Post Cruise- Miami Beach or South Beach

[digital_curator]

Hello,

My husband and I are going to spend a few days in Miami after our cruise and we have never been.

Any thoughts on which is better- Miami Beach or South Beach?

Any recommendations for hotels?

Cheers,

Stayed in the Hyatt downtown, was cheap and good room, but deserted at night. Go with South Beach............

I agree with the comments on the Hyatt Downtown but that is in the Downtown area and not in either Miami Beach or South Beach.

It depends upon what you and your husband like to do. South Beach is loaded with bars and restaurants and is very trendy. This isn't my scene but post-cruise we chose t stay in South Beach just to see what the fuss was about.

Miami Beach is a bit more resort oriented.

If i've never done either i'd go with South Beach, but if it's not your 'thing', after that i'd go elsewhere.

LOVED SOUTH BEACH. We have been there 2 times. That's our pre-cruise
place. The beach is beautiful and the excitement is unbelievable!
We love it! We have stayed at the Beacon - which was only $79/night and
it is in a perfect location. We have also stayed at the Hotel Ocean - which was $129 and it was just ok. I love South Beach!

Thanks all for your suggestions:)

We are in the downtown area for our pre-cruise stay (1 night only).

South Beach sounds like fun (I agree thereuare, not quite our scene either, but we mihgt as well check it out.

Beacon lovers- did you book direct or though priceline or through?

Cheers

We are spending 3 days pre-cruise and another night post-cruise in Miami. We are looking at either South Beach or Miami Beach. We are also renting a car for the pre-cruise. Does anybody know if there are any hotels that offer free or reasonably priced on-site parking? Thanks
