The andez is ON the beach ☺️. But it's further from all the buzz of Miami beach itself. You couldn't just walk out the door and be in the middle of everything. I looked at staying there before the update and reflag... Wish I had....I know the old place was a bit run down, but it was also substantially cheaper than the andez.

Also I wouldn't be surprised if Thompson offered shirtless to the beach. They haven't yet posted details about the ammenity fee that I'm sure they will have... But I've seen lower Calibur places offer shuttles to a beach that they provide access to.. I'd be quite surprised if Thompson doesn't do that.
