South beach has more places to walk to, but mid/north beach has nicer places to stay (IMO).
Mid/North beach:
Fountain Bleau is a nice place. Blu Bar is a great place to have drink. Crazy and interesting and different crowd all the time.
Canyon Ranch is in North Beach. Private access to beach. World class spa. Organic restaurant downstairs (puke). Normans Tavern across the street for your sports bar fix. But other than that, it's far from all the fun stuff Miami Beach has to offer. (this is my regular spot). I like it because it really just promotes relaxation and healthy living. Always leave feeling like I want to stay longer; that's a good sign.
South beach is where all the noise is at. I've only stayed there once; not my thing, but there are a lot of places within walking distance. If you really want to try that whole experience out, would suggest be around Lincoln road
Heck, you're almost there, I say wait til mid march and go then. Ultra music festival is a two week event this year and is insane. The whole Island just vibrates. Go big or go home...just don't expect much sleep. (that's if you could find a place).
