Accommodations: Make yourself at home in a comfortable room or suite with an Atlantic Ocean and South Beach, city, or pool view, a king-size bed or 2 double beds, a stocked mini-bar, and an in-room laptop-compatible safe. TIP: For the best ocean view, book a room ending in "40" on the higher floors. Many units have a balcony. Some suites claim floor-to-ceiling windows, a living room, a dining room, a butler's pantry, an elevated Roman tub, bathrobes, and slippers. If exclusivity and personalized service are your style, stay on the Club Level. You have access to a VIP lounge with 5 daily food and beverage presentations including continental breakfast.
Dining & Entertainment: At the casually elegant DiLido Beach Club, dine oceanfront on sweet and savory Sun Cuisine, dishes inspired by tastes from beach towns along the southern Mediterranean and North Africa coasts and meant to be shared with friends. It serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The restaurant is set among lush foliage, swinging hammocks, bright flowers, and day beds, and it features live musical entertainment. Enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner indoors in beautiful art-filled surroundings or al fresco under the stars with music at Bistro One LR, a modern American eatery with a hint of Latin American and French influences. Retreat to the gorgeous, sensuous Lapidus Lounge, with breathtaking original art, subdued lighting, plush banquettes, and comfortable lounge tables. Sophisticated light fare is offered into the early morning hours. The lounge has a specialty tapas and tinis menu, sushi bar, and the $400 Star Martini made with vintage Dom Perignon, 150-year-old Grand Marnier, Chambord, and orange and starfruit puree. Call on room service 24/7.
Recreation: The elevated outdoor swimming pool and the private day beds overlook the ocean. Get a cardiovascular workout on treadmills, elliptical trainers, and stationary bicycles at the fitness center, and consult with a personal trainer for tips and advice. At the European-style spa, essential elements from the ocean bring life, well-being, and new beginnings through treatments rich with minerals, sea salt, algae, and water. Trained counselors oversee the activities at the kids' club, and your children have more fun with new friends at the Kids Night Out Session.
