My friend and I have booked a long week for a "girls trip" which we have not done in over 8 years at the end of March. We are booked at the Loews Hotel in South Beach Miami. I don't believe we will need a rental car, we'll take a cab to the hotel. I was wondering if anyone has stayed there and if there is a must do restaurant/activities in the area.

Whoops I meant a long weekend!Vanessa -
Our favorite restaurants while in S Beach were Taberna Opa for Greek family style (music and dancing at nite)http://www.tavernaoparestaurant.com/info.php and Joe's Stone Crab house ($$$ but a classic)http://www.joesstonecrab.com/findus.html .
Have not stayed at Loew's but both were a nice longish walk from HGVC S Beach location on Ocean.
Best activities are beach and lots of people watching!Lawren

There are many wonderful places in the world, but one of my favourite places is on the back of my horse.

We were at HGVC South Beach for a week last March, and had a great time. I was expecting more of a Spring Break crowd, but it was not a problem at all. I would second Lawren's recommendation for Joe's Stone Crab -- if you don't want to eat in the main restaurant (pretty fancy place), they have a deli-like place adjacent where you can have a lighter, more casual meal.
We didn't have a rental car either. We found plenty to do and great places to eat within walking distance, or using the very tourist-friendly bus that loops around the S. Beach peninsula. If you are into bowling at all, there is a Lucky Strike Lanes in the shopping area -- not your average bowling alley, more like a night club / lounge. Definitely a unique and fun experience.
