Top Ten Mistakes When Traveling to Miami or Kendall

1. Arriving Without a Place To Stay
Book your Miami hotel in advance – at least for the first night. You will need a place to put your suitcases down when you arrive. Wandering around jetlagged and desperate for a place to rest is never fun.

2. Forgetting About Transportation
Make sure you plan your trip from the airport to your Miami or Kendall hotel in advance. Cabs can be very expensive during Miami’s peak season, so do your research on options for public transportation.

3. Misplacing Your Passport
Spending your vacation tracking down consulates and misplaced documents is a waste of time. Make 2 copies of your passport, leave one copy at home with a friend or family member and keep the other copy in your luggage. If, for any reason, your passport is lost or stolen, just take your copy to your consulate so they can trace your passport number, cancel the original passport and give you a new one.

4. Traveling Without Medical Insurance
Being prepared for any accidents during your Miami vacation is important. Make sure you have appropriate medical coverage in case you need it.

5. Not Checking Your Roaming Fees
Using your cell phone in another state without an appropriate service plan could be surprisingly expensive. Contact your service provider to inquire about any extra service fees.

6. Forgetting to Call Your Credit Card Company
Give your credit card company a heads-up that you’ll be traveling or they may suspect fraud and suspend your credit card until you’ve confirmed purchases during your vacation.

7. Sticking To Tourist Traps
Inquire with local residents or the staff of your hotel in Miami for suggestions on the best local attractions, restaurants and events.

8. Not Using a Travel Agent
You can find sales and flight discounts when booking your flight to Miami through an agent. Don’t settle for regular rates. Discounts are usually available for those who seek them.

9. Making Changes to Your Flight Reservations
Postponing your departure date is one of the most common mistakes that travelers can make. Flight changes are available but usually at high costs.

10. Over Packing
Arriving at the airport with overweight suitcases can bust your travel budget even before you take off. Most airlines allow one bag for free, but you could be charged up to $100.00 for every additional piece of luggage or overweight bag.

Suggestions for Booking Your Miami Hotel

Miami is an exceptional city any time of year. The beaches are as inviting in December as they are in July, and the weekend nightlife rocks all year long! The question of when to book your hotel in Miami is really based on the type of vacation you desire. You can choose the energy of peak season with tourism at its high and usually perfect winter weather, or you can choose low season for the most inexpensive fares and emptier beaches.

Typically, when Northern American states get cold, Miami tourism heats up. The peak season spans from January through April. Come to Miami during the peak season, and you'll find the city and its beaches packed to the max. If your Miami vacation plans must be during these peak months, make sure to book ahead of time and also expect high hotel costs, long waits, and crowded beaches. June through September is the low season, but Miami still gets many tourists during the summer.

Weather Information

Miami has warm weather all year long; highs are usually in the 70s and 80s. Humidity is at its worse in the summer months and can be quite irritating, especially to travelers that are used to dry heat. June has the least desirable weather, as it usually sees the most rainfall.

Florida is located within the hurricane belt, so Miami is at risk for hurricanes and tropical storms from June 1 to November 30. Prepare for travel during these months by purchasing travel insurance that covers you in the event of a hurricane.  Also keep a close watch on the weather forecast prior to your departure.

When to Save

You will find the least expensive rates for a Miami hotel during the low-season summer months, and weekdays are usually cheaper than weekends. In the peak season, you may find small price breaks by traveling midweek rather than on the weekend.

Dining and attraction prices are not so dependant on the seasons, but occasionally you'll find summer coupons that are not available during winter months. Hotels near Miami Zoo and other popular hot spots usually offer summer discounts directly associated with their nearest attractions, so you may want to seek them out.

When to Book

Many hotels in Miami sell out in advance on winter weekends, while in the summer, many hotels even post hopeful "Vacancy" signs in order to attract more business. The best rule of thumb is to book your vacation in Miami as far in advance as possible, especially if you have a specific vacation budget in mind. You will probably find many hotel discounts in the summer, but it's very important to book several months in advance for winter travel. Room prices rise as Miami hotels fill up, so the earlier you book, the cheaper the room rate you'll pay.

Top 5 Attractions in Miami

Miami is full of great tourist attractions for visitors and residents. This list presents some of the most popular tourist destinations in the region. Most hotels in Miami are close to these attractions and some even offer tours and discounts during your Miami vacation.

1. Metro Zoo
The Miami Metro Zoo is quickly becoming one of the best zoos in the nation. Its favorable climate allows it to keep a wide variety of animals from Asia, Australia and Africa, unlike others zoos in the country.

