WITH back-to-school time just around the corner, the public-versus-private school debate is back in the spotlight, and is one that can cause angst for parents.
Price is often a swaying factor in the decision, but there are plenty of other arguments for and against either side.
So where do you stand?
Natasha Christian speaks with parents on how they made their decision.
FOR Marie Dawson, the decision to send her daughter Kaitlyn to Bribie State High School was made easy with the help of her primary school principal.
Ms Dawson was searching for a school that would continue a high-quality music program similar to what her daughter had experienced at Banksia Beach State School.
"Principal Jacqui King mentioned she worked closely with Bribie High School. That's why we decided to send her there. A lot of her friends go there as well," she said.
"Based on what Ms King has said, we are going to stick with Bribie."
While Kaitlyn was yet to start high school, she already had plans for the future to study at university to become a lawyer.
Marie felt sending her to a public school would place her at no disadvantage to achieve this.
"We've met with the counsellor and vice-principal at Bribie and we are very excited."
A bit of an all-rounder, Kaitlyn is also keen on sports. However, Marie felt sport was not a reason to sway decisions on schools.
"We will put her into a club. Sporting is good, but for the future, you need the academic sector," she said.
As for primary schools, Marie was also getting ready to start her son in grade one at Banksia Beach.
"He will be taking part in the music program as well," she said.
Pros and cons of public schools
Pro: Money can be saved for future expenses such as university, travelling and first car.
Pro: Some say it's more "real world" experience, with wider socio-economic and ethnic diversity.
Pro/con: Not affiliated with any religion.
Pro/con: Only co-ed.
Con: Generally larger class sizes.
Con: Relies solely on government funding, which can be limited.
THERESA Lymbery knew she had made the right decision in sending her children to St Eugene Catholic College when her daughter Tahlia graduated as vice-captain with an OP 4.
With her son Jacob about to start Year 11, Theresa was confident he would go down a similar path.
"Our major concern with putting the kids into the state system when the time came was that they would be lost in the system," she said.
"The state primary schools in the region are so large, with so many preschoolers/preppies starting on day one, and I hated the thought of them being just another face in the crowd."
She said St Eugene offered a smaller school with a community where she felt welcomed from the first time she walked through the gates.
"We started with the parents' group, where we met families that were already enrolled into the school and had older children attending and had positive feedback from them."
While she said she was concerned about the costs, she said the close-knit community made it worth it for her kids.
"I feel that they have more connection with the community and community issues," she said.
"St Eugene has a buddy system that buddies big kids with little kids, which makes the transition from lower to middle to upper school grades easier.
"It gives the little kids a personal connection with seniors so they don't appear big and scary, and it gives the seniors a sense of responsibility. I feel that this gives the kids more confidence and that certainly would be an advantage in later life."
While Theresa acknowledged that the public system was a better choice for a lot of families, she felt the private system was the right choice for her family.
"We wanted our children to have the best education available and were concerned about falling through the cracks in the public system. However, I think if you have gifted or remedial students, that the public system is a better alternative."
Pros and cons of a private school
Pro: Smaller class sizes
Pro: Often private schools span primary and high school, making the school run a lot easier
Pro: Boarding facilities
Pro/con: Single-sex education available
Con: Some have suggested it is a "sheltered environment"
Con: There can be more pressure to achieve to maintain prestige.

"Comfortable ride with good handling and tons of room"
Love the care, has lots of room for passengers and tons of trunk space. Handles excellent for a large car, only downside is that it is underpowered with the 210hp V-6. Other than that, love the car. Used it for just about everything, even took the wife and 2 kids camping in it with plenty of room for all of our stuff.

ممثلين مصرية صور سكس In a recent episode Snake Eyes was counting on Hi-Tech to tell him where Zartan was, apparently Snake Eyes no longer has any Ninja senses. مصرية 0020 So as far as I am concerned Sigma Six gets a thumbs up from me! After his fight with Vegeta, Goku is hospitalized in Wukong Hospital. مصرية 0020 They don`t look pure energy like they are in the anime but just like slow motion fire.
مصرية 0020 even though the manga went through brief phases where it was slow. At the end of the movie all i could do was ask `Why did they make this movie and who did they make this movie for? OK people I can tell you that I gave up on the anime some time after episode 50. After his fight with Vegeta, Goku is hospitalized in Wukong Hospital. مصرية 0020 If you disagree then look at Orichimaru`s snakes they were the most cheesy things i ever looked at. مصرية بتتناك | SSVSCH Streaming Videos Http://tamugaia.com/s While the original `Naruto` cartoon started off with a lot of momentum, there were moments where it tended to lag, especially during the Sasuke Retrieval arc.
مصرية 0020 But the movie is far better than Dragonball Evolution. From observing the promotion materials of Dragonball, it seems that Fox doesn`t want to do this movie at all.

