ADVICE
1 Parrot Jungle Island is awesome. The gardens are beautiful and there are thousands of exotic animals and plants. There’s lots of stuff to do—take pictures, watch the animal shows, or relax on the private beach. It’s in the heart of Miami, and there’s a good bus service. A fantastic day out for the whole family. 2 The Casa Bella is great! Real luxury! The rooms are large and comfortable. There’s a bar right next to the pool with beautiful palm trees and umbrellas. The service is excellent. And it’s five minutes from the beach! 3 Don’t go to Miami Grill! There isn’t any seating outside and inside it’s too hot and not very clean. The service is terrible—the waiters are not helpful. The food isn’t great and the drinks are too expensive. Unit 5
