Fodor's Expert Review Circa 39

Located in the heart of Mid-Beach, this stylish yet affordable boutique hotel has tropical-inspired rooms, as well as a pool and sun deck complete with cabanas and umbrella-shaded chaises that invite all-day lounging. Beyond the pool is a cute bar with board games and a daily happy hour. Rooms have wooden floors; white plantation shutters; teak and white furnishings; and pops of orange, green, and blue. Walk through the small, welcoming lobby filled with rattan furniture and stroll out to the WunderGarden, where you can relax in swing chairs among palm trees and orchids. Have a cocktail and refresh among the greenery or at in-house restaurant Jules Kitchen, which serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily. The name Circa 39? It was built in 1939 and is on 39th Street.
