the beginning.
The undercover reporter staying at the site found views of junkyards, sat in moldy chairs, and inhaled jet fumes from the nearby airport during his covert stay at the site that would have harbored world leaders for days of crucial talks if Trump had had his way.
The reporter, Jose Lambiet, found breathtaking views of waste management plants.
Who needs the smell of a salty sea when the smell of jet fumes reportedly linger as planes from the nearby airport fly low overhead.
Oh, and there's mold.
Like a lot of it.
Lambiet also mentions that one of the resort's main elevators was broken, forcing guests of the upper floors to wait in line for the only working elevator.
At least one guest reportedly contracted bed bugs during his stay there, so people weren't exactly surprised to see the resort's condition.

Lambiet did say, however, that the service from the mostly immigrant staff was exemplary.
