We used to stay on the beach in MIA at the "luxurious" Sherry Frontenac which was truly a crew hotel with crews from all over the world there. Still miss the soda machine with beers in it but did not miss the ride to/from MIA.

FLL was the Yankee Clipper on the beach which was a great location but had a lobby that smelled like mothballs for some strange reason. Location did make for a short walk to the Elbo Room though. 😁