Understanding And Treating Autism What Causes AutismWhenever a doctor informs the parents that their child is suffering with Autism, the first &foremost question that is thrown over him is - How did it happen? How did my child get thisdisease?Well, there is no definite answer to what are the exact causes of Autism. Yet, there are varioustheories that the researchers and doctors are working on. Interestingly, it is found that Autism israther common in boys than girls.Earlier, it was believed that Autism occurred due to emotional trauma. Hence, bad parentingwas added to its causes. The doctors said that mothers not giving their children enoughattention & love were a problem. However, these factors were proved wrong with enough study& research.The most known theory regarding the causes of Autism is - Genetic. Some researchers feelthat individuals are born with the predisposition to be Autistic. Later on some environmentaltriggers make them Autistic. They say, there are several genes that lead to Autism, but are yetto find them.Environmental factors are found to make a great impact on Autism. Studies show that there areseveral cases of Autism in small towns that are exposed to high levels of toxins & chemicals.Usually, towns located near the industrial areas or factories have quite toxic air that triggersAutism among children.Another interesting theory regarding Autism links it to mercury. They say, as Autism was firstdiagnosed near about the same time when vaccines were given, Autism was caused due to themercury content in the vaccines.Mercury or thimersal in the vaccines in todays date is almost nil or in mere trance amounts.Also there could be several other risks if these vaccines are not given to the child. So, one findsno reason to blindly blame the vaccines and hence avoid them in order to prevent Autism.© Wings Of Success Page 8 of 40
Understanding And Treating AutismRather high level of mercury can be met by eating a lot of fish, or being exposed to the industrialemissions. Research says that there might be a certain link amidst the expecting mothers andtheir children being Autistic. Now, the researchers are testing the pregnant womens exposureto mercury and they would further study the babies at birth. This would help them monitor, ifthere theory is proved true or not.Further Autism is linked with some underlying health issues. It is said that children sufferingwith diseases like Fragile X Syndrome and Congenital Rubella have higher chances of beingAutistic.Metabolic imbalance is another perception. Researchers say that metabolic imbalance in thechild might also lead to Autism.In order to get through the right cause of Autism, much more study and analysis is required.Hopefully there would be a day when we would be able to prevent and cure the disease. Untilthen, we must fight back the disease with courage.© Wings Of Success Page 9 of 40
Understanding And Treating Autism Accepting The Diagnosis Of AutismWhen you hear that your child has been diagnosed with autism, the worst thoughts come toyour mind. You can feel scared, lonely and overwhelmed. All of these feelings are natural whendealing with a new situation, but it doesnt have to be terrifying. There are many organizationsand people to help along the way. During the process of coping with the diagnosis of autism,you may go through a mixture of feelings. Here is what to expect and the stages of dealing withthe diagnosis.Stage 1 - Denial: This is common and usually happens immediately after you hear thediagnosis. You could think not my child or the doctors have to be wrong. There is nothing wrongwith getting a second opinion but if a second opinion confirms what has been told, dont keepdragging your child from doctor to doctor hoping for something different. Its important to movepast this stage of the process because denying the existence of autism isnt going to helpanyone, especially the child. The quicker parents accept the diagnosis of autism, the quickertreatment can begin.Stage 2 - Anger: Getting angry is a natural human emotion. There are different ways to gothrough this anger. You can get mad at yourself, thinking you did something wrong. You can getangry at God, questioning why your child has autism. You may even get mad at other parentswith healthy children, wondering