Yep. Miami Beach is a rip. Restaurants also tack on tip automatically so most have shit service, too. Throw in the rowdy crowds, shootings, fights, cops being called in, it’s a dump.

My wife and I honeymooned in Miami Beach, and the gratuity surcharge was kind of annoying. I always figured it was because of the Spring Breakers that it was like that.

Little Havana was my favorite part of that vacation. Mmmmm, ropa vieja...

Native, 40 year Little Havana resident. Thanks for that!

And a 2% resort fee tax on all restaurants too on top of everything.

But I thought Florida was a tax free anti woke paradise?

I was down there a few years ago and noticed many restaurants along Ocean Drive had a ton of fake 5 star reviews on Google. Luckily you just had to walk a couple blocks away from the beach for decent food. Puerto Sagua anyone?
