well i just wanna write a few words about miami, and miami beach.
all the things you usually see on tv about miami is pretty hot...
spring break parties, the beach people, rich people... cocktails surrounded by all those palm trees. really a nice place....
but however after 2 days in miami, i noticed that actually nothing was like on tv.
spring break??? there were maybe 100 kids on the beach...not partying...
on tv it looks like 1000s of teenagers having fun...
going out at miami beach??? got a lot of money?? well that's what you need otherwise you turn back home sober... the prices are hilarious (go europe go!). a lot of the people in miami are pretty reserved... which you dont' expect when you're flying to miami... we've maybe met a handful of drunk people...during the spring break????? ahhhhhhhhhh
culture in miami??? well if the art-deco district is the best thing miami has to offer...that's pretty lame. i walked across the whole southern part of miami beach...nothing. downtown miami... absolutely nothing...
shopping area?? well lincoln road was nice, but expensive... the bayside area, next to the heat stadium was ok too... that's it???
2 shipping places... the dolphin mall was ok..but the 50 minutes bus ride was boring..
our "penguin hotel" in miami beach was BORINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGg...
no one was awake after midnight...no teenies.... the front-desk guys weren't the best ones... always bored and tired...
the hotel itselfs was very nice...the rooms and so on...but the rest of it.. wasn't worth the price..
everything is about money.... if you wanna go to a party you have to a pay a lot to get in ...25$... you only seen lambos, ferrari, bentley cars at the parking lot... all the chicks hang around with BIG guys...
it's like a very big high-society thing. L A M E.
------------------------------------------------------------------
well nevertheless there were some good things...
- i loved the food in miami... spanish, italian, mexican food...awesome!
even better than in most european non-italian cities.
- we had the best st. patricks days celebration of our life (irish??)
- we spent a lot of money, and were rather broke at the end of the trip

Penguin Hotel - Miami Beach
PROS :
+ Location
+ Cleanliness of the room, hotel,
+ not too expensive
+ room decor
NEGS :
+ atmosphere
The best thing about the room, was the indoor design.
It's a pretty modern, designer hotel. If you like affordable, and modern hotels, this one will be the right match for you.
However don't expect too much partying in or around the hotel.
The Hotel is located at the beginning/end or ocean drive, and there's really not much happening around there, even though it's on ocean drive.
you have to walk to the center of the street, or down the road to nikki beach.
The staff behind the front desk, spoke pretty bad english (because they were spanish, cuban.....). NO BIG DEAL though! However the guy who was there at night, looked pretty bored, and tired, everytime you knocked at the door, to get in, it took him minutes to open the front door.
The included breakfast was alright... it looked tasty, was yummy, and healthy as well. In the morning the veranda and the dining room next to the lobby was quite packed. But it wasn't the case after 9 pm in the evening. At night you couldn't see one single person walking around in that hotel, which didn't look promising, because we went there on springbreak time.
For sure, The Penguin isn't a bad hotel. If you wanna visit the hotel with your familly, parents, friends... this is the place. But if you're still young, looking for fun, and meeting people, there might be better hotels on the strip, or just in one of the streets next to ocean drive.
