The Pool at The St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort

"Rooms are among Miami's priciest (for good reason); travelers looking for a cheaper alternative should try Fontainebleau Resort, 10 minutes south, which has less impressive rooms but more pools, restaurants, and nightlife"

"Guests rise from 600 thread count sheets to frolic in the ocean, tan their toned torsos by the pool, relax their sore muscles at the Remede spa, and wine and dine in one of four restaurants and bars"

"spa, two infinity pools and a location right across from the upscale Bal Harbour shops"

"Of course, the white sandy beach directly in front of the hotel is a main draw, though the pools (which include one for kids and one for adults only) also offer luxe seating along with thoughtful extras such as complimentary fruit, cucumber water and sun care products"

"Even on busy days, the hotel never feels too crowded: The lobby is an oasis of calm; there’s always an open pool or a beach chair"

"Facilities include a fully equipped business center, fitness center with certified instructors, signature restaurants, wine bar and pool bar and grill"
