Go to the beach &#151; but try something new: Vero Beach, Florida, a small-ish destination nestled in Central Florida&#146;s Indian River County, is definitely a quiet alternative to the Miami scene (especially during the stressful holiday season; do you <i>really</i> want to pay $20 for weak pina coladas and too-loud reggaton right now?) <p>Kimpton just opened up their newest boutique hotel on the beach,<b><a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Vero+Beach+Hotel+And+Club/ian/122510"> The Vero Beach Hotel</a></b>, and they're celebrating (or luring you there) with killer opening rates. And free food, too! Imagine your luck!

All three guest reviews have given the hotel four out of five stars. Guests were satisfied with the location (rooms "20 feet from the pool and 50 yards from the ocean"), the rooms and even the green attributes like "green flushing instructions." <p>There were, of course, a few service-related kinks that needed to be worked out, but that's to be expected of a brand new hotel (though still unacceptable) - but user <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g34709-d1026999-r17854953-Costa_d_Este_Beach_Resort-Vero_Beach_Florida.html">goldring</a> suggested maybe the staff should go to Jenna 2008-07-29T12:12:13-05:00 27.6519180 -80.356093 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/6/20/10454/9722 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/gloriaestefannewhotel.jpg" class="imgborder"><p>Miami Sound Machine fans, you can soon stay in <b>Gloria Estefan's</b> new hotel.