why they dont have to deal with autism. The key when dealingwith anger is speaking to someone about it. Speak to someone you trust. Your doctor might beable to refer you to a counselor who can help with these issues.Stage 3 - Grief: Grief is a very strong emotion, but a natural one in dealing with bad news.Feeling sad is not a bad thing though, so you should never feel guilty about feeling heartbroken.However, dont let this emotion overwhelm you because you might transfer this onto your childwho might blame themselves, thinking they did something wrong. Working past grief isimportant, but its also a natural process. If you notice you are sitting in stage three too long orpeople around you think you have been grieving too long, seek the help of a counselor.Stage 4 - Acceptance: It may have taken some time to get to this stage, but this is the endresult in coping with the diagnosis of autism. At this point, you can finally move on with your© Wings Of Success Page 10 of 40
Understanding And Treating Autismchildren and get the best care. Your child is different and this isnt a bad thing, nor should youever feel that way. Once you finally accept an autism diagnosis, you and your child can move onto have a happy life. Having autism doesnt change that.Autism can be difficult to manage, especially depending on the severity of the case. There areservices to help you, so you never have to feel overwhelmed. If you ever spend too long in anyone of the first three stages, seek counseling because those specialized in these kind of caseswill be able to help you move on. Not only is it important for parents to accept their child hasautism for their own sake, but for the childs as well. The only way to really help your child is byaccepting the course of their life.© Wings Of Success Page 11 of 40
Understanding And Treating Autism Doctors And Diagnosing AutismHearing your child has autism can be a heart wrenching ordeal. Your first inclination might be toget a second opinion and no one would stop you. However, once your child has been diagnosedwith autism, instead of looking for a way out, you should begin treatment. There are signs tolook for if you think your child might suffer from autism. If you witness any of problems orabnormal behavior, call your doctor.Autism is a brain development disorder and is usually diagnosed before a child turns threeyears old. Here are some symptoms to look for in your child.- If your child is showing speech regression, there might be a reason for concern. Also, if yourchild is taking a long time to start talking, longer than most children at that age.- Another problem you might see is the way your child interacts with other children. Perhapsyour child refuses to play with other children or doesnt seem to respond well in social settings,you should visit a doctor to get more information.If a doctor suspects a problem, they will perform a battery of tests. Every child is different, soone test will not show if a child has autism. Every child has different symptoms and responds tothe disorder differently. Your family doctor will do a full work up with family history. If your doctordoes suspect any problems, your doctor may refer you to a specialist in autism and similardisorders to get a proper diagnosis.A doctor will start with performing auditory tests. There could be other reasons your child isntspeaking well or not playing well. It could be due to hearing problems. There are two ways to doa hearing test. The first way is done while a child is awake and reacts to the tones he or shehears. The other is done while the child is sedated and a machine measures the brain activity tocertain tones.Blood and urine tests are usually taken as well to analyze DNA. The doctor is probably lookingfor the Fragile X syndrome, which normally shows up in children with autism. Along with DNAtests, the doctor may perform an MRI or a CAT scan to examine brain functions.© Wings Of Success Page 12 of 40
Understanding And Treating AutismIf your child does get diagnosed with autism, its important to give your child structure. This isgoing to start with the doctor. Dont drag your child around to the three or four doctors hopingthe diagnosis is going to change. Get one doctor who is going to give your child a uniformtreatment.

