#1 Best Resort in the U.S. by U.S. News & World Report and 2020 #1 Luxury Beachfront Hotel in the U.S. by TripAdvisor. You have to admit, impressive credentials. I was looking for a Miami staycation and wanted to go to a part of Miami and a beach I don’t usually go to. Good friends went to Acqualina Resort & Residences in Sunny Isles Beach for a staycation not once, but twice, and raved about it. I had been to the spa for Miami Spa month and had lunch at Il Mulino a few years ago and was impressed. Then there was a chance to try the cryotherapy  facial. So no contest, off we went for a 3 day/2 night holiday. Tomorrow look for my post on things to do and see in Sunny Isles Beach.
