One of South Beach's best deals, Paradiso has huge rooms with kitchens and a charming tropical courtyard with benches for hanging out at all hours. There's even another smaller courtyard on the other side of the rooms. Peeking out from a sea of tropical foliage, the hotel seems at first to be a rather unassuming piece of Deco architecture. But for all its simplicity, value shines bright. Rooms have polished hardwood floors, French doors, and quirky wrought-iron furniture. They are well suited for extended visits—discounts begin at 10% for a week's stay. Pros: great hangout spot in courtyard; good value; great location. Cons: no Wi-Fi; no pool; no restaurant.
