During your Miami vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
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.
Miami Design Preservation League
On Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings, the Design Preservation League sponsors walking tours that offer a fascinating inside look at the city's historic Art Deco District. Tour-goers meet for a 1 1/2-hour walk through some of America's most exuberantly "architectured" buildings. The league led the fight to designate this area a National Historic District and is proud to share the splendid locale with visitors.
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.
Hotel Nash
Bridging the gap between the hypertrendy and schlocky hotels often found on South Beach, the Hotel Nash is a rarity in that it boasts both style and substance. Located a block from the beach and behind the infamous Versace mansion, the Nash is housed in a 1930s Deco structure, which received an $11 million renovation. The result is a soothing, almost therapeutic hotel in which the scents of aromatherapy seep into every room and public space on the property. An aromatic indoor garden of jasmine, bougainvillea, star anise, and cypress, three tiny yet intimate pools -- freshwater, saltwater, and mineral water -- and possibly the best restaurant on the beach -- Mark's South Beach -- are permanent fixtures in this beautiful hotel. Rooms overlook either the city or the Versace mansion observatory. Ricky Martin chose the Nash's penthouse as the site to host a private dinner party, but don't expect to see any celebrities here -- the Hotel Nash is not about scene. In fact, it's not even on the hipster radar as far as hangouts are concerned, which, for some, is a blissful thing. The best room in the house (that's not a penthouse) is the duplex suite, a tri-level room with sitting area downstairs, second-floor bedroom, and third-floor terrace.
Silver Sands Beach Resort
If Key Biscayne is where you want to be and you don't want to pay the prices of the Ritz or Sonesta next door, consider this quaint one-story motel. Everything is crisp and clean, and the pleasant staff will help with anything you may need, including babysitting. But despite the name, it's certainly no resort. Except for the beach and pool, you'll have to leave the premises for almost everything else, including food. The well-appointed rooms are very beachy, sporting a tropical motif and simple furnishings. Oceanfront suites have the added convenience of full kitchens, with stoves and pantries. You'll sit poolside with an unpretentious set of Latin-American families and Europeans who have come for a long and simple vacation -- and get it.
The Creek
This funky and arty hostel-like hotel, formerly known as the Banana Bungalow, is cheap, campy, and quintessentially Miami Beach. Popular with the MTV set, The Creek is a redone (to the tune of $1 million that provoked the hotel to challenge other renovations, saying "Bob Villa is a wuss.") 1950s two-story motel where it's always Spring Break. The hotel's clever website humanizes the hotel, saying it "Thinks it's in an episode of Playboy's Penthouse," but also calls it a Jetsonian space age hotel. The Creek is one of those that you have to see to fully appreciate, but in the wise words of the hotel itself, "Why does style and cool and fun have to cost you $400 a night? The Creek is a laid back, kick your feet up on the table, hunker down for a cold beverage, relax in the sun, chow down on a burger type place."The lobby is a retro fabulous homage to the '50s. Contradictions at the Creek abound, which makes the place all the more amusing and ironic. The hotel surrounds an 8,000-square-foot pool deck complete with underwater music, top of the line DJ equipment, and a fully stocked, 40-foot open air bar where everyone hangs out. Oh, and you'll also find a Ms. Pac Man video game, a theater with movies available for viewing at the front desk, a guest kitchen, and a dining room.There are three types of rooms here: The Waterway Standard, no frills rooms that face a narrow canal where motorboats and kayaks are available for a small charge; the noisier Cabana Room, which opens to the pool deck (which boasts a serious sound system that the hotel turns off around midnight); and the Signature Rooms, 18 "altered living spaces" designed by artists and on the second floor facing the pool deck. I highly recommend the Signature Rooms in terms of decor and privacy, something you won't have if you face out onto the buzzing pool deck. There also happen to be 25 shared rooms with 4 to 6 bunk beds for backpackers on a serious budget.
