Because it improperly influences decisions when you look at a pure cash equivalency currency as not spending cash.

True enough. But I think for me, it is a good thing

If you want a private pool then you want VRBO/AirBnb. This isn't MLE or USM.
Go sell your SPG to pay for it.

By private you mean empty/secluded or private mamash? If you require an actual private pool your only option may be to rent

Not that you can use points for.
They do have mega suites with very small plunge pools if you want to pay $$$ to upgrade. However private is debatable as higher floors can see right in.

I'm not from a family of vacationers, so spending thousands a year on vacations (even if it's just YQ on incredible F miles redemptions) just doesn't seem like my thing.

If that's your logic then why vacation at all?

Most welcome

Also amazing there is the pastrami eggrolls and fuego flat breads.

There back ribs and smores dessert are great too. I don't care for their steaks.

Eta: for the burger make sure the egg is runny and the pastrami is fried.

Very sub par experience :/
Empanadas weren't even deep fried like they used to be just baked.. Burgers were just ok... Chicken salad awful... Dessert soufflé not served hot had to be sent back.. Big disappointment but hope the rest of the week picks up. Solid jalapeño drink though and soufflé (the 2nd time around)

Despite our subpar experience, redbull3 and I made the most at Fuego and enjoyed the onion rings! They were richly coated, battered, dipped and fried to perfection. Plus, they went well the various dips offered

Dan · « **Reply #3673 on:** October 25, 2015, 10:26:27 PM »

The things to get are the flatbreads, pastrami eggrolls, and ribs.

A lot of the other stuff isn't very good.

What's my best shabbos hotel option(s) for Miami? I have pretty much all point currencies, and would pay cash if necessary. I just don't know where the Shuls are (always drove during the week). Looking for something that's under a mile to any frum shul.

Thanks, Dan! Nice options there.
How about a hotel using points? I have SPG, UR, & MR. I'm looking for cheap and clean; no fancy Dan-style hotels for me! (I don't think I have enough points for that...)

I checked SPG, and the contenders are 4 Points MB, Royal Palm, and Aloft South Beach (all 12k SPG). Any thoughts? Has anyone here stayed at any of these?
