If you have some extra $$ to throw around, I can tell you the Ritz Carlton is awesome, or this Marriott... http://travel.yahoo.com/p-hotel-3503..._south_beach-i

A really fun place in Coconut Grove has always been Cafe Tu Tu Tango , with great tapas food, live entertainment, and the best sangria I ever had.

Big difference between the one in Orlando and the one in Miami.
The Orlando one truly sucks but I think that is more due to being around Disney and a limited Cuban population so they can get away with crap.
In Miami, she would not survive trying to feed Cubans junk food so I think they kick it up a notch.
Haven't been there in a while though so don't know about "today".
The neat thing is to not have to venture out into Miami when one can do so much right there.
Heck, if venturing out it is, Versailles is Mc Donald's compared to Molina's Ranch in Hialeah.
That is where the locals go that know about where it is.
Another well kept local secret is Havana Harry's.
Heck, contact rresplencia and see what he can chef up for you as he is a chef at a local restaurant. Just don't recall which one.

When speaking of luxury, no doubt the Ritz Carltons are up there. However, I look at it that I can stay at very many Ritz Carltons all over the place. In South Beach, I don't think I would consider any other when it comes to luxury other than Leows. The place is absolutely amazing. It is not a remake of a hotel. It is a new structure, built from scratch.

There are just so, so many places to stay that the best thing to do is shop online for price and take the tours, then look to see if anyone has anything negative about the place. It is like flies in a pile of fresh dog ****. Lots to choose from.
