We stopped by the bar to have a drink. The bartender was phenomenal. He made the best mojito I have ever had -- his specialty drink perfected while working for Gloria Estefan! A must have taste of South Beach for the discerning mojito fan! More

My husband and I stayed at Essex House Hotel in South Beach for two nights before joining a cruise ship in Fort Lauderdale. The hotel was really great from start to finish.
