maryjohn Posted September 6, 2005 #1 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Have been trying to secure a day room at the end of our cruise before returning to the U.K. The above have both offered good rates. Anybody have any opinions on either - also is either of them near any good shopping malls? I would quite like some retail therapy but DH would just like to relax by the pool!

Linda/Ohio Posted September 18, 2005 #2 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Summerfield Suites are nice. I was there in April and I would stay there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentS Posted September 18, 2005 #3 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Summerfield Suites are nicer than Wyndham. No malls right by the airport, but Village of Merrick Park (very upscale shopping) is 15 minutes south in Coral Gables... http://www.villageofmerrickpark.com/ Miami International Mall... http://www.simon.com/mall/default.aspx?ID=141 And Dolphin Mall are both 10-15 minutes west... http://www.shopdolphinmall.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryjohn Posted September 18, 2005 Author #4 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Thanks for the info. Leaning towards Summerfield Suites - have emailed them a couple of times but still awating a reply. Hope to hear soon as I like to be organised and hate leaving anything until the last minute! WE are staying at the Intercontinental at Bayside for two nights pre cruise - thought we might go to Lincoln Road/Ocean Drive area one evening - is it far in a taxi and would it cost much? Thanks.

TrentS Posted September 18, 2005 #5 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Ocean Drive is about 15 minutes away, Lincoln Road Mall about 20 minutes or so... I would guess about a roughly, approximately $15 taxi fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryjohn Posted September 18, 2005 Author #6 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Trents - thanks for your help. Is taxi the best way to go or is it easy to get public transport there and taxi back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentS Posted September 18, 2005 #7 Share Posted September 18, 2005 No, it's best and safest to stick with taxis... Public transportation over there would be busses and I don't recommend those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
