I don't know what your price point is - but the beach at Key Biscayne (Ritz Carlton and some lesser properties) is quite gentle - and agreeable for children. Key Biscayne is probably more oriented for family travel than South Beach (on the other hand - it is dead at night - so you'll have to decide what you're interested in).
And if the beach isn't necessary - I'd try the Four Seasons (a couple of terrific pools). I assume you'll be traveling during the next 5 months or so - low season - check out the low-season specials (like stay 2 nights - get 1 free). Robyn
Unfortunately some business has put a dampner on the plans. The family is heading out to DFW to see relatives while I shall toil here.
Thanks so much for all your input. And if we do end up going to MIA in the next few months, I shall be thanking you all very very much (and be carrying a map
).
