Wyndham Miami Beach Resort, Miami Beach

Open daily from mid morning till late evening, this Art Deco-style cocktail lounge offers specialty drinks, a Friday happy hour, and scheduled live entertainment - Casual-chic dining and libations at "Zee Pool Lounge". Located poolside with daybeds, ottomans, and private cabana tents, this casual spot offers music, grill menu, and bar service for drinks, lunch, and dinner.

Advantages: Quite handy if you're actually staying in Miami
Disadvantages: The list is endless!

On a geographical location of 26º North, and therefore benefiting from almost constant year-round sunshine, many of the world’s rich and famous have chosen the place as their second home, buying beachside real-estate for millions.
