South Florida appeared in two very different lists recently in an article by TripAdvisor about “Swimsuit or No Swimsuit”. In the survey of their members, the “Top 5 Clothing-Optional Beach Destinations” included the Sea View Hotel, Haulover Beach, Bal Harbor (at #2); And in the “Top 5 Members’ Favorite Beach Hotels (Clothing Required)” list, the LaPlaya Beach & Golf Resort, Naples (at #4)
In TripAdvisor’s “Top 10 July Destinations”, Miami was in the number four spot (after Orlando #3; Las Vegas was #1). Some recently reviewed hotels in their Fort Lauderdale Trip Watch have included the Ocean Sky Hotel, The Atlantic Resort, and the TropiRock Resort.
Sorry to say that none of our South Florida beaches appeared in concierge.com – Conde Nast Traveler’s newsletter – on the 2009 “World’s Sexiest Beaches” list. However, Miami was highlighted in their recent videos of exciting cities. You can watch the video online or download it as a podcast. It also has an interactive map and accompanying guide on “Miami from A to Z”. Hotels featured in the video include the Shore Club, The Delano. And The Mansion.
And awhile back on hotels.com, the latest figures from Hotel Price Index were released about average room prices. According to their numbers, prices of a hotel room around the world fell by 12 percent last year. It should be noted that they track actual prices paid per hotel room rather than just advertised rates. In other findings, they noted that New York was the most expensive U.S. destination but topped American traveler's lists as the most popular domestic city destination (Orlando was 3rd btw); For international travelers visiting the US, Miami came in third (after NY and Vegas) in the last quarter of 2008.
