i was at south beach last week and the women down there are just unreal. flesh everywhere! fantastic food too, a must if you go is to have dinner on ocean drive on the walk way and just enjoy the sights. nikki beach is the beach area that you want to be at. 2nd and ocean. grouper fishing in the gulf of mexico i also highly endorse. also if you drink, the south beach of choice is the mohito, all alcohol with cane sugar at the bottom. fantastic!!!!!
Ocean is ok, but IMO overrated (compared to Newbury, Rodeo and Fifth)..... The beach is obviously the gem of Ocean, and if I had my choice I'd go to Lincoln Square over Ocean, for shopping. There is a lot of scum on Ocean drive, which takes away from the hot ass all over the place. that said, Miami is one of the worlds best destinations.
I love the Raleigh, imo, its the best hotel in Miami. Love the art deco vibe, and the grounds are UNREAL.
If you go to Miami, you must have dinner at Barton G's, the deserts are wild! Also, I think Opium Garden is the best club on South Beach.
