Overall the hotel is nice hotel with spacious room. And the food is excellent. From the hotel you can get the beach. They got a overhead bridge direct from the hotel to the beach. Miami beach is a nice place to swim. As usual, you need to take precaution if you're at any beach. In addition, look out for any stingy jellyfish.
