Practical tips for hotel guests in Miami
Miami has two seasons: dry (November–April) and wet (May–October). Dry season means higher hotel prices but perfect weather.
South Beach hotels often charge resort fees of $25–45/night on top of the room rate. Check the total before booking.
Cuban coffee (cafecito) is a must. Order a cortadito from any local ventanita (walk-up window) — it's strong, sweet, and costs about $2.
Uber and Lyft are the easiest way to get between Miami Beach and the mainland. The Metromover is free for downtown-only trips.
Beach chairs and umbrellas at South Beach cost $20–40/day from vendors. Bring your own towel and save the rental fee.
Dinner in Miami starts late — 8 PM is early, 9–10 PM is normal. Make reservations for popular restaurants, especially on weekends.
