Overall

I have no idea how people are giving this city good reviews. This place isin't that great. The amount of people that visit anually, and amount of good, safe, clean walkable streets really don't meet up. This place is almost always overcrowded. It doesn't attract any people of class either. The cost of vacationing here is extremeley high for the quality of the service- clearks,waiters etc are very rude, and probably understaffed. Theft on the beach is a problem too. Things as peity as sunglasses get stolen. Parking is a HUGE problem... and I would not suggest trying... there is a lot of road rage too. I also am unaware about how people 'party on south beach all night'. The beach closes at sunset, except for special events, and the thugs, drugdealers, hoodlums, and homeless come out after dark and populate ocean drive, lincoln road, and all the south beach areas. South Beach is usually dead by midnight anyway, unless it's spring break. Crime is out of oc control too (Big suprise?) The only driveable/walkable areas are now limited to Sunny Isles Beach, Key Biscayne, Coral Gables, and South Beach during the day, and possible during the night if it's crowded. Ok now for the good stuff, it has a pretty nice beach and water. They are a lot of recreational water activities such as jet skiing, parasailing, kyaking etc. So, if you like the water, this is the place for you.
