On a limited budget and would like a nice hotel on/near beach. Want to spend about 200 a night.

Thank you.

I think it's over 200/night, but the Sonesta is very nice!! They do offer AAA discounts. I don't think there are many other hotels on Key Biscayne itself--I remember seeing lots of high rise condos. There is a small motel type property next to the Sonesta, but I don't remember its name. It was much more reasonably priced than the Sonesta, but you could probably still go to the Sonesta's great pool side bar!

Thank you Donna for the advice.

I guess it does not help that I am going Dec 31 - Jan 4.

Sonesta was over $350.

Still Looking.

Sonesta is a dump! We were there 2 years
ago.....arrived late @ night & checked in to a very drab room overlooking the roof! Checked out the next morning & went to The Sheraton @ Bal Harbour
which cost more but was worth every penny of it! Consider yourself lucky, Chris that you won't be going to Sonesta!

Chris, check out the current hosted forum on Miami. The host just mentioned another place on Key Biscayne than might be a lot less. (Of course it could be more instead, but it's worth a shot.)

Thanks for the advice. Still looking
