Fontainebleau Miami Beach
Beautiful hotel! We did a last minute mother-daughter long weekend and it was perfect. Pool is busy but so pretty and plenty of space to swim around. Beach was well staffed and so easy to access. I loved the beach trail that goes all the way to south beach-great for morning walk!

Mondrian South Beach
The only downfall with this hotel is a $200 per night security deposit. I feel like that’s a little steep for long stays. I’ve stayed in other Miami hotels none charge $200 per day! The money is refundable but that’s not the point.

Park Central South Beach
Very convenient. Right across from the beach. Staff was friendly. Our only issue was they were ‘stingy’ with towels. We had to ask each day for more towels.
