Miami Beach Resort details
There’s a distinct tropical atmosphere at this lovely resort, located in a quiet area, overlooking a very private stretch of beach. Miami Beach Resort boasts a huge variety of amenities including an oceanfront Olympic-size swimming pool with concierge service – simply request your towels, snacks or magazines and they’ll be brought to you as you soak up the sun on your comfortable lounger! There are also spa treatments galore to tempt you, and a state-of-the-art fitness centre to keep you in shape. If you fancy trying out those sea legs, there are boats for hire at the private dock or head to the Aqua Sports Centre for water sports of a different kind. Guests also enjoy golf privileges at the nearby 18-hole Miami Beach Golf Club, so don’t forget to play a few rounds! Built in 1963, with its art deco design perfectly in tune with the jet-set glamour of Old Miami, this is the place where Frank Sinatra and Jackie Gleason once held court in the Starlight Room. Today, you can dance the night away in that very same place but not before dining at one of the hotel’s restaurants. Seabreeze Bar & Grill offers wonderful American classics to tuck into or feast on sumptuous island-style cuisine at the Ocean Bar & Bistro.
