hi i will be in orlando in june (with my 2 kids)and would like to drive to miami beach for 2 nights .wanted to stay somewhere right on the beach.please let me know a few options .also how far is it from orlando airport to the miami beach
thanks
Orlando airport to Miami Beach is 4 hours, easy , right down the Florida Turnpike. You probably want to stay on South Beach. It's not really a kid's place but it is THE place to stay. I don't know your budget but Lowe's is family friendly.
The ride from Orlando to Miami Beach is a good 4 hours. Keep in mind that Miami Beach and South Beach(SoBe) are totally different places ,location and flavor. The Loews(SoBe) is very nice if it is within your budget. There are plenty of other hotels on the beach(Collins Ave),The national and Richmond which are good for only 2 nights. Personally, I would stay away from any Hotel on Ocean Dr if you want to sleep at all.Also remember SoBe does not even start to rock until
dark. The beaches are extremely good in both Miami and SoBe. Good hotels here are a matter of research and most bloggers will say to"forget the pictures"
because they do not reflect the service of the hotel. Research
I had a similar concern than you : I wanted to stay on the beach in Sobe.
The hotels on Ocean Drive are expensive, noisy and not directly on the Beach, we had to cross the street.
So I made an extensive search on the accomodations which were on Collins Avenue between 15th and 22th street. South the 15th, Collins is not "on the beach" because of Ocean Drive. North of 22th the hotel is too far fron Art Deco district and Lincoln Road. The hotels with an odd number are on the beach. During my previous stays I noticed the hotels which matched these requests. Unfortunatly, the hotels in which I stayed previously have been remodeled and are now very expensive. I heve to make a new search at each trip in Miami Beach.
Finally, in November 2007, I stayed at the RIANDE Continental which was rather inexpensive on the beach. I payed 59 euros tax included on Oppodo (website) but I had no car and the parking was expensive (50$ per nite : crazy !). The hotel had poor review on Tripadvisor but we have no complaint against this accomodation.
But there are others which are within my budget (100 euros and less): Days Inn, Richmond and I found the Century (86 euros tax included + 25 $ parking) 140 Ocean Drive at the South point of Sobe, not in the noisy area.
Hope this experience helps.

Right on Ocean Blvd is the old Versaci mansion.
Nothing too exciting since it is privately owned and you can't see much of anything. But you can take a shot out front, or be really crass and lay down to re-enact the shooting. We did not do this, but saw some other tourists do so. Mojitos!
Yes I know, it is an obvious one, but seriously do not forget to bring sun protection, SPF 15 at least, and stronger expecially if you're going to stay in the sun for many hours.
The sun is extremely strong in Miami and you will get badly sunburnt if you don't protect yourself from it. Trust me, you don't want to look like all those tomato red tourists!!!
10 Reasons to buy Real Estate in Miami Beach: 1. Like few places in the world, we have international appeal. We are the playground for wealthy Europeans and the capital of the Latin world. Sophisticated New Yorkers consider this their annual winter playground.
The Clevelander is set up on Ocean Blvd with multiple bars around a pool with a band placed in the far back with a medium size dance floor.
All outdoors, which is nice on a warm Miami Beach night. But it lacks personality. Many tourists, like myself, so a real mixed crowd.
Drinks are expensive and poorly made. To get a good drink find one of the 8 bartenders that can mix and stick with them. Even then two top shelf margaritas will run you $22.50 - in very small plastic cups.
Dancing is left mostly to the drunk and the older 40-55 something crowd. Music is pretty general to appeal to the widest amount of people walking by on the strip.
Usually packed, and all the seats taken.
Some ok people watching, but distinctly 50 year olds and 21 year olds - 95% tourists. All over the place. Saw guys in shorts, t shirts, and most in jeans. We were overdressed here, but not the only ones.
I made my way down to Miami beach by bus (The J line) which costs $1.25, plus an additional $.25 for a transfer which will let you change to any other bus up or down the length of the beach.
Advantages: 1) Got to see the longest contiguous collection of used car dealers I've ever seen in my life, 2) Met a charming fellow (who happened to be on the same plane as me from Newark) from Hawaii who had traveled about 15 hours straight to surprise his daughter for her 16th birthday
Disadvantages: 1) Had to wait 20 minutes for the bus, 2) If you've seen one used car dealer, you've seen them all.
On the other hand, I returned from the northern tip of Miami by Taxi:
Advantages: Met this most charming and pleasant Cuban refugee driver who not only took me to visit my friend, but came back 2 hours later to take me to the airport.
Disadvantage: $55 ($45 is the official fixed price rate to/from the airport, and in this case I probably tipped too little).
