The Top 5 Amenities of a Miami Beach Hotel

på


Miami Beach is fast becoming one of the top vacation destinations for families and travelers alike.  Miami Beach offers sun, fun and a variety of activities to choose from.  No that you have decided to vacation in Miami Beach, it is time to choose the hotel that you will reside in for your vacation.  With a plethora of hotel options how does one pick the perfect Miami Beach hotel?  A good way to choose a hotel is by the amenities that the hotel has to offer.  One of the biggest disappointments that I have encountered is getting to a hotel and expecting a service that the hotel does not offer.  With all the travel tools that are available on the web, you can do a little research before you go to make sure you get what you want.  Listed below are what I feel are the top 5 amenities that a hotel can offer to you and your family to make your accommodation choice perfect for you.

#1 Amenity - Beach Access and Pool
When you are in Miami you are there for a reason.  Chances are you are there to have fun on the beach.  Many hotels in Miami have beach access right at the hotel.  While some don't, chances are there is a beach not far, usually within walking distance from the hotel.  When it comes to beach access, determine how much time you will be spending on the beach, and how long you want to travel to get to one.  Another consideration is cost.  Hotels that have private beach access tend to be more expensive than hotels that don't. 

When choosing a Miami Beach hotel, consider whether or not you would like the hotel to have a pool, and make sure that the pool is open.  Hotels do go through renovations and sometimes they don't list whether the pool is open while you are there.  It can ruin a vacation if the kids want to go to the pool and you find out it is closed due to renovation while you are there.  A hotel may list that they have a poll on their website, but it is still a good ides to give the hotel a call to make sure the pool will be open while you are there.

#2 Amenity - Onsite Dining
While it is nice to experience dining outside your hotel, sometimes vacationing can make you tired and you may not want to leave your hotel.  When choosing a hotel, check to see what kind of dining options the hotel offers.  Some hotels offer only 1 or 2 choices for dining, while others offer an assortment of options.  Many of the hotels offer fine dining in the evening so it might be good to check on what type of attire is suitable for this type of restaurant. 

#3 Amenity - Spa and/or Health Club
Many Hotels today offer an onsite spa or fitness center.  If you are looking to pamper yourself while you are on vacation, check into these choices.  While some hotels offer onsite spas and fitness centers, others offer affiliate programs.  These programs offer discounts to nearby spas or fitness centers.  A lot of times when a spa is offsite the hotel will provide transportation.  It is still a good idea to check with the hotel to see what they do and do not offer in regards to a spa and health club.  Many hotels also offer spa packages or specials that are included in the packages, so check into this and save some money by booking it all together.

#4 Amenity - Children's Activities
Miami Beach is a great family destination.  When choosing a hotel, make sure it offers something for everyone.  Many hotels offer things for children, such as a kiddy pool and playground equipment.  Others offer activities for older children such as table games and arcades right in the hotel.  Check these out before you go to make sure the whole family is happy.

#5 Amenity - Onsite Entertainment
Many hotels offer entertainment right at the hotel.  This can be a major consideration when booking a room.  While many people enjoy the onsite entertainment some people don't.  Check to see what kind of entertainment the hotel offers, and what time it ends.  If events end later than you would like, and you still like the hotel, request a room away from the area where the entertainment or event is being held.  If onsite entertainment is your thing, it is a good idea to talk with the hotel's concierge to get a list of events going on at the hotel.

Every Miami Beach Hotel offers something a little bit different.  Before choosing one, consider the above amenities and others that I have not mentioned before planning your next vacation.  View the hotel's website as well as other online sources to see what other guests have said about the hotel you are thinking about.

Cheap Airline Tickets: Great Ways To Save

A round-the-world trip remains the world's greatest journey. For two out of every three people, this is the ultimate travel experience, according to recent research. Needless to say, in a world obsessed by travel, travelers and travel agents are both looking for the cheapest tickets and airfares available.

