Trump International Beach Resort
Location: Sunny Isles,
Miami, Florida
Unlike at most other Miami hotels, the Kids Club
at the Trump is free. The large, family-size rooms
all have kitchenettes,
and many suites also include washer/dryers.
The grotto-style
pool comes with a broad shallow area
that's great for little swimmers. Plus, there's always Globie -- the hotel
mascot -- who entertains kids around the pool.
Acqualina
Resort & Spa
Location: Sunny Isles,
Miami, Florida
Since more than two-thirds of the
Acqualina is dedicated to family residences -- not hotel rooms -- the hotel
comes with a relaxed, kid-focused air. All standard rooms
come with elegant sofas
that pull out to queen beds. The hotel's kids' program, AcquaMarine
-- open Wednesday through Sunday for children ages 4 to 12 -- focuses on all
things oceanic, from the Coast Guard to science projects about waves. The kids' room
features a complete computer gaming center.
Loews Miami Beach Hotel
Location: South Beach, Miami, Florida
The Loews is one of South Beach's first family hotels, and its "Loews Loves Kids" motto still rings true. Enthusiastic counselors host beach tours and Nintendo Wii competitions at the Kids Camp, the Toy Library loans out beach shovels, and the hotel can even send DVDs and PlayStation games up to your room. Plus, there's the Loews' enormous -- and shallow -- free-form pool.

Newport
Beachside Hotel and Resort
Location: Sunny Isles,
Miami, Florida
Kids gone wild, with parents (usually)
in tow. The Newport Beachside is a lot like a cruise on land, with organized
kids' activities all day long, entertainment at night, and tykes dominating the
landscape. Plus, the hotel has two video-game
rooms, a make-your-own-album CD creator, and family-appropriate
movie nights.
Trump Doral
Golf Resort & Spa
Location: Doral, Miami,
Florida
The $80-per-day Camp Doral, for kids 5 to
12, includes swimming, arts, fishing, karaoke, sports, and more. The Doral even
makes golf
family-friendly: Club rental and greens fees are free for adolescents (or
anyone under 15 who can play 18 holes) after 3 p.m. when they're accompanied by
an adult. Kids' menus are available at most restaurants.
Turnberry
Isle Miami
Location: Aventura,
Miami, Florida
With a newly renovated pool
and a serpentine waterslide, the Fairmont is an excellent place for families --
especially considering its large, comfortable rooms and bathrooms. Well-lit tennis courts
with coaches on hand are great for older children, and the supervised Kids'
Connection club -- available with 24 hours advance notice -- offers
younger kids everything from arts and crafts to karate classes. It'll even take
them to the resort's kid-friendly beach (a free 10-minute shuttle ride away).
Fontainebleau
Resort Miami Beach
Location: Miami Beach,
Miami, Florida
Among the Fontainebleau's eight pools
are several shallow pools
for kids to splash around in, as well as a swing
for the water-shy. The kids' club -- for 4- to 12-year-olds -- features
supervising instructors to lead various sports, art, and drama activities.
Full-day programs are from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and include a lunch for $75 per
child. Half-day programs -- held twice daily and excluding the meal -- are $50.
A crib or rollaway can be a tight squeeze in the small, Art Deco-era rooms, but
larger suites are also available.
Biltmore
Coral Gables - Miami
Location: Coral Gables,
Miami, Florida
There's no kids' club, but the Biltmore
offers great activities for children. Apart from tennis lessons, children can
also learn how to play golf on the freshly restored Donald Ross 18-hole par 71 course.
Kids receive training from the hotel's award-winning chefs at the unique
culinary class. And let's not forget the massive, free-form pool,
with synchronized swimmers doing vintage routines
The
Ritz-Carlton South Beach
Location: South Beach,
Miami, Florida
Though the Ritz-Carlton is located
in a prime party section of South Beach, families
still flock to its enormous pool.
"Ritz Kidz"
-- the hotel's supervised club for children ages 5 to 12 -- is open from
Thursday through Saturday and offers various activities, from kite decorating
to video games to basic Spanish lessons.