More GREAT Guest Feeback

We LOVE the feedback we get from our guests :) Thank you so much for having everything ready for us. The rooming list was great and the girls had no problems checking in. Thank you again! Nitta Omensetter Tampa United Volleyball Academy --------------------------------- Dear Sirs, I am writing you to congratulate you for the great man you have working with you. I stayed in your hotel from January 12-28th and I liked it very much. Everybody is very nice! But Mr. Eriberto was very king and careful to me! I am from Brazil and these days making a revival of my trip I reminded him. It begun with a simple gesture but it meant a lot to me! That because I had an acident here in Brazil and I had to travel using cruches and a wheelchair. I didn't ask anything, and nobody ask him to do anything. I call it SENSITIVITY! I am sending a photo (from me and my friend) if he remember me... I would appreciate if you could forward this message to him. Kind regards, Maura

5 Ways to Save Money on Your Miami Accommodations

5. Revisit the Same Hotel. You may be able to get great deals at Miami hotels when you stay at the same place (or the same hotel chain) each time you travel. When you book your room, mention that you’ve previously stayed at their hotel. They want your repeat business and may offer you a better rate – or, at the very least, an upgraded room.

4. Try Haggling. In some cases, you can negotiate a room rate at a budget hotel in Miami, but it's important to do this tactfully. Present your initial offer so that it doesn't create a combative exchange. For example, you can ask if they might consider dropping their rate by 10 percent. Sometimes, you'll get a positive response, but if you get a solid "no" or the person seems offended, let it go.

3. Surf the Web for Deals. The Internet can help you save money on virtually everything, including Miami hotel rooms. It takes a bit more confidence to book your Miami vacations online, but you can find great rewards.

2. Timing Is Everything. When it comes to getting a good deal on Miami accommodations, timing can be everything. One of the easiest ways to trim your travel budget is to go off-season. You'll also save on airfare, and you might appreciate some additional perks, like shorter lines.

1. Use Membership Programs and Occupational Advantages. AAA and AARP members often qualify for reduced hotel rates. The same holds true for people in certain occupations, such as educators and military personnel. If you are either of these or work for a nonprofit organization, mention it when making reservations for your Miami vacation.

International Cuisine and Restaurants Near Your Miami Hotel

While on vacation in Miami, explore local cuisine and take your taste buds on an International adventure. The location of your Comfort Suites® Miami hotel gives you the flexibility to savor the most exotic food in Miami. Argentinian, Cuban, Colombian, and Italian cuisines are some of the local favorites. Most ethnic restaurants in Miami are family-owned businesses which started small and quickly multiplied to create mini franchises in the area. American sport grills and barbecue houses are also popular along with all the bigger American franchises like Checkers, Dunkin Donuts, McDonald’s, Pizza Hut and Quiznos, but let’s take a closer look at the International cuisine in Miami.

Argentinian cuisine can be described as a cultural blending of Mediterranean influences (such as those created by Italian and Spanish traditions) within the wide scope of livestock and agricultural products that are abundant in the country. No other dish more genuinely matches the national identity than asado (the Argentine barbecue). Nevertheless, the country's vast area, and its cultural diversity, has led to a local cuisine of various dishes that are still gaining popularity around the world.

Cuban cuisine is a fusion of Spanish, African, and Caribbean traditions. Cuban recipes share techniques and spices with Spanish and African cooking, along with some Caribbean influences in spice and flavor. The results are a unique and flavorful blend of several different cultural influences, with strong similarities to the cuisine of neighboring Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico. A small but noteworthy Chinese culinary influence can also be noted, mainly in the Havana area.

Colombian cuisine includes the cooking traditions and practices of the native land and its Caribbean shoreline, Pacific coast, mountains, jungle, and ranch lands. Colombian cuisine varies regionally and is influenced by Spanish, African, Arab and some Asian traditions. Colombian coffee is also renowned worldwide for its prestigious high quality.

Italian cuisine is heavily influenced by Etruscan, ancient Greek, ancient Roman, Byzantine, and Jewish traditions. Significant changes occurred during the discovery of the New World with the introduction of items such as potatoes, tomatoes, bell peppers and maize, now central to the cuisine but not introduced in quantity until the 18th century. Italian cuisine is noted for its regional diversity, abundance of difference in taste, and is known to be one of the most popular types of food in the world.

McDonald’s
Can you imagine a world without the Big Mac? Or Chicken McNuggets? Or Happy Meals? It’s all because of a man named Ray Kroc who discovered a small burger restaurant in California back in 1954. From that humble start as a small restaurant, McDonald’s has become one of the world’s largest food service retailers and a leader of fast food in Miami.
