AndrewC: I am certainly a bit biased, but I wholeheartedly recommend the Sheraton Bal Harbour over the Mandarin. Mandarin is, indeed, a fine new property. However, as many have already noted, we at the Sheraton are directly on the ocean, have an amazing lagoon style pool, and are directly across the street from world class shopping. On top of that, over the past few months we've undertaken major efforts to refine our already high service standards. Come stay with us--you won't be disappointed! And feel free to drop me a line if I can be of any assistance.

Sincerely,
