The hype

Trump International Sonesta Be
$215-450/ natt
Boka detta om You want a full-service resort experience with a kitchenette and kids' club without the South Beach chaos.
Varför människor älskar det
- Grotto-style pool with waterfalls and a separate lap pool
- Spacious rooms with kitchenettes or full kitchens
- Direct beach access with lounger service included in resort fee
Snabb Överblick: A solid, family-heavy condo-hotel that delivers on amenities but charges steep fees for everything from parking to breakfast.
Recenserat av @ingaw18: I stayed in this high-floor suite and the ocean views completely blew me away. Waking up to that endless blue horizon and having coffee on the massive balcony was the highlight of my Miami trip. The interior is comfy, but that view is the real luxury.
