During your Miami vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:
Miami Seaquarium
If you've been to Orlando's SeaWorld, you may be disappointed with Miami's version, which is considerably smaller and not as well maintained. It's hardly a sprawling seaquarium, but you will want to arrive early to enjoy the effects of its mild splash. You'll need at least 3 hours to tour the 35-acre oceanarium and see all four daily shows starring a number of showy ocean mammals. You can cut your visit to 2 hours if you limit your shows to the better, albeit corny, Flipper Show and Killer Whale Show. The highly regarded Water and Dolphin Exploration Program (WADE) allows visitors to touch and swim with dolphins in the Flipper Lagoon. The program costs $140 per person participating, $32 per observer, and is offered twice daily, at noon and 3:30pm, 7 days a week. Children must be at least 52 inches tall to participate. Reservations are necessary for this program. Call tel. 305/365-2501 in advance for reservations.
Biltmore Hotel Tour
Take advantage of these free Sunday walking tours to enjoy the hotel's beautiful grounds. The Biltmore is chock-full of history and mystery, including a few ghosts; go out there and see for yourself. In addition, there are also free weekly fireside sessions that are open to the public and presented by Miami Storytellers. Learn about the hotel's early days and rich stories of the city's past. These wonderful sessions are held in the main lobby by the fireplace and are accompanied by a glass of champagne. Call ahead to confirm.
Heritage Miami II Topsail Schooner
This relaxing ride aboard Miami's only tall ship is a fun way to see the city, since it's on a schooner (as opposed to the other tour company's cruising boats), which gives you more of a feel of the water. The 2-hour cruise passes by Villa Vizcaya, Coconut Grove, and Key Biscayne and puts you in sight of Miami's spectacular skyline and island homes. Call to make sure the ship is running on schedule. On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings, there are 1-hour tours to see the lights of the city, for $15 per person.
Grove Isle Club and Resort
Hidden away in the bougainvillea and lushness of the Grove, the Grove Isle Resort is off the beaten path on its own lushly landscaped 20-acre island, just outside the heart of Coconut Grove. The isolated exclusivity of this resort contributes to a country club vibe, though, for the most part, the people here aren't snooty; they just value their privacy and precious relaxation time. Everyone dresses in white and pastels, and if they're not on their way to a set of tennis, they're not in a rush to get anywhere. You'll step into suites that are elegantly furnished with mosquito-netted canopy beds and a patio overlooking the bay. You'll need to reserve early here -- rooms go very fast. Baleen, a fantastic yet pricey haute cuisinerie, serves fresh seafood and other regional specialties in a spectacular, elegant dining room, or, better yet, outside on the water.
Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove
The third and smallest of Miami's Ritz-Carlton hotels opened with a quiet splash in fall 2002, and it is hands down the most intimate of its properties, surrounded by 2 acres of tropical gardens and overlooking Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline. Decorated in an Italian Renaissance design, the hotel's understated luxury is a welcome addition to an area known for its gaudiness. In addition to the usual Ritz-Carlton standard of service and comfort, the hotel has an excellent, extremely elegant restaurant (with footstools for women to put their purses on, how classy!), Biscaya Grill, whose executive chef, Willis Loughhead, hails from South Beach's much friskier (and since he left, less stellar) Tantra restaurant.
Trump International Sonesta Beach Resort
Donald, Donald, Donald, what were you thinking when you opened this uninspiring 32-story, 390-room beach resort? Yes, the Trump International sits on a prime piece of beachfront property, but I've seen rooms in Holiday Inns that have more personality than these. Completely bland with no style whatsoever, the Trump International is a folly of massive proportions. With a cavernous, blasé lobby in which you can hear a pin drop, a restaurant that looks like a common room ripped out of an old Catskills resort (and not updated), and views of T-shirt shops and Denny's, this hotel is a travesty. That's really all I can say. And it's not made better with the tacky digital sign out front trying to entice people inside. Maybe, with an emphasis on the maybe, if there were a casino in here, it would justify a stay. Otherwise, it's just more vanity fare for the egomaniacal developer who seems to think that bigger is always better.