Cheap airline tickets, in most cases, can be obtained from wholesale dealers and discounters.

If your requirements are simple - you want a round-trip ticket from one place to another, you have a particular airline on your mind and you have definite dates; then you can go directly to the source - to the ticket discount agency which buys cheap tickets in bulk from wholesalers and consolidators.

In real life most trips require more planning, and most people need a help from the agent to figure out what would be the best air ticket solution for their particular case. Cheap airfares to a particular region can often be found with local airlines that specialize in that country. Sometimes an agency that operates and retails tours to a particular country will have a discount agreement with the national carrier and will sell discount tickets on that airline.

With a bit of research through travel magazines aimed at the particular country of your choice, you can often find agencies dealing with national carriers for that country. For the cheapest possible airfare to many places the most affordable prices are often found in local travel agencies that deal with a particular destination selling round-trip discount airline flights - most likely to the capital of that country and a few main cities.

Sometimes you can find a really cheap air ticket with a discount retail agency that specializes in trips to a wider range of destinations or to multiple destinations. Through the sheer number of tickets that they sell they can command a reasonable discount. However, keep in mind that most advertised prices do not include taxes, luggage fee and airport tax, so the cheap airfare may end up being not so cheap. Best to read the small print to clarify exactly what you are getting before you purchase a ticket.

Another trick of the trade is for agencies to grab attention by indicating the lowest possible prices, which only apply on specific dates in low season. You’ll find that all agencies do this, even the most expensive ones so, don’t be surprised if you get a quote at double the price from what was displayed in the ad.

Airlines usually publish their scheduled flights and prices six months in advance. If you have decided on a destination it can be a good opportunity to get an ‘early bird’ discount by booking well in advance. Keep your eye on the travel press and also airline web-sites. There are often special discounts and incentives aimed at travelers who book online, as carrying out a booking online is cheaper for the company than through an intermediary who will take a commission.

However, although you can expect to get the cheapest air ticket if you start searching many months ahead, there are some exceptions. At times like Christmas or other periods of high demand the prices are usually inflated and planes fill up many months in advance. If you can be flexible and travel on actual holiday days such as Christmas day or New Years Eve you can find some pretty attractive discounts.


Pick A Hotel With Personality!

What does individuality mean in the hotel industry? As far as boutiques are concerned, it’s not just about being a little bit quirky; hanging modern art on the walls, sticking some designer chairs in the rooms or making all the fittings stainless steel. It’s about a design theme that runs through the hotel from start to finish and affects everything from the cushions on the sofas to the dessert menu in the restaurant.

Location

Where does the inspiration for this individuality and personality come from? For some hoteliers, it comes from the location. It’s unsurprising that boutique beach hotels are clean and simple, bringing the colours and textures of the coast into the building and using architectural design to allow guests to feel at one with the sea; large windows, folding doors and seawater pools for example. In contrast, small hotels that are based in cities often reflect either the present-day energy or the historic past of their location. Through the use of rich colours or minimal materials, antique furniture, period art and a variety of textiles, designers can create a hotel that truly reflects its location.

Culture

Many hotels show influences from different cultures – and not always from the culture that’s readily associated with the hotel’s location. Therefore, New England simplicity or Asian colours and textures can show up in hotels in London or Sydney and work well, as long as the concept is properly thought through and sensitively carried out. Extending a cultural theme to rooms and cuisine often requires a lot of research, particularly when it comes to sourcing the right furniture and accessories, but if the end result is a truly individual hotel, then the preparation is worthwhile.

Community

A true boutique hotel becomes an intrinsic part of the local community, and this is part of its individuality. Chain hotels are just places to stay; boutique hotels are places to be – whether it is locals using the restaurant or trendy city workers drinking in the bar; using the produce from the farm down the road or sharing spa facilities with a local retreat, boutique hotels make a real effort to integrate into their local community rather than being set apart from it.
