Hotels in Miami are never cheap--and Valentine's Day is no exception. But isn't it worth dropping a little more than you're used to at this time of year? Down in South Beach, there's a breeze in the balmy air and pools to wander about in. Clothes barely required.

Here are three hotels getting their romance on for guests checking in on or near February 14...

Turnberry Isle Resort : They may have ditched the Fairmont branding but you know that phrase, 'Go big or go home?' Yeah, Turnberry's all over that with its Love on the Rocks package. ]]> MsRebecca 2012-01-25T10:34:03-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2012/1/17/92125/1486

We know hotel valet parking can be astronomical, but how much do you think it costs to airlift your car onto the pool?

If you're Dwayne Wade, the answer is nada. In yet another installment of The Darndest Things Happen to Hotels When Celebrities are Staying There, the Miami Heat star had a huge 30th birthday bash at The Setai on Sunday night, where he received this lavish gift from a local car dealership.

TMZ has the exclusive photos of the elaborate steps it took to get the 2012 McLaren MP4-12C into the hotel's inner courtyard pool where the party took place, along with a shot of a beaming Wade receiving it.

In Miami for Thanksgiving? Congrats! It's going to be 77 degrees on Thursday. And we assume if you're visiting--and staying in a hotel--you won't be looking for a frozen bird and a stove, but a decadent spread to enjoy before stumbling back to your room for a post-feast nap.

Here are our top five picks for Thanksgiving tables on the beach:

1. The Fontainebleau: Because, hey, Ricky Martin's there! Also, they have a bunch of restaurants to choose from, all doing a holiday meal. If you want a Chinese spin, opt for Hakkasan. Italian? Scarpetta.

Miami is full of sexy hotels, we know that. But what about sexy bathrooms? You know, the kind that offer more than just your run-of-the-mill shower. A place to cool off after a day at the beach or to steam things up with your special someone.

Here are the Five Sexiest Hotel Bathrooms we've seen in Miami.

1. Soho Beach House (above)
Sexy Details: A soaking tub, full-sized Cowshed products, a comfy visitor's chair next to the tub--all in a pretty, sun-splashed bathroom the size of many Ocean Drive hotel rooms.

So there's only one way to do it--<b>go in the offseason</b> which is conveniently happening now. <p>We found totally doable rates for people with champagne tastes but limited budgets. And these are the deals you can get <i>directly from the hotel.</i> No Groupon, Private sale or Hotwire roulette needed. <p>However, what you will need is a little cash flow. The best hotels in Miami (HotelChatter approved, that is) aren't going to bottom out completely just because it's August and hurricane season is nearing.
