Oceanfront or Oceanview: Which Hotels In Miami Beach Provide The Most For Your Money?

Monday, October 18th, 2010

Visiting Miami Beach, for a day, week or extended vacation, typically means finding the best Miami Beach hotel for your money. There is a vast array of hotels to choose from in Miami. Prices, area and amenities should all be taken into consideration when you begin the search.

Many of the hotels in Miami Beach fill up quickly, especially during peak times of the year. Making a reservation as early as possible will prevent you from scrambling to find a decent hotel at a decent price. Several of the hotels offer discounts if the room is booked a month or more in advance as well as discounts for military, AARP and AAA.

Miami Beach is somewhat of a large area and knowing what activities you will be doing, can minimize the difficulties in finding a close hotel. Once you have decided which attractions you would prefer to visit, limit the traveling distance from a hotel to the attraction by only a few miles. Booking a hotel that is far away from the attractions will cost you more in the long run for transportation.

Oceanfront hotels and ocean view hotels in Miami Beach, has similar meanings but which you choose could affect the price. An oceanfront hotel means the hotel is located directly on the ocean and you will have a straight on view of the ocean from some area of the hotel room. An ocean view, means there is a view of the ocean visible from somewhere in the room, however, the view may be obscured or from across the street.

Having an ocean front room is great, however, often times there will be a significant discount for staying in a room with an ocean view. Larger hotels in Miami Beach will have both options, with significant differences in price. A resort hotel, for example may have numerous amenities including pools, lazy rivers, exercise areas and saunas, with both types of rooms available. In some situations there can be a difference of almost one hundred dollars, but you are getting the same amenities and will have a slight view of the ocean.

Chances are if you stay on the beach, the room you choose will not make that big of a difference, in a Miami Beach hotel. As long as you are in a good area, with easy access to the attractions you plan on visiting and walking distance to the beach, opting for the discounted room would be the most beneficial.
