...Sand. Jamaica's six-story, 176-room Arawak (up to $58 a day for double with meals) is designed for aficionados of Miami Beach styling: rippling concrete, bright colors, polygonal swimming pool, straw-and-mahogany decor. Its planner was Morris Lapidus, architect of Florida's Fontainebleau, Eden Roc and Americana, who likes his hotels to "tickle and amuse." The $4,000,000 Arawak is set on Jamaica's smart north shore in sunny palm groves between a high, green range of mountains and the azure Caribbean, has a white sand beach. Owners: an international group headed...
HOUSING Deep Dish To bring year-around outdoor living indoors. Builder Hillard Man last week showed a basement swimming pool in his new Eden Roc development at Smithtown, Long Island.

To build the Fontainebleau and the Eden Roc, waivers had to be secured allowing private-land to be put to commercial use; for its site the Americana had to go six miles north of Lincoln Road-the Beach's main stem-to Bal Harbour, which is, strictly speaking, outside Miami Beach...
Last week the Miami Beach city council was considering a proposal to hold the zoning line, prohibit hotel building north of the Eden Roc. Established hotelkeepers, fearful of competition, argued for the ban; merchants, fearful of atrophy, argued against. As the argument raged, Hotelman Sam Cohen (Casablanca, Sherry Frontenac) announced his own solution: to save time, he was tearing down the old Macfadden-Deauville, put up in 1925 at a cost of $500,000, replacing it with the new Deauville at a cost of $25 million...
