I came here with my boyfriend (at the time) during July 4th weekend and i wanted a place away from all the craziness, clean and with a touch of family-ness. This was SO it! They are super nice, the breakfasts are yummy and the coffee was awesome. They even have a cute little pool you can lay by. The walk... more

South Beach was loud and noisy. If you have children or teenagers, this is one place you would not want them to see. more

South Beach was an absolutely amazing experience. If you are planning a trip here take these things into consideration. 1. STAY IN SOUTH BEACH...my friends and I tried to save money and stayed Downtown Miami. We ended up having to take a $20 taxi twice a day to south beach because that is where eveything is. If you stay in... more

Be careful while dealing with unknown pretty gals. They come with you to your room and will steel your credit cards.If you do any ATM transaction they will memorize your pin and once they get the possession of your bank card they will rip you off. Specially in DELANO club or around collins av (thats where all the hotels are... more

"After a very cold winter in the Midwest and practically lifeless with seasonal-affect disorder, SOBE was a refreshing break from the monotony of everyday life. First of all, SOBE, in my opinion, could be the most international destination in the United States. Everyone is a minority and the blending of cultures was great to see. Beautiful people line the white-sand... more

About the same thing happened to us. We went to South beach for the weekend of March 20-March 22, 2009. I would not describe it as a disappointment, b/c it was still a trip and a getaway, but it is nothing like what you see on TV. Whole of South Beach is so run down and dirty. There is not... more

I love South Beach. I've been there about 6 times in the last three years and always have a wonderful time. You will best appreciate South Beach if you start with the Art Deco Walking Tour. No only do they tell you about the history of SoBe, but they take you through some of the hotels and point out interesting... more

Southbeach was great the ART DECO BUILDINGS alone make it worth going. 15 blocks of restraunts CARDOZA owned by GLORIA ESTAFAN AND HUSBAND EMILIO was my favorite. The size of the drinks were unbelievable. did not like the hostesses out front of the restraunts trying to coral people in they practically grabbed you and thats alot of grabbing for 15... more

Some of the reviews say South Beach is OK. Def not, if you're into clubs, parties, beach and eating out at nice restaurants, you'll love South Beach. I've been here 3 times and had an awesome time. There's lots of excursions to do during the day not to mention the beach is beautiful! Last time I went we took a... more

The Churchill Suites/Crown Hotel, Miami Beach, Florida My husband and I just returned from a long-awaited, much needed weekend in the sun and were very disappointed in our choice of accomodations. We booked a studio apartment at the renovated Crown Hotel. First, what was ok: The location was good, right on the boardwalk and the view was obstructed but ok.... more