Similarly, there are many stages that achild reaches in his growth process. Though there is no fixed time span for all these stages, ifthe child is showing a delayed response in every step, you must check with the doctor.2. Your child is not able to talk.As children get aware of the environment around them they show responses in several ways.They start blurting a few words at a very young age and suddenly some day you realize thatthey are able to speak full sentences. The usual age when the child starts babbling some wordsis 16 months. In case your child does not react with words even after 16 months, it can surelybe a matter of concern. The doctor might call for some evaluation tests that are necessary.3. Your child does not make any eye contact.Babies & children usually look at you while you talk to them. Children suffering with Autismavoid all sorts of eye contact. They seem to be lost elsewhere rather than looking at you. Trypointing out an object to them and they would look past the object, reacting nothing to what youtell them.4. Your does not emote.Children suffering with Autism do not emote at all.

Understanding And Treating Autismwont react to any such situation. Unlike the normal kids, an Autistic child does not like to becuddled or held in the arms. They would not approach their parents to be hugged or cuddled.5. Your child likes to be alone.Children suffering with Autism normally do not play with the kids around them. They rather liketo be left alone and play all by themselves. They make very few friends or may be none. Theycan not differentiate jokes. As a result, they would follow each and every word told to themliterally.6. The child keeps forgetting anything taught to him.You taught him to make the bed today and just 4 days later he behaves as if he never knewanything about it. Autistic children can not retain anything you teach them. They need to betold about the very basic chores & skills time & again.These are very few symptoms of Autism. Also we must understand that all children sufferingwith Autism wont show all the signs together. They might show one or some of them. If younote any of these in your child consult your doctor and get the essential evaluations done withintime. Remember, the earlier you diagnose the ailment, the sooner you can initiate thetreatment.

Understanding And Treating Autism Let Your Autistic Child be a KidParenting an Autistic child, we often forget that your childs life needs some thing more than thedoctors & therapists. We become so protective and concerned about every little movement inhis life, that we allow them no time to be kids. It is indeed important & helpful to allow them alittle time in the day to let them do what they like. Here is a list of a few things that would surelypamper the kid within your child.1. Let your Autistic child choose his activity or game at a certain time in each day. May it beplaying with his favorite toy or game or following a hobby like drawing or painting. This brings ina break from doctors & therapies for the child.2. Plan activities out for your Autistic child. For instance, a dinner at the food joint he relishesthe most, or a picnic at a near by park. Such activities can be planned once a week. At timesthe child prefers spending time with their grandparents as well.3. If you keep your child too protected and do not let him mingle with the other kids, he mightdevelop a sort of phobia. Let him run, jump and yell like the other children. Kids love to getdirty and they have real fun in it. Allow your child to get dirty as it wont harm him as you think.A bath can wash away the mud but he shall have his share of fun.4. Being autistic doesnt mean that your child can not lead a normal life. You must teach him tohave courage and achieve whatever he aspires to do. Their condition should not become ahurdle in their path any which ways.5. At this tender age, kids often hold on to all possible excuses to get a special treatment.Dont let Autism become a reason or excuse for your child. Punish him for his mistakes andmake him face the consequences. This would help him become a strong individual in a longerrun.6. Give simple tasks to the child that are part of the daily chores like making the bed or packingthe bag for school. Make sure the child is able to do them and reward him for the same. Thiswould enhance his confidence and give him a sense of accomplishment.© Wings Of Success Page 24 of 40

Understanding And Treating Autism Autistic Children Need SchedulesChildren at all ages whether 3 or 13, often complain of boredom. Making them do what you wantbut they dont is indeed cracking a hard nut. Especially dealing with special needs like that of anAutistic child, making schedule is a great help. There are several agendas in a day that we needto manage as an efficient parent like the childs school, his therapy, doctors appointment,homework & studies, the daily chores, etc., and the driving force behind all the above - yourchilds health and growth.Scheduling creates a pre-defined structure for the child where he knows what to expect next,what would he do tomorrow and where would he be placed at a given point of time. Often thechildren suffering with Autism have certain anxiety issues. Whenever they are left free to thinkwide without any guidance, they might shift to such depressing thoughts. A well designedschedule leaves less or no extra time unguided and hence the anxiety level drops to a greatextent. This avoids any breakdowns in the necessary daily chores and the medical procedures.Making them do something essential but undesirable to them like completing the homeworkbecomes easier with a schedule. You make them shift to the task of studies of homework aftercompleting the prior task and target to accomplish the same in order to move to anotherwelcomed activity like drawing or outdoor games.With numerous check-ups, therapies and medical needs, managing your childs time table cansometimes be quite cumbersome, for instance overlapping of the therapists and the doctorsappointment. A schedule helps you keep a track of each appointment without fail.Once you have made a schedule for your child, draft it in the form of an attractive chart in hispersonal space or room. Let him follow the steps one after another on his own, of course withyour able guidance. This would enhance his self confidence and his decision making skills.At times the Autistic child has problem reading the words. Here comes the system of a VisualSchedule, where in every task or activity is allotted a symbol - a garden for outdoor games, astack of books for studies, and a stethoscope for the doctors appointment and a handshake forhis therapy hours.© Wings Of Success Page 26 of 40

