It\u2019s been here more than 50 years and has just been re-imagined,\u201d said Jeff Klein, the hotel\u2019s vice-president and general manager. The resort built a new hotel tower, renovated its two Robert Trent Jones Sr. golf courses \u2013 which have been redesigned by Raymond Floyd \u2013 and built \u201cTidal Cove,\u201d a state of the art, five-acre, luxury water park with cabanas and dining. Tidal Cove is a surprisingly elegant experience: exciting and enjoyable for children, teens and adults. Aventura Mall \u2013 one of the nation\u2019s top shopping experiences \u2013 is just outside the JW\u2019s entrance, and while famed Chef Michael Mina\u2019s Bourbon Steak restaurant is on-property, it\u2019s the only on-site celebrity presence you\u2019ll hear Klein talk about. \u201cWe are very discreet about stars staying on our 300-acres here. We keep their profile confidential. Someone famous staying here is just another day at Turnberry.\u201d<\/p>\n The Chiefs will be well-insulated at the resort. \u201cThere\u2019s only one way in and one way out. We\u2019re an oasis,\u201d said Klein, explaining that once the players are driven in the gate and are dropped at the secluded ballroom entrance it\u2019s up to them how much they would like to mingle with the other guests. \u201cWe\u2019re able to keep the players safe and give them a luxury experience.\u201d<\/p>\n But how does a resort go about feeding a team of massive professional football players for a week?<\/p>\n \u201cWhen the players come in it\u2019s like they\u2019re eating at home: they get exactly what they need before the game. And their requested menus are very specific,\u201d said Klein. \u201cTheir chef and dietitian typically work our chef for their needs which are very precise right down to the size of the broccoli florets and type of bread, peanut butter, almond butter and cashew butter. Some athletes eat chicken, some eat pork, and some are allowed to eat ice cream. There is no shortage of food being served in the ballrooms, privately, to these NFL teams that come in.\u201d<\/p>\n The JW Marriott Miami Turnberry also hosts most of the visiting teams that travel to Miami to play the Dolphins during the NFL regular season. University of Michigan alum Stephen Ross owns the Dolphins and the stadium in which the Super Bowl will be played. Klein said Ross is a friend of the hotel and the snazzy craft cocktail bar \u201cSoff\u2019s\u201d is named for Aventura\u2019s founder Don Soffer, whose vintage black and white photos with the Pope, Sinatra and other luminaries adorn one wall.<\/p>\n Klein previously served in similar roles at some of South Florida\u2019s other famous properties. \u201cMiami is a great spot for the Super Bowl because Miami itself is a world stage for culture. From Art Basel to boat shows, we attract some of the most prestigious people in this city to our events.\u201d<\/p>\n Will Klein be attending the Super Bowl?<\/p>\n \u201cThe tricky part about me going to the game is making sure I\u2019m back before the team in time for the post-party. Hopefully it\u2019s a victory party.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Contact<\/em>\u00a0Travel Writer Michael Patrick Shiels at\u00a0MShiels@aol.com<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0His radio program may be heard weekdays at\u00a0MiBigShow.com<\/a>\u00a0or in Lansing on WJIM am 1240\u00a0from 9-noon.
