How To Find a Beach Miami Hotel Deal

Introduction

Miami Beach is an international destination for travelers across the world. It has beautiful beaches, cultural activities and plenty of shopping. It is a world-class city. Miami Beach also offers a variety of hotels that meet the needs of its international travelers while still providing a relaxing and exotic atmosphere. Travelers often visit for the famed Art Deco buildings and exotic Latin culture. It is known as a playground for the rich and famous. Searching for the perfect Miami Beach hotel can be a bit intimidating. However, once you have figured out what your needs are, it is fairly easy to narrow down a few choices that are affordable.

 

Step 1

The first step is to figure out what your needs are for a Miami Beach hotel. Do you need a concierge serve? How about valet parking for your rental car? Make a list of your must haves. Consider the needs of any children accompanying you on your trip. Some hotels offer childcare and babysitting services for when you want to have a night out on the town. Also consider the location of the hotel. Do you need one near the beach? Are you okay with a hotel that is farther inland?  Consider your tourist attractions to narrow down a location within the city.

 

 

Step 2

With your list in hand, start searching the Internet for hotels. Most websites offer convenient set ups for searching for hotels. Visit sites like TripAdvisor, Travelocity and Expedia. These sites offer a simple run-down of all of the Miami Beach hotel ameneties.  For example, Travelocity describes each hotel by class and lists the hotels amenties and nearby attractions for guests. Users can also view pictures of their hotel to get a better idea of what they are signing up for. TripAdvisor is also a great site. It lists reviews from recent visitors so that you can get a feel for what the actual hotel is like. Users also post current, candid photos of the hotel.

 

Step 3

Once you have narrowed down your choices for a Miami Beach hotel, begin contacting the official websites of the hotels. These websites will usually list any current specials for visitors that may have limited availability. Some sites require you to sign up for an email newsletter for special rates. Another trick is calling the hotel and asking for a special rate since it will be your first time in the city. Most reservation specialists at hotels are willing to go the extra mile to get you a deal if they can get your continued business in the future. Always ask nicely, and you will surprised with how far they are willing to go for you. 

Step 4

Consider booking during the low season. In Miami Beach, the low season is during the summer months. It is very hot during the summer months, and tourists visit less during this time. The high season starts in November and ends in May. These are the times when rates are the highest.

Step 5

Consider using sites like Hotwire. Hotwire allows one to book discounted hotels. However, the traveler will not be able to see the hotel name until after the booking. This is risky if one has particular tastes in hotel traveling.

Tips

Always book your hotel at least two weeks ahead of time. Last minute bookings are often expensive.
