Fountainbleu. Or a second choice Eden roc. Cannot compare to the first choice though. Another option is the aqualina or the W

Those are def options for me. Seriously looking into fountainebleau , just concerned that I will feel like I walked back into bp and I just want a less " jewish" place

How rude is that to write back into BP. Thats not nice. Your antisemetic. Anyway we say williansburg not bp when it comes to florida. A big percent that goes there is satmar. Mind you satmar peple are the biggest balai chasadim. But if u wana go to a judenrein place u cn go to an arib country.

The FB is gonna be packed with jews....you said you don't want that...
if you want really nice, stay in the st.regis, its beautiful, on the beach and right near all the kosher restaurants in bal harbor (its quite pricey though, don't know what your budget is), I don't know how busy it will be at that time though, but really worth it to look into.

Wow. You must ve had a hard day or have some sort of complex if you took offense to that.
No one bashed anyone or any particular group. Relax.
I believe that taking a well deserved vacation with one spouse does not necessitate spending time with all the people we see and know on a day to day basis.

That is why I am inquiring if anyone knows of a less populated hotel...

You can dial back on the hate now. Eat an ice cream or something and chill.

Thank you for the nice and practical suggestion.
I looked into it but it is more on the pricey side. I was looking more at 500 a night max vs 1000 a night.

Everywhere in the Miami area will have jews during the time you plan to go. If that's really not what you want I'd recommend changing your plans (though pretty much anywhere you go will have jews that week) and going elsewhere

I know. As a teacher, my vacation coincides with many others... I don't need a totally foreign place just maybe a bit more secluded... What other areas are near miami? I'm not very familiar with the area.

Why choose Miami if you don't want to see (lots and lots and lots) of Jews? Can't you go somewhere else? What are you looking for in a vacation?

Warmth , beautiful and relaxing atmosphere, minyan, kosher food, close to ny/ short plane ride...

It s really the only place that fits the bill right now besides I got very very cheap tix with a pricing mistake ... So it's gotta be miami Wink

So you already bought the tickets? So if minyanim and kosher restaurants are the draw (which I totally get) there's no point in us recommending you stay in places further out.

cheek out the western diplomat, its pretty nice, you will need a car though to get to the restaurants, but I don't remember it being soooo far.

If you want a minyan and kosher food you will be near lots of Jews. If you are willing to drive a distance for those things you'll have more options. But you'll still be surrounded by Jews every time you go daven and eat.

Renting a car so a 20 minute drive is no big deal if there are places a bit farther out

Seems like someone threw everyone off. As per the title of the thread I'm looking for a hotel a bit away from the schmaltz of miami but I have no objection to meeting frum people. I love all you guys, just don't want to sit with you by the pool all day Smile

I see there s sunny isles , bal harbor, coral gables, etc any of these fit the bill?

Thanks to all those who are taking an interest to help out.
