    Default South Beach Miami vacation

    I was thinking about going to Miami for a vacation, but after reading the "I hate Florida" thread I may want to reconsider. I've never been to Miami. I've always wanted to go. Should I check it out, or would you go somewhere else?
    I was thinking about going in April or May.

    Thanks.

    South Beach can be fun to visit. IF you are going just on vaca and not planning to work.

    Expect HIGH prices and a mix of ghetto,gay(theres a HUGE homosexual population in South Beach..its actually the best part IMO!), and pretentious.

    Its not bad here in April/May..after that I wouldnt recommend it..summer is BRUTALLY hot. And since you walk a lot in South Beach you will really feel the heat and humidity.

    There are some places that are pricey but worth it,like the Spa in the Mandarin Oriental(if you can afford it,the hotel itself is gorgeous). I havent had the pleasure, but I know people who have and they rave how wonderfully indulgent it is.

    Coming just for a vacation would be fun. It also helps if you know spanish or french.

    OOOh, Cameron! That looks nice!

    My mother has offered to pay for my vacation, but I don't want to take advantage of her. She can pay for my airfare and hotel, and maybe I can splurge on this place for my last night there.

    I don't mind homosexuals at all but I do want to avoid ghetto areas, as I will be going solo and want to stay safe.

    Damn I should hustle it up at work. I really want to stay here!!!

    Me gusta hablar espanol.

    And no, no workie for me. This is just all about play play play!!

    I haven't really been much to Miami but I live near Fort Lauderdale, and I think that's a lot of fun to visit. I don't like living here but I always had a really good time vacationing here and when I do move away, I'll be back for visits.

    I absolutely love going to South Beach for vacation. If you can afford it, check out the Setai. www.setai.com It's absolutely beautiful, me and my girls had the best time there a few months ago.

    But be prepared to walk...ALOT. That's not too fun, and yes everything is expensive. But it's worth it!!

    Hmm...I think it may be time to go back! I'm needing a girls trip.

    Be careful walking anywhere alone at night..esp Lincoln Road.

    As a vacation spot Florida is great!

    As far as safe places in South Beach....I really wouldn't go anywhere alone...but that's just me, I'm a big chicken

    If I were you I would go to Key West for my vacation over Miami.

    I feel so sheltered reading all of this! LoL I live in Miami (on the mainland, not on the beach) but my bf lives on South Beach. I have to say, I absolutely love it here. Most people Ive come across are really friendly. I dont speak enough spanish to say I speak it, but on South Beach its not a problem at all. If you plan to go to Little Havana or Hialeah (on the mainland), then yeah, youd need to know spanish. But I dont suggest you go there.

    Granted, Im not a big club person so I useless for info on that...Im more into live music and tend to run the musicians circuit...so for nitelife, I go to places that play jazz, latin/caribbean funk..that sort of thing.

    Food-wise, it can get pretty expensive, but then there are places that the locals frequrent Ive been to that are excellent for the nights that you really dont want to throw down much cash.

    Even when I was single though, Id go out and have a good time...the bonus to going out single is I never had to pay my own drinks Plus the guys were always really respectful...local guys that is. The tourists are another thing.

    I think you can have a good time...just have in mind some places youd like to go to and plan your hotel around that so that you dont have to walk so much. Theres always taxis too...
