...Ave) is situated past North Miami Beach, near Ojus, and represents something between a two-star hotel and a motel. It was full of French and German elderly couples, actually faced the beach and was quite old and not very comfortable. Everything was old: the curtains was old, the sheets were old, the neighbours were old, and even the staff was not very young. Deceived by the accommodation, we decided to plan our guided tours. The first idea was to ...

Miami, has finaly managed to shake off the negative image it once had, and thank-god.I am so glad I went and would definatley go back.

We stayed in the North Beach area and found it pretty easy to get around with local transport although I would recommend that if you dont have a car to stay in South Beach where all the action is. It takes about 40 minutes by bus to get the South. We were only in Miami for 4 days but did as many of the touristy things as possible. If you have been to Orlando already and visited Seaworld then dont ...
...up from Hotels. Miami is also a great place to shop. There is Sawgrass Mills which is one of the largest discount outlets in America or Aventura Mall which is one of the biggest shopping malls, it has a cinema and plenty of places to eat.
