How about a luxury oceanfront party hotel centrally located?... or simply a nice hotel out of the craziness? family oriented? Oceanfront, maybe? Not too far from it all? Or simply the cheapest place around? Do I want to, or am I willing to share a room with a few others at a hostel on Ocean Drive or near the fun areas?...
OK, here is a quick rundown of the best areas where you might want to find a hotel at, in South Miami Beach, considering the 3 scenarios below and assuming their hotel rates meet your budget:

2) Beach & ocean view (not oceanfront) at busiest area in South Beach, surrounded by lots of action, partying and entertainment, but with mid-high noise. Find these at mid Ocean Drive (between 5th and 12th street).
