During your Miami vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Coral Castle
There's plenty of competition, but Coral Castle is probably the strangest attraction in Florida. In 1923, the story goes, a 26-year-old crazed Latvian, suffering from unrequited love of a 16-year-old who left him at the altar, immigrated to South Miami and spent the next 25 years of his life carving huge boulders into a prehistoric-looking roofless "castle." It seems impossible that one rather short man could have done all this, but there are scores of affidavits on display from neighbors who swear it happened. Apparently, experts have studied this phenomenon to help figure out how the Great Pyramids and Stonehenge were built. Rocker Billy Idol was said to have been inspired by this place to write his song "Sweet 16." An interesting 25-minute audio tour guides you through the spot, now in the National Register of Historic Places. Although Coral Castle is overpriced and undermaintained, it's worth a visit when in the area, which is about 37 miles from Miami.
United in Elián House
It was only a matter of time. After Elián González was rescued from a raft off the coast of Fort Lauderdale in November 1999, he lived in this modest, now famous, Little Havana house with relatives for 5 months before being reunited with his father and returned to Cuba in a storm of controversy. For Cuban nationals, the house became a shrine and the boy became a symbol for their struggle. There are collages of Elián all over the house; there's also trash in the yard as if someone still actually lives there. Apparently there was no time to clean up before the throngs of curiosity seekers came and the place was turned into a museum. Visitors receive a sticker with "the picture" of when the boy was seized by Federal marshals and returned to his father -- a day of infamy in Cuban-American history. See where Elián lived, played, breathed, and ate. See Elián's toys. See where the international media camped out for 5 months. See where relatives cried for the cameras. You get the picture.
Fast Cats Ferry Service
Finally, a ferry that goes from Miami to Key West. It's about time. The PurrSeavearance may be a cheesy name for a luxury $7.5 million catamaran, but the trip is hardly so. The 102-foot boat can hold up to 149 passengers and will make the 4-hour cruise (driving only takes 3 hr., but with traffic it can take up to 5) four times a week starting at $69 each way. VIP tickets cost $98 and include preferential seating. Food and alcoholic beverages are available but not included in the price.
Wyndham Grand Bay Hotel
Grand in size and stature, the Grand Bay Hotel looks like it belongs in Acapulco with its ziggurat structure and tropical landscaping, but once you see the massive bright red sculpture/structure done by late Condé Nast editorial director Alexander Lieberman in the driveway, you know you're not in Mexico. Ultraluxurious, the Grand Bay is quietly elegant, and, as a result, has hosted the likes of privacy fanatics such as Michael Jackson. British singer George Michael filmed his "Careless Whisper" video here because of its sweeping views of Biscayne Bay. Rooms are superb, with views of the bay and the Coconut Grove Marina, and they're decorated in soft peach tones with a country French theme. Bathrooms are equally luxurious. Service is outstanding, and the clientele ranges from families to international jet-setters. Bice, a sublime northern Italian restaurant, is the hotel's most popular dining option.
Conrad Miami
Although you won't find ubiquitous Hilton heiresses Paris and Nicky at this business oriented hotel (they hang out on South Beach), you will find luxury-lovers who have no interest in minimalism and J-Lo spottings and, instead, prefer to bask in the Hilton brand of luxury. The Conrad Miami joins its London, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Brussels, and New York siblings in the form of this 203-room, 36-floor skyscraper located in the heart of Miami's financial district, which opened in January 2004. While at first you may feel as if you're in an office building, once you walk over the bridge across a sparkling pool, visions of cramped cubicles and bad lighting will immediately disappear. The lobby is located on the 26th floor, which is illuminated by a magnificent atrium that shares the attention with a restaurant, lounge, and bar and splits the difference between the 203-guest rooms and the 116 fully serviced luxury apartments. All rooms feature hyper-high-tech amenities such as flatscreen TVs, and, best of all, INNCOM, a bedside remote that controls all lights, thermostat, and do not disturb signs in the room. Because this is a condo-hotel, expect nothing but the best in amenities, including a superbly-equipped fitness center, two tennis courts, and a remarkable swimming pool. Also set to open is an upscale retail center, with stores in which only the likes of the Hilton sisters can afford to shop.
Ocean Point Resort & Club
If you drive too quickly past this sleek building, you may wrongly assume it's yet another condo, adding to the growing area's canyon of high-priced residences. Luckily for you, it's not, but the 166 all-suite luxury resort is so nice, you may just want to move in. The first resort to open in the Sunny Isles area of Miami Beach in 30 years, Ocean Point loses a star only because of its Sunny Isles location (not exactly a hotbed of activity). However, it is a short drive from Aventura shopping and South Beach nightlife, if, in fact, you feel the need to go elsewhere for entertainment. With Ocean Point, you may not. Rooms are all done up a la condos -- with studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom floor plans. The rooms are quite luxurious, with 220-thread-count linens, a huge bathroom (with Jacuzzi tub), and kitchenettes. The European Health Spa has the usual menu of services as well as informative lectures. Tai chi on the beach and poolside treatments will have you wondering if working out is such a chore. Kids' programs are impressive as well, as are the well-heeled, savvy staff, the landscaped gardens, beach club, and pool with waterfalls.
