Fontainebleau Miami Beach
Very nice hotel, but for how much it cost, it would be nice to have something included. Everything carried its own fee, and they wouldn’t even let us eat their own food in the lobby bar.

Loews Miami Beach Hotel – South Beach
Very irked about how much we paid per night and that beach umbrellas cost additional money, kind of tacky. Also despite our room being all the way at the end of the hall, the walls were thin and we heard both children and adults yelling at each other starting fairly early in the morning.
