3 Night Precruise Miami Hotel Suggestions and things to do?

[browniegirl]

I received a nice email response from Loews customer service which stated that construction may still be happening by end of September, October, but hopefully will be minimal intrusion. They have quoted me some rates which aren't too bad.

 

Where would be good places to eat with our girls in South beach that isn't too crazy expensive - breakfast close by and dinner?? Or get drinks that aren't too crazy expensive lol? We expect to pay - it is South Beach after all - but would like to find some semi-reasonable yet fun places to take the girls!

Any of the hotels are going to be astronomical for drinks but sometimes it is worth it.

 

Hotels to hit:

 

Poolside Delano

Poolside Shore Club

The SLS

Rooftop The Hotel (The Tiffany)

Rooftop One Hotel

 

Don't overlook rooftops anywhere in South Beach especially those facing West.

 

Inexpensive places to dine

 

Big Pink

Havana 1957 (Espanola Way)

Tap Tap

Puerto Saga

Pizza Rustica

La Sandwicherie

News Cafe (Ocean Drive)

Front Porch Cafe (Ocean Drive)

 

Do not eat anywhere else on Ocean Drive. Bait and switch. $1.00 breakfast? $25 cup of coffee with no refills and if you complain they threaten to have you arrested.

Thank you, great info! Kinda scary about the bait and switch....yikes, we will completely stick to your list!!!

 

Chances are we will be eating lunches at wherever we are during the day, ie: taking girls to jungle island, zoo, aquarium etc but breakie and dinner by hotel or even go down to bayside - girls would like bubba gumps etc.....

 

Now I can't wait, only 117 days until we arrive in Miami, yay!!!

 

Thanks for all advice everyone!!! Hotel said that we can pay our one nights deposit and cancel and rebook if a better rate comes up, so that is good!!!

I forgot about Montys! Go for happy hour because if I believe their appetizers are all half price! The view is divine!

 

The girls would probably love to see The Mondrian which is almost next door.

Thank you, we will hit Montys for sure!!!!

 

Loews is booked, I am super excited now!!!! Just praying no pool closures while we are there......but at least there is the beach!!! Got great rate of $229 a night, oceanview with balcony, 2 double beds....happy with that!
