Don Shula's Hotel and Golf Club

Frommer's Review

Guests come to Shula's mostly for the golf, but there's plenty here to keep nongolfers busy, too. Opened in 1992 to much fanfare from the sports and business community, Shula's resort is an all-encompassing oasis in the middle of the planned, quaint residential neighborhood of Miami Lakes, complete with a Main Street and nearby shopping facilities -- a good thing, since the site is more than a 20-minute drive from anything else. The guest rooms, located in the main building or surrounding the golf course, received a major, much needed upgrade in 2005, and even cooler, they opened a group of rooms with additional amenities designed specifically for the female travelers -- meaning better and more shampoos, soaps, creams, and so on. As expected, the hotel's Athletic Club features state-of-the-art equipment and is free to hotel guests. The newest addition to the resort is The Spa at Shula's, an Aveda Lifestyle Spa featuring massages, facials and something called the Duija, which is a choreographed simultaneous facial and pedicure. The award-winning Shula's Steak House and the more casual Steak House Two get high rankings nationwide. They serve huge Angus beef steaks and seafood, which can be worked off with a round of golf the next day.
