Hotels near Miami Seaplane Base - MPB, Miami

So different from everyday life with wonderful weather & exceptional views. Loved the shopping & also strolling round the waterfront at Bayside. All the people we came into contact with (including a lot of uber drivers) were so helpful & friendly. We stayed a few days prior to a cruise & a day after.

Miami Beach, as the name suggests, is great to enjoy time at the beach. It is great for partying, eating and drinking though the service charges are high. There are a lot of restaurants with options for different cuisines. The beach is very nice and clean and the right water temperature. The kids would love it.

My family had a layover in Miami, we explored the Wynwood walls and the area around it, then headed to Little Havana and had a lovely stroll on Calle Ocho. Given the limted time, we saw quiet a lot and the overall experience was great!

Unless you just want to sit on the beach or in the pool, don't travel to Miami in summer. It is very hot and humid and very unpleasant to walk around and be a tourist in the summer time in Miami Beach. The beaches are lovely if that's what you like to do, just like the Gold Coast in Australia. Miami Beach is quite a distance from everything.There is a free trolley service to get around, but all the locals use it and it gets very crowded when it is knock off time. We used Lyft or Uber to get around but none of the drivers speak English. There are no cafes, supermarkets or reasonably priced restaurants around the hotel. So if you want to eat locally the only options are inside each of the hotels and everything is $$$

I only go to Miami just to get a flight. Miami is not nice at all for me. Super expensive and not worth it. As you go out of Miami towards Aventura I like it more, and if going to Fort Lauderdale much better. Also I prefer to go to Naples, this place is paradise, but Miami is not nice at all for me (its almost a caos, full of people and very expensive). the other locations I mention have a better standard at a lower price.

The bike/walking path was excellent for morning workout. The water was fantastic in the evenings and mornings. Lots of restaurants on the other side of the road. Little Havana was fantastic. Gave us a great look into what Cuba would be like. Hand Rolled Cigars and Cuban coffee.
