This small, oceanfront resort has welcomed two generations of repeat guests.. The Scene
This family-friendly hotel purports to be the first built in Key Biscayne. Originally constructed in the 1950s, it was damaged during Hurricane Andrew and subsequently completely renovated in 1995. The white-and-blue ranch-style hotel sits directly on the ocean and caters primarily to repeat guests, often second-generation fans. Those who stay here enjoy privileges at the adjacent Sonesta Beach Resort.

The Details
Of the hotel's 56 rooms, most are in the main cabin and come equipped with a microwave, refrigerator, toaster, coffee maker and VCR. There are also a few cabanas with separate living rooms, private balconies and full kitchens. The oceanfront suites reside beachfront. Anything other than lounging--spa treatments, dining and working out--can be accomplished next door. An on-site restaurant is in the works, but in the meantime the hotel offers delivery from local restaurants. Bicycles and kayaks are available for rent.