As the child would beplanning things according to the schedule only, even a slight change could upset him. Soinvolve him in the change & the henceforth decision, as this would allow him to feel moreindependent and confident.In our day-to-day lives, there could be many hassles in sticking up to the set time table, but tryto do so as much as possible. For instance, if your child is used to wake up at 7 in the morning,continue the same on the weekends as well. Similarly, try not to divert his bed timings too much,as proper sleep would keep your child healthier.A demo schedule is shown below:7 AM Wake up, Brush your teeth, Bathe, Wear the uniform, Pack your bag8 AM Breakfast8:15 AM Board the School Bus2 PM Coming home Wash your hands, Change your dress2:30 PM Lunch3 PM Nap Time4 PM Have milk, Study Time5:30 PM Leisure6 PM Outdoor Games7 PM Watch Cartoons8 PM Bathing8:30 PM Dinner9 PM Bed TimeAs a parent, as the experts say, you are sure to find improvement in your child with the definedschedules.

They want to do the same thing all the time, eat the same meal orjust continue to do the same action over and over. This can include continually clapping theirhands or twiddling their fingers.- Along the same lines, children with PDD-NOS like routine. They want to do the same thing atthe same time everyday. They dont like when their schedule goes off track. If it happens, theycould have an outburst or a temper tantrum that isnt a normal reaction to the situation. Childrenwith PDD-NOS might set up their room in a certain way and if things are moved could get veryangry.- Some children will become obsessed with a certain object or subject. If they like airplanes,they may learn everything they can. They will have pictures of them and stare at them in thesky. These obsessive behaviors usually only happen with one thing and the child wont care formuch of anything else.- Learning a new skill is hard for children with PDD-NOS.

This is milder than autism andwill not have all of the symptoms of autism, but a developmental problem.A doctor will go through a list of criteria to determine if your child PDD-NOS. Assessments willbe done in a number of areas.Medical Assessment: If there are any health problems your child is showing a doctor will do aphysical to see if there are any other medical conditions present. A doctor will run a number oftests including hearing, blood and urine tests.Educational Assessment: Your doctor will check out your child's educational level based onwhere they are supposed to be. There are many different areas the doctor will check such asdressing, bathing, social interaction and other social skills. This can be assessed by interviewingparents, teachers and others who are with the child often. You can also keep a journal ofeverything your child does and how the child interacts to give to the doctor.Psychological Assessment: A psychologist will be on hand to interview the child to see ifthere are any mental disorders. Some of the symptoms your child is having could be from otherconditions and your doctor will want to rule anything out.Behavior Observation Assessment: A doctor may want to observe your child in his or hernatural setting. By watching the child, a doctor will be able to gauge what is going on. They willsee firsthand how the child acts around other children their age and in the home environment.Communication Assessment: A doctor will test a childs communication skills because this isan important piece of information to see if a child has autism or PPD-NOD. This doesnt have tobe just through words. The doctor will test body language, facial expressions and other forms ofcommunication.© Wings Of Success Page 37 of 40
Understanding And Treating AutismOccupational Assessment: Your childs motor skills are an important way to determine if yourchild has autism or PDD-NOS. This will consist of tests that check the function of the childsmotor skills and the childs senses. A child might dislike a certain texture or smell. This isimportant when figuring out what is wrong with the child.Many of these assessments are done while interviewing the parents, teachers or anyone elsethat is close to the child. A child might exhibit different symptoms at different moments. Thatswhy its imperative to get as many people as you can to give information to the doctor or anyoneelse involved in the patients care. These people will have plenty of knowledge to give thedoctors. Dont be shy in finding anyone who can help.After the assessments are complete your doctor or pediatrician will meet with other doctors todiagnose the problem. Here the doctors will decide if the child has autism or PervasiveDevelopmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified. Once a child is diagnosed with PPD-NOS,a treatment plan will be given to help your child. This will help your child to have a normal lifeand communicate with people better. Getting a diagnosis is the first step in helping your childhas a better life.© Wings Of Success Page 38 of 40

