The Restaurant at Grand Beach Hotel Miami Beach

""Huge" accommodations featuring two marble bathrooms, two flat-screens, sleeper sofas and floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing "great" views of the bay or the Downtown skyline win "high marks" from fans of this "beautiful", "kid-friendly" all-suiter (which hosts in-pool family movies on Fridays but also provides a "wonderful" adults-only tranquility pool); perks include an on-site restaurant serving French-inspired dishes and a pet-friendly policy"

"Few dining options are within walking distance, but there is a full-service restaurant on-site and a small bar in the lobby"

"The main pool area lies in the median zone between the beach and restaurant, a perfect position for most"

"If you want to check out the glitz and glam, South Beach is just a few miles away and easily reached by taxi, but a slew of more casual (and cheaper) restaurants can be found within walking distance on 41st Street: Café Avanti does Italian-style seafood and wine while the Latin Café offers good-value breakfasts as well as fresh juices and smoothies"
