raitch Posted February 16, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Looking to stay in the Miami area for 2-3 nights before our August cruise. Kids are 16, 12 & 7 and will prioritize swimming over breathing so pool or beach is a big plus. Any recommendations? Willing to branch out to the Ft Lauderdale area as well if there’s a great place... thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a nice pool area, a cool bar area and free breakfast. Also you are within walking distance to many shops and restaurants. It is a very safe, clean area that is also near the rail system that can take you all around Miami. You will be about 10-15 min from the port. You can Uber, taxi or take their shuttle which is $8 per person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted February 16, 2020 #3 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Second Hampton Brickell. One of the best Hamptons we have ever stayed in, and we have stayed in a good number. And agree the location is great. Plus they have a shuttle to the port. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted February 16, 2020 #4 Share Posted February 16, 2020 For the beach you will need to stay in Miami Beach - South Beach is the most popular and closest to the port. Not many Miami hotels will not have a pool, so anywhere downtown will work. Besides the above suggestion check out the Intercontinental, Doubletree, next door Marriott and the Holiday Inn - all offer some rooms with a view of the port. The pool at the Doubletree is amazing. If you are flying into FLL and choose to stay in that area pre-cruise check out www.sunny.org for lots of hotel and tourist info. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We intend to fly into MiamI but if there was an amazing option near FLL we would make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohninDC Posted February 16, 2020 #6 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Sort of in between, in Hollywood, there is the Margaritaville resort. 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flymia Posted February 17, 2020 #7 Share Posted February 17, 2020 In August I would check out to see if you can get a good rate to one of the larger hotels in Miami Beach like the Fontainebleau. Hampton Inn Brickell is a good choice, so is Intercontinental Miami. Plenty of other options. Almost any large hotel in Miami will have a pool. Or stay in Miami Beach and walk to the beach.