Next stop on their world tour! Johnny Depp and Amber Heard jet into Germany with his children
It's certainly an unconventional summer break - but it's one Johnny Depp's children will surely never forget.
Having joined their father on his tour to promote his new movie The Lone Ranger, Lily-Rose and Jack are seeing the world.
After spending two days exploring the busy Japanese city of Tokyo, it was time for some culture as the group jetted into Berlin in Germany.
Joining them was Johnny's girlfriend Amber Heard.
Going strong: Amber Heard was seen arriving in Berlin, Germany with Johnny Depp and his kids on Thursday
The foursome were seen stepping out of their jet, donning some of the same ensembles they wore for their departure.
Amber, 27, looked comfy casual, donning a black maxi skirt, sleeveless white blouse, and sandals.
hair was styled straight and flowing past her left shoulder as she
carefully made her way down the plane's stairs, following an
unidentified female friend.
Lily-Rose, 14, followed while Johnny, 50, aided his son Jack, holding onto the metal railing and looking back to ensure his child's safety down the steps.
Jack looked cool in a pair of cuffed jeans and simple white T-shirt, as Johnny showed his signature style in a tan, collared shirt, black vest, and coordinating blaser.
You got it! Johnny made sure his son Jack could manage the steps
teamed the pieces with a pair of distressed denim trousers with pink, a
khaki, brimmed hat, and a pair of blue-tinted shades, also
accessorising with colourful jewellery and bandanas.
The $225 million Disney movie has been deemed one of the biggest box office flops of the year after it pulled in a disappointing $49million over its opening weekend, so the actor has been working extra hard to ensure international audiences see the movie.
Depp plays Native American warrior Tonto, who recounts the story of his experiences with The Lone Ranger (Hammer).
Big girl: Johnny's daughter Lily Rose was also seen leaving the plane, walking alone
Heard appears to be a rock for Depp throughout the promotional tour and even flew into Moscow to join him on the Russian leg.
couple met on the set of The Rum Diary in 2010, but were only
romantically linked last year in the wake of the actor's split from
Vanessa Paradis.
They have been reluctant to talk about their relationship and in a recent interview with Bullet magazine Heard refused to answer questions about the private island Depp reportedly bought her, saying: 'The island ... is my private life.'

The design duo behind Dolce & Gabbana have been sentenced—along with five other people—to jail time of one year and eight months, reports WWD. Their crime: tax evasion. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana were found guilty by Judge Antonella Brambilla in a Milan court today for failing to declare 1 billion euros in income. They were accused of selling Dolce & Gabbana goods in 2004 to Gado Srl, a Luxembourg-based company, to avoid paying taxes. Dolce and Gabbana are expected to appeal the ruling. Two years ago, the designers were accused of a similar crime, and the case was thrown out by a judge. Will the law be on their side this time? Stay tuned for further updates.

