3 day weekend in South/Miami Beach?
Posted on 4/26/24 at 1:33 pm
Posted on 4/26/24 at 1:33 pm
Currently Booking a last minute 3 day get away to Miami Beach May 17-20. Landing in Miami in the early evening on the Friday & leaving Monday afternoon.
Just my S/O & I are going. We are looking forward to enjoying the beach, eating good meals, & some cool bars/ after dinner places. (I know that will be a pretty penny).
Is there any recommendations for staying in Mid-beach vs Miami/South beach? There are some good deals on both Collins Ave & on Ocean dr.
Anything helps! Thanks

I much preferred Mid-Beach and North-Beach to South Beach. South Beach was pretty trashy 
Even if you aren't staying there, the Fontainebleau is a cool spot to hangout. We were with a 3 month old when we went, so I don't have any suggestions on after dinner places.

Bring your cash to South Beach. Ate at Casablancas. Beaches are nice

Marriott Stanton South Beach
Nice hotel, not too pricey and within easy walking distance of some of the best restaurants in South Beach. Lolos Cantina is attached the property and serves really solid food (or did) with reasonably priced drinks.

Thanks for the recommendations! we are leaning currently towards the Colony hotel on Ocean Dr.
Do any of y’all know if the hotels let non-guests into their pool/bar area? Colony doesn’t have a pool with a bar so we are just curious

Mrs Adajax and I will be there around the same time. I planned to trip to see the Marlins. She wants to see Little Havana and South Beach. Is Key Largo enough of the Keys or should we try to stretch it all the way to Key West. We only have one day for the Keys.

Do an out and back to Marathon. Driving to Key West can take 3 hours or more each way depending on the traffic.

We went in Feb and stayed the Palms. We went to Versailles and then to Little Havana. We had dinner one night at Joe's Stone Crab, I highly recommended it.

Colony is a room and a shower. Don't expect much more. That said, it's in the middle of everything SB, so you'll not spend much time there likely.
I like day drinking and people watching at the News Cafe.
Most hotels will let you in the bar area, but I think the Clevelander is the only one that will let you hang around the pools.
Don't miss Espanola (it's a pedestrian district just across Washington between 14th and 15th).
Joe's Stone Crabs, previously mentioned, is a must if you can.

Thanks!
News Cafe looks like a good place to drink some coffee and or mimosa to start the day. Joe’s is definitely on my radar since it’s been mentioned a bunch.

Barton G for a dinner
Most memorable dining experience in the US I’ve ever had, and I have been traveling all over for work for a large portion of my life

Go to Little Havana and watch the old dudes play dominoes.

The last time I was down there, I ate at Santorini by Georgios, and it was very good. Mediterranean food, of course...

It depends on what you’re looking for. South Beach has more restaurants and things to do but the hotels there are expensive. You’re looking at at least $500/night for a 600-700 sq ft room at any of the big resort hotels. The boutique hotels are cheaper, but the rooms are way smaller and don’t have many amenities. It all depends on your budget and what you’re willing to spend.
The problem with Miami is that any nice resort that’s worth a shite is always overpriced due to the sheer volume of tourists that flock there. That goes for pretty much every single area of Miami Beach.

I think this is good advice. We did one trip and stayed in a classic art deco south beach hotel. It was nice, but small and noisy.
Restaurants I like in no order:
1. Stubborn seed - set menu
2. Toni sushi - non pretentious, very good classic sushi place
3. Machliana - simple but great Italian
4. Mila - so hot right now
I didn’t think little Havana was worth the trip. Wynwood walls is cool. You can rent citi bikes and bike across the bridge right into downtown and it’s a pretty cool way to see the area. Uber back.

If you want great Cuban take an Uber to Sazon in South Beach. Great food and drinks and big portions. Get tostones or croquettes for an appetizer and share an entree. I’m a lechon asado, ropa vieja and vaca frita guy depending on my mood.
