Hi all,
I'm looking for a hotel for the good lady wife and I for a couple of nights on South Beach after a week at Disney.
4/5 stars in mind - any suggestions gratefully received!
Cheers,
nibbs

Can definantly recommend you stay clear of the Z Beach Hotel (a Crowne Plaza hotel). We stayed there a few weeks back and the whole place was in disaray. Restaurants closed, bar closed, no food or drink available due to renovations which they hadn't told us about until we arrived. Also the beach service which they charge you $15 a day for was non existant.
It's a block down fron Loews so the area i can recommend, some very nice restaurants nearby, a 7-11 and also a greta New York style diner opposite the Z ocean.

I can recommend
the National, not too big, very friendly staff and has a fantastic pool [y]
Which ever hotel you do decide on though, try and get an ocean view room as Collins Avenue can be very noisy after dark.
Regards

Another vote for Lowes, if you do a search there was a thread about this that went into detail.
