we stayed here for our last cruise: https://www.marriott.com/en-us/hotels/miaac-ac-hotel-miami-beach/overview/. It was...fine? There was a pool area but I didn't see a lot of shade or umbrellas up there so we didn't use the space. The bar was very much a hotel bar - kinda lackluster. 

After leaving the hotel, we had a few minutes so we stopped here for a drink. They have a nice little bar/taqueria near the lobby. It looks stylish, prices seem reasonable: https://staygenerator.com/hostels/miami?lang=en-GB

Thank you

I did.  We are very excited . We are sailing on the Valiant Lady on October 30th.  Any info on this ship and Virgin sailings would help me. It is my first sailing on the Virgin Cruise lines.  Any suggestions for hotels in Miami close to the Port?  Thank you everybody .
