First off, Travis and his partner are extremely friendly, kind, and professional. We had a group of 4 for my husband's birthday. It was during spring break time and we arrived a hour late due to traffic. Travis and his team did not turn us around and understood the inconvenience. Everything was clearly explained before we entered our room. It was super fun and a challenge. We also was given a tour. You can enjoy drinks and lounge on the rooftop terrace. The music was wonderful as well. The business owners are super friendly. We look forward to visiting again soon. You won't be disappointed. Family fun, friends, or couples fun. Love it

My spa day at Carillon was nothing short of rejuvenating. Wasn't sure what to expect with "the new normal" and if the experience would be the same as before the pandemic, to my surprise my expectations were exceeded. The thermal spa and lockers are not open yet but can’t wait to experience. When you enter the property it’s obvious the cleanliness and safety this place and its staff are employing to keep guests feeling protected. The sanitation procedures, masks/shields and social distancing allowed me to unwind and enjoy myself. I triedsome of their new touchless therapies, a private infrared sauna, the vemi (a must try), and rasha. Each left me feeling revitalized and de-stressed. The Spa Director Jack walked me through my experience, explaining all of the benefits with expertise and care. I appreciate his attentive nature. Definitely looking forward to returning soon to continue some of these treatments because I am noticing the positive impact they made on my body and the way I feel. Thank you Carillon for a wonderful & restful day.

This is always one of my first ports of call when in Miami Beach. The quality of the new and vintage items they buy in is exceptional, as are the staff. Every pair of sunglasses I own originated from here.

The Jewish Museum of Florida-FIU is the only Museum dedicated to telling the story of 250 years of Florida Jewish heritage, arts and culture. The museum is housed in two adjacent lovingly restored historic buildings, at 301 Washington Avenue on South Beach, that were once synagogues for Miami Beach's first Jewish congregation. The museum's focal point is its core exhibit, "MOSAIC: Jewish Life in Florida, 1763 to Present" and its temporary history and art exhibits that change periodically. A Collections and Research Center, several films, Timeline Wall of Jewish history, museum Store filled with unique items and Bessie's Bistro complete the experience for visitors of all ages and backgrounds. The museum is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums.

The museum is being renovated, but has a wonderful art show in its annex next door with impressive works by famous artists such as Marc Chagall. The show is well worth stopping for. However, make sure you take the walking tour of "Jewish South Beach" with Howard Brayer, who is amazingly knowledgeable volunteer. Armed with photos, he will make you see so much that you missed noticing in that neighborhood. Thank you Mr. Brayer, we really enjoyed our tour!

Laid-back neon ambiance, rustic decor, pool table & jukebox, make this South Beach/Miami Beach bar a global destination must and a local institution. Est. 1926, "Mac's" since 1964. Voted "Top Dive Bar" in US - CNN/Playboy/Condé Nast/TimeOut/GQ/etc.

Like you’re 30 years ago in some kind of bar where alcohol was in prohibition...it seems things have never changed. In fact, it’s opened since 1926, and it makes it the oldest bar in Miami. The place is a cube Art Deco box and the seating is very peculiar: around the bar, making a kind of serpent line, where people seat and chat, or just have a drink while enjoying the music from the old jukebox. There’s also pool. I saw an elderly walker parked just at the front door, and then I found THE guy! Great place to have a drink if you’re interested in getting to know the spirit of Miami and of South Brach

Florida is not only beaches and malls. There are many options for people like me: art and culture lovers. The Colony Theater is one of these options. They present a very well-curated season with exceptional actors and contemporary stories. In the summer there are a variety of shows in Spanish, also of the highest level. In front of the theater, there is an excellent Italian café where you can dine before or after with an art deco fountain that makes my "cultural getaways" a plan that I always repeat.

Jacob is super respectful, personable, and talented. He gave an incredible massage, and stretch. He checked in with me, with mindful timing, about my comfort level...with the temperature, with the scents, with pressure, with the music. Jacob was appropriately professional, and delivered an amazing massage, and bonus stretch. One of THE BEST massages I have ever received. Thank you!

PoP Art with a SENSE OF HUMOUR! Commissioned Art is a Perfect Gift. A Treasured Memory of Relevance.Own an "ORIGINAL", Not a print". Commissioned Murals & Backdrops for Productions Mariano’s images reveal the impulse in all of us to look to the past and to hold tightly to traces of you personal history. The subjects he conveys to the viewer is uniquely his own, and yet a part of the common human experience where everyone has been or wants to be and where anyone is welcome.Mariano Creates Original Works of Art that explore Many Different People, All Animals, Places and Pop Art. Picos gives his works seemingly real depth, contour and a mood where his use of bold colours provide layered meaning in every sense. The solidity of each subject wander with abstract shapes that compliment his details and takes the voyeur’s imagination into an “uneasy” of uncomfortable truths where life takes form. Picos allows the viewer to participate in the scene and explore an inner reaction. Because of Mariano’s artistic expression, writers, painters, musicians and actors from all over Europe, Latin America and the United States have all been inexorably drawn to this creative mecca. Mariano is able to capture and preserve the most intimate details.Mariano casts a near perfect presence and a familiar, provoking creation.
