Miami Travel Forum

Hi!

#1 I am going on a cruise in October and needed a hotel for the Friday night before. I would like the hotel to be close enough to the beach and nightlife; we would like something affordable or cheap, but not sleazy. Also,how far away is that area from where we embark on the cruise? What is the best way to get to the cruise, should we arrange it with the ship or get there on our own?

#2 I would love to experience Miami nightlife, but am not really into posh clubs or scenes. I want to have a great time, drink, listen to music, eat great food, but in a more casual environment. What do you recommend?

#3 We might be there on Halloween if we stay the saturday night we get in from our cruise; what do you recommend?

Thanks!!!

Hello:

I have been traveling to Miami often. In fact being my favorite city, I always try to find information on Miami. There are many hotels which you can use but based on your requirement and event of cruise. I would say you might need a hotel somewhere in the center close to Airport and Downtown.

If you live close to downtown, you will be in center of South Beach, Port of Miami and Bay Side... Also, you can travel to Coconut Grove, one of the nice hang out place at Miami. I love the small bar in the Coco village inside the mall next to the Movie theater.

In the evening there will be a DJ and singer as well. I found one useful article on Miami airport hotel, it might be useful to find out the right place to stay. I think these hotels are also offering free shuttle service to Port of Miami, so considering your cruise trip it might be helpful.