Historical Traveler Reviews The Park Central Miami Beach
The Park Central exceeded my expectations!
We love this hotel & will be staying here again. The hotel looked new; the front desk was very helpful & friendly. The housekeeping was excellent &. The rooms were large & clean. The location was GREAT & Very convenient. This would be a nice honeymoon spot. We would definitely stay there again.
The BEST place to stay on South Beach!
From start to finish, the Park Central was a delight. Our rooms were nicely decorated, very clean, and the featherbeds are to die for! Our room had an nice ocean view (well worth the slight up-charge) and the service was friendly and prompt. Our rate included a full breakfast, which was an excellent value, and our dinner in their sidewalk resturaunt on our last night there was the best we'd had in South Beach (don't miss the mashed potatoes) By far the best part was Mario-the world's best doorman. His hospitality and great tips on where to go made our trip fantastic!
Great Place but beware....
I stayed in the hotel for my birthday two years ago which was my first time there. Its a great hotel on the end of south beach away from the mad crowds and yet close to the fun. When i stayed there ABC was there and Diane Sawyer doing the big J LO interview. The hotel staff treated us great. So great i took my girlfriend to the hotel as a suprise for her birthday. And like the other person i was stuck in the back of the hotel. Our door was in the fire escape. You all know how at the end of the hallway there is a door leading to the stairs-our room was behind that door in the fire escape. Be careful when booking there.
Great Hotel!
We searched the Web for a decent hotel in Miami Beach that was close to the beach, in the middle of the South Beach fun and not too expensive.
We were really lucky to have found The Park Central. From the moment we arrived the staff went out of their way to make sure that we enjoyed our trip. The doorman (Mario) was always friendly and offered good advice on restaurants and bars. The rooms we had (there were 3 couples in our group) were clean and well maintained. The complimentary breakfast each day was excellent. While this is by no means a hip or trendy hotel, it is located in the heart of South Beach and within walking distance of just about anywhere you might want to go. Whenever I return to South Beach, you can be certain that I will be staying at The Park Central.
Great vacation
Nice hotel in a good location with good ocean views. After much searching on the web we went for this hotel based on confort, service and location - Had a great ocean facing suite which compensates for the smallish bedroom. Very clean with inpecable service and good breakfasts (negotiate complimentary if you can). This hotel is great for hanging out, not hip or too crowded and therfore they try that much harder. If you want the in crowd try the Nash, Tides or The hotel of South Beach - but are they really worth the money?This is a better than average 3* plus hotel and can't be faulted - recommended.
Business Man's delight
When in Miami go South Beach . As a business traveler I am always looking for places that are in the thick of things and Park Central has it all. The Staff was helpful and the service prompt. Rooms are clean and comfortable. More importantly they are located in the heart of South Beach fun. clubs, dancing and lots of people hanging out. I Started in the hotel bar at 8PM and ended up back in my room at 2AM all on a Monday night.
Wonderful hotel
We have stayed at the Park Central three times, the last time in August 2003. We love the place, nice clean rooms, friendly staff and most importantly for me accessible. I am a wheelchair user and I stay in a wonderful wheelchair accessible room, with a roll-in shower and wonderful view of the ocean. i have access to all the areas ofthe hotel and there is a ramp leading to the front door. A truely lovely place and we will be back next year. Oh I nearly forgot, the manager placed a lovely bunch of roses in our room, because we had stayed there more than once.
Everything I Had Hoped
Being from a city that specializes in hospitality, I am always a little nervous when staying somewhere new. I had read enough reviews of this hotel to give it a shot and I must say that I was not disappointed.
The hotel is actually two buildings. The main building houses the regular rooms. The building to the left of the main hotel is the Heathcote Apartment building. This is where the Suites are and where we stayed. We got a fantastic deal through Orbitz. The Suite building has it's own key access. Our suite was like an economy apartment. A kitchen, foyer, living room, bedroom and bath. Keep in mind that this building was built in the 30's or 40's. Decor was very nice and amenities were as well.
The staff was very nice and helpful. For a small daily fee, I was able to use a pass for the Miami Beach Public Parking Garage one block back.
All in all a very pleasant experience.
Just got back from a quick, two nite trip to SoBe and had a great time at the Park Central. Very clean, nicely restored to its deco grace, very cool lobby and bar, nice little pool. Lots of nice touches - cotton bedding and period furnishings, bottled water in your room every day, affordable room service, helpful and smiling faces everywhere. Our room was less than a hundred bucks, but next time we'll splurge a little and get a room facing the water. We'll definitely return to the Park Central.
Nice Place / Great Deal
After reading a bunch of reviews, we got a rate of less than $100 for late December. We wanted to stay in a nice older place with character and not a faceless chain type place. We got what we wanted.We arrived around 11pm and checked in to the quiet lobby. When we went to the room we were disappointed. The room was large and clean but the view was horrible. It looked out on the back alley and it was noisey because of an AC unit. Called down to the desk and asked to be moved. The desk person was really nice about it. He said he could move us to an ocean view room but it only had two double beds. We took it and it was much better.The bed was really small for two people but when we woke up the view was amazing. The bathroom was small as well but the fixtures had all been modernized and it was all very clean. This hotel is located in what I think is the prettiest section on SB. Right on Ocean Drive with a beautiful park right in front of the building that leads to the beach. Awesome.We didn't eat at the hotel but the bar and restaurnat area looked really nice. We did take advantage of the really small gym area. It was too cold to use the pool and it too was really small but come on...the beach is right across the street.We got lucky with the Ocean view room even though the beds were too small. Why don't they just put a King in there? I'm not sure what the other rooms are like but the furniture was very nice period reproductions. Very tasteful.This is not a glitzy hotel but it's clean, comfotrtable and it has class.We stopped by the Delano to check it out. We botht hought it was kind of a joke. Trying way too hard. The Parc Central was cool and unpretentious. Highly recommended especially if you are paying lesss then $150.
