VegasGreen Posted September 13, 2005 #1 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Looking for a hotel in either the North Miami Beach/Bal Harbour area or a little north -- basically North Dade/South Broward. Something fun, preferably with beach access or right across the street from the beach. We'll have a rental car, so don't really care about tons of stuff nearby (except the beach), just a nice, safe, appealing place with the closest beach access possible. Totally flexible on price. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentS Posted September 13, 2005 #2 Share Posted September 13, 2005 In that area I would highly recommend Sunny Isles Beach, great area with some very nice new hotels. Trump International Sonesta Beach... http://www.sonesta.com/SunnyIsles/ Le Meridien... http://www.lemeridien.com/usa/miami/hotel_us1840.shtml DoubleTree Ocean Point... http://www.oceanpointresort.com/ Or in Bal Harbour, Sheraton Bal Harbour... http://www.sheratonbalharbourresort.com/ Or going north into Hollywood Beach, the Westin Diplomat... http://www.diplomatresort.com/ Possibly a bit farther north than you want, but there's also a new Marriott on the north end of Hollywood Beach... http://www.hollywoodbeachmarriott.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasGreen Posted September 13, 2005 Author #3 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Thanks a MILLION, Trent.... between the Marriott Hollywood and the Westin Diplomat, what are your honest thoughts? Atmosphere, beach access, personal experiences... you're the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentS Posted September 13, 2005 #4 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Oh between those 2 I'd go with the Westin Diplomat if it were me. There's nothing wrong with the Hollywood Beach Marriott, it's all brand new, but the Diplomat is quite spectacular! Hollywood Beach has just been replenished behind it with new sand extending the beach out and it's a very nice area to stay in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bequia Posted September 14, 2005 #5 Share Posted September 14, 2005 Ditto on the Diplomat. If you can get a reservation, dine at the hotel restaurant Hollywood Prime. Certainly one of the best steakhouses in SoFla. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasGreen Posted September 15, 2005 Author #6 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Thanks, guys. :) Question - what about the Diplomat vs. the Marriott Harbor Beach in FtL? Any differences there? Also, does the Diplomat have easy direct beach access? Thanks SOOOO much for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrentS Posted September 15, 2005 #7 Share Posted September 15, 2005 Marriott Harbor Beach is very nice, but Diplomat is new and SPECTACULAR... They're both directly ON the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
