Acqualina Resort & Spa on the Beach

Fodor's Review:

When it opened in 2006, this hotel raised the bar for luxury in Miami, and it stands as one of the city's best hotels. You'll pay for it, too: Acqualina promises a lavish Mediterranean lifestyle with lawns and pool set below terraces that evoke Vizcaya, and Ferraris and Lamborghinis lining the driveway. There is much to love about the amenities here, including three gorgeous pools, the colossal ESPA spa, and the trendiest of restaurants, including one of only a handful in Miami to offer unobstructed beach views. And, upon arrival, you're escorted to your room for a personal in-room check-in. Rooms are sinfully comfortable, with every conceivable frill. Even standard rooms facing away from the ocean seem grand; they have huge flat-screens that rise out of the foot of the bed, making recumbent TV watching seem like a theater experience. If you're planning to pop the big question on your vacation, a Proposal Concierge will help set the scene. Pros: in-room check-in; luxury amenities; huge spa. Cons: guests have to pay an extra $40 to use the steam room or sauna.
