Bobbi7 Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 I've only been to Miami/South Beach. I thought it was nice. It was trendy, good fashion, blue water, clubs. It was a bit rowdy when I went out on a Friday night. But I noticed the people that I talked to that vacation in Florida-they usually go to Fort Meyers, Ft. Lauderdale, Tampa, Key West. Seems like none of them have even been to Miami! Is Miami that bad? I actually liked it. I heard Ft. Meyers and Lauderdale is a place for families and older people.
Tayla Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 meh... too tourist driven... you sound like you might enjoy that though, so indulge if that is your type of city.

SoBe is one of the hottest party destinations in the world, especially if you are into electronic music. I think those other people are looking for a quiet, Jimmy Buffet type experience where they don't have to try or spend nearly as much $$$ so they prefer those quieter spots. I can literally see no reason at all to vacation in Ft Lauderdale though. It has all the negatives of Miami without all the positives. Truly a boring suburbia trying to be Miami and failing. More of a place to live once you are done partying.
