During your Miami vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Murder, Mystery and Mayhem Bus Tour
Visit the past by video and bus to Miami-Dade's most celebrated crimes and criminals from the 1800s to the present. From the murder spree of the Ashley Gang to the most notorious murders and crimes of our century, including the murder of designer Gianni Versace, historian Paul George conducts a most fascinating 3-hour tour of scandalous proportions.
Barnacle State Historic Site
The former home of naval architect and early settler Ralph Middleton Munroe is now a museum in the heart of Coconut Grove. It's the oldest house in Miami and it rests on its original foundation, which sits on 5 acres of hardwood and landscaped lawns. The house's quiet surroundings, wide porches, and period furnishings illustrate how Miami's first snowbird lived in the days before condo-mania and luxury hotels. Enthusiastic and knowledgeable state park employees offer a wealth of historical information to those interested in quiet, low-tech attractions like this one. Call for details on the fabulous monthly moonlight concerts during which folk, blues, or classical music is presented and picnicking is encouraged.
Monkey Jungle
Personally, I think this place is disgusting. It reeks, the monkeys are either sleeping or in heat, and it's really far from the city, even farther than the zoo. But if primates are your thing and you'd rather pass on the zoo, you'll be in paradise. You'll see rare Brazilian golden lion tamarins and Asian macaques. There are no cages to restrain the antics of the monkeys as they swing, chatter, and play their way into your heart. Screened-in trails wind through acres of "jungle," and daily shows feature the talents of the park's most progressive pupils. People who go here are not monkeying around -- many of the park's frequent visitors are scientists and anthropologists. In fact, an interesting archaeological exhibition excavated from a Monkey Jungle sinkhole displays 10,000 year old artifacts including human teeth and animal bones. A somewhat amusing attraction here, if you can call it that, is the Wild Monkey Swimming Pool, a show in which you get to watch Sea Monkeys diving for food. If you can stand the humidity, the smell, and the bugs (flies, mosquitoes, and so on), expect to spend about 2 hours here. The park's website sometimes offers downloadable discount coupons, so if you have Internet access, take a look before you visit.
The Ritz-Carlton South Beach
The luxe life comes to a congested and somewhat seedy corner of South Beach in the form of this beachfront, lushly landscaped Ritz-Carlton. Debuting in the fall of 2003, this Ritz has restored the landmark Morris Lapidus-designed 1950s DiLido Hotel to its original Art Moderne style and filled it with the hotel's signature five-star service. Far from ostentatious, the Ritz-Carlton's South Beach property moves away from gilded opulence in favor of the more soothing pastel-washed touches of Deco. An impressive $2 million art collection consisting of original works by Joan Miro, among others, will be on permanent loan to the hotel from Diana Lowenstein Fine Art, which also happens to have a gallery in the hotel (Mrs. Lowenstein is a principal owner of The Ritz-Carlton South Beach). Though South Beach is better known for its trendy boutique hotels, the Ritz-Carlton offers comfort to those who might prefer 100% cotton Frette sheets and goose-down pillows to high-style minimalism. The best rooms, by far, are the 72 poolside and oceanview lanai rooms. Why choose club level rooms and hibernate inside, indulging in five food and drink courses all day, when you could be outside enjoying the stunning views? Oh yeah, and there's also a tanning butler who will spritz you with SPF and water whenever you want.With impeccable service, an elevated pool that provides unobstructed views of the Atlantic, an impressive stretch of sand with a fabulous beach club run by Michael Capponi (Miami Beach's most popular promoter), an oceanfront Ritz Kids pavilion, and a world-class 13,000-square-foot spa and wellness center, the Ritz-Carlton kicks sand in the faces of some of the smaller hotels that think they're doing you a favor by allowing you to sleep there. Plus, for those with kids in tow, they have the Ritz Kids program for kids ages 5 through 12, which features supervised activities, movies, beach excursions, and more.
Sheraton Bal Harbour Beach Resort
This hotel has the best location in Bal Harbour, on the ocean and just across from the swanky Bal Harbour Shops. Everyone from the New York Yankees to Bill and Hillary Clinton have stayed here, and Bill even jogged along the beach with local fitness enthusiasts. It's one of the nicest Sheratons I've seen, with a glass-enclosed two-story atrium lobby that's especially welcoming. A spectacular staircase wraps itself around a cascading fountain full of wished-on pennies. A lushly landscaped pool area reminds you of an island resort, and a waterslide will keep the kids occupied while you work on your tan. Speaking of kids, a maximum of four children through the age of 17 stay free in existing bedding with at least one adult. Rooms are large and fairly standard as far as Sheratons are concerned, with the exception of oceanview rooms, which have balconies. Make sure to ask for a free coupon book with over $800 in savings at the Bal Harbour Shops.Facilities: 4 restaurants; lounges; 2 outdoor heated pools (1 kids' pool); nearby golf course; 2 outdoor tennis courts; large state-of-the-art health club and spa; watersports equipment; children's programs; game room; concierge; tour desk; business center; shopping arcade; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning.
Chesterfield Hotel
The Chesterfield Hotel is an oft-overlooked kitschy place, located in the heart of South Beach's Deco District, just a skip away from all the restaurants on Ocean Drive or the nightclubs on Washington Avenue. Its Zimbabwe-meets-baroque lobby is a far cry from its original 1930s Art Deco beginnings, but it remains an attractive place for funk-loving hipsters. A recent renovation to the 50 rooms added a luxe touch, with Frette linens and robes; down feather pillows; Judith Jackson spa amenities; and wood, chrome, and glass accents. Bathrooms are industrial, with free-floating showers with rainmaker showerheads, concrete sinks on aluminum stands, and mirrored walls. A new full-service spa features yoga and Pilates. The hotel's Safari Bar/Café is now a full-service restaurant and caters to both a European and an alternative crowd and turns into a spot for a quaint Euro continental breakfast in the morning. There's also a happy hour each evening from 7 to 8pm, with free cocktails. The hotel's proximity to area clubs and modeling agencies, and its ability to create its own eclectic nightlife, make the Chesterfield an award-worthy locale for people-watching.
