Great selection of pools. Service on the beach, too. For me, the key here was service. It seems that when you ask for something anymore, it either ends up falling through the cracks or taking forever to accomplish. The Acqualina scored extremely high for not falling into that average, with everyone working there being of exceptional quality.

Another beautiful FREE gem in Miami Beach! The Miami Beach Botanical Garden is such a great free…read moreactivity to do with friends and family. There are hundreds of different plant species throughout the garden, and we got to see so many beautiful butterflies flying around and exploring. It's also a great spot for pictures! There's a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere, and plenty of pretty areas to stop and take photos. There's also a small gift shop where you can purchase drinks, which is VERY important on those hot Miami days. Definitely make sure you stay hydrated! Overall, such a beautiful little escape in the middle of Miami Beach. I would definitely come back!

We love the Yacht Club!…read more We have friends that take us here and we absolutely always have a great time. We grab pizza, carpaccio and lomo saltado from the restaurant that's enclosed. The service is always so pleasant. Granted the last time we were there it was pretty empty and we didn't know who our server was so it was hard to track someone down to order but thankfully the bartender was available! Even with that little hiccup we still had a great time! Can't wait to go back.

Holidays in a yacht club ?! Seems like a Hallmark movie in the making set in the beautiful city of…read moreMiami. Key Biscayne Yacht Club gave the perfect atmosphere to be cozy with your family and/or friends for Christmas. I went here for a work Christmas party. I enjoyed a pour of the Faust Cabernet before and during my meal. For appetizers, I ordered their ceviche - the saltiness of the fish with the sour lime was accompanied well with the mangoes. I ordered off the menu and got the special of that evening. It was a miso glazed Halibut set on a bed of lo mein. I love how the fish was very soft and tender and basically melted in my mouth. For dessert, I ordered their seasonal sorbet to cleanse the palette. Our server was also very attentive. I believe when you are with a big group, there is a minimum of $100 to spend per person. Overall, you are paying for the experience and for the good food.

We attended a wedding reception at the Penthouse at Riverside Wharf in downtown Miami and had a…read morewonderful time. This is a great event venue mainly for a couple reasons: 1. It has excellent elevated views of the Miami skyline to the east and the Miami River, boats, and the W Flagler St Drawbridge (historical landmark, built in 1938) to the west. I believe the penthouse is located on the 10th floor of a relatively new building. 2. The venue is modern and versatile. The inside spaces (including restrooms) had a clean, updated look. For this event, there were multiple bars and food stations set up both indoors and outdoors. The dance floor was outside. The combination of string lights, rooftop patio decor, and the city skyline was beautiful. There was only one elevator to get everyone up and down, so there was a bottleneck there. They brought in a fire dancer to perform outside on the rooftop, which was really cool.

My friends and I went to The Penthouse at Riverside Wharf this weekend, and what a view!…read more The venue has great views on both sides - it has an urban background with the skyline and the freeway on one side, and an awesome view of The Wharf and waterfront on the other side. There's limited street parking, but there's an adjacent parking lot. I'd recommend using a valet service if you are hosting an event here. I absolutely loved the views here, which is why this place gets 5 stars!

The Miami Selfie Museum is so. much. fun…read more I thought they would have tripods at each photo station, so that you could take a photos of yourself, but I guess it is a "selfie" museum. They did have a couple tripods that people could borrow, though. Next time, I will remember to bring my own tripod, as I was taking my own photos. I had a lot of fun and got some really cool photos. I absolutely spent my entire hour here, but I could see how it could be boring for some people. It was a bit crowded at the beginning of our time slot (Saturday at 3pm), but it started to thin out about halfway through.

If you are a Tequila lover and connoisseur or just want to taste and learn how Tequila became so…read morepopular, then you should rush over and experience Tequila Town next to Factory Town. Get your tickets thru Bucket Listers for a 20% discount. They range from $78 on up depending on which experience you want, like the private dining room in a cave. This is a pop-pop event that travels all over the US. Tequila Town is an immersive experience that blends art, architecture, music, ritual, and storytelling by transporting guests back to the original story of tequila in Mexico mixed with the pulsating creative energy of Miami. As you enter, you will receive a welcome glass of tequila to begin your experience. You also receive a passport that needs to be stamped in each room. There are 10 rooms there. When you buy your tickets, you will choose how many rooms you want to experience! You will enter a train in the beginning and a conductor will take you on a 3 minute "ride" thru Jalisco, Mexico explaining where tequila was originally made. Note: it was very warm in the train. Then you go to another room where another storyteller will explain more and so on. In each room, you will get to taste tequila. Each room has a different experience. Towards the end, there is a gentleman who will play his guitar and sing songs. The decorations thruout will give you many photo ops! At the end of the tour, you will enter the Gift shop where there is air conditioning and lots of tequila to buy as well as gifts. Ask about the 20% off when you buy your ticket. It was fun, interesting, and lively! All the tour guys were knowledgeable and friendly! You will get your money's worth for sure. Lots of photo ops and fun with friends.

Recommend for: - Cocktail enthusiast…read more - Tequila or spirit nerds. - Fans of Larping, amateur acting, immersive experiences. - Wallflowers or introverts that prefer a little structure to ease into socializing. - Fans of culture and casual, accessible anthropology. Maybe pop anthropology? - Disney adults who miss Epcot!! Not recommended for: - People looking to get hammered (although that might happen). - People looking for a straight up party (the tour guides are professional actors & stay in character. You don't NEED to play along, but it makes it more fun. Interrupting the guides with party outbursts ruins the experience, the preparation, the memorization, & improvisation that is going on.) Caveat for tequila nerds. - This is an entertainment experience. And I think it's meant to highlight the diversity of tequila, especially for the non-initiated. This is not a tasting. Nor is it targeted to long time tequila connoisseurs. This is entry-level & fun. But it's also a marketing exercise for the Proximo Spirits brands. There is no discussion of detailed topics tequila connoisseurs focus on: -NOMs, -terroir, -additive free versus additive, -how commercial farming practices jeopardize sustainability, -the issues with celebrity brands, -farmer and worker rights, -independent distilleries, -how modern and / or industrial tequila production differs from traditional or artisanal production, -the difference from other agave spirits, -the regional differences, -the complicated history of tequila marketing in the United States. But, that's not bad. And honestly, if that were the focus of this experience, I'm sure it would detract from the experience & also from a wider appeal. The experience does a great job in showing the diversity in tequila as a spirit. And does a lot to elevate tequila and separate it from the non-sophisticated (but still existent) reputation as a party liquor. It's also an homage to Mexico's cultural traditions & intangible contributions. In a time where the public focus on Mexico isn't always favorable, this served as a welcome experience!
