...I ever took on the beach in front of the Sheraton Bal Harbour, which,
alas, is no more. It was blown up this past year to make room
for...condos.

It was a terrific hotel for many years, great location, great beach,
nice rooms.

Yes...those are boats way way way in the background.


Was that the Americana hotel before the name change?


Yes, it was, I believe. But more than the name changed. Over the years,
tens of millions were spent upgrading and improving it.


Never mind. I have determined that they probably did not keep the terrarium
in the lobby. :-)
