Very good question! One that I think I would definitely like to answer....
MIAMI: Layout-3 Location-0 Cleanliness-0 Food service-?? Mutuels-1

I am indifferent about the layout of the Miami fronton. I think
that the location speaks for itself!
Cleanliness....well, I guess if you don't mind
sticking to the floor and brown carpet from the 80's you're fine!
I have never eaten there. The only time I went to bet, the only
2 tellers were cuban girls that were texting their boyfriends
while making my ticket. However, they did get it right.

Hamilton...Great fronton! I don't care for the layout TOO much
just because the building is definitely aimed at drawing attention
to that poker room as soon as you enter. Plus, I think there are
only about 50 or 60 seats for court viewing. I could be wrong,
but there's not many. It is right off of the interstate which
I will give it credit for. It's also very clean, probably because
it's new. I haven't eaten here either. If you want to see Jai
Alai in a clean setting, this is your place to go. As far as the
tellers go, they're laughable. They laugh at YOU if you try to
bet on Jai Alai. No joke. Overall I give this a 3.
FT. PIERCE: I have only been there once, and they wouldn't even sell me a program because they were going to be given away at the door. I was passing through and tried to buy one just for kicks. Way to go Ft. Pierce! Did look like a pretty nice place though. Also nice court.
OCALA: Layout-3 Location-2 Cleanliness-3 Food Service-3 Mutuels-4

I think that Ocala is a very fun place to watch some good Jai
Alai. It's the one place, that I feel like I'm at the ballpark.
The fans here are very much into the game, and I love it! The
layout is very nice. As far as location goes, I'm suprised that
they're still in business. Still, even for that weird drive to
the big horse pasture, its better than getting shot in Miami.
Fairly clean too. I like the snack bar they have. The tellers
are very knowledgable about the game and very courteous.
ORLANDO: Layout-2 Location-3 Cleanliness-2 Food Service-2 Mutuels-3

What can I say about Orlando? The only place you can play our
great sport! The layout is alright. I like the location, I just
don't care for Orlando traffic too much. I would say average on
cleanliness. I do like the snack bar. The tellers are knowledgable,
and courteous at least during my visits. Also, it seems like the
last place that cares alot for the game. If I couldn't go in and
throw the ball around, I probably wouldn't even go to Florida!
Not to mention it's very cool that they have the Citrus every
year, even though I never can make it!!!!
DANIA: Layout-4 Location-3 Cleanliness-3 Food Service-3 Mutuels-3
Overall-4
Dania is my favorite fronton. I love the layout. Of course, before
the new remodel in 2007. I do like the location, I always stay
right down the street at the Sleep Inn, so I may be partial. They
always seem to keep it clean, and the players (usually) have tidy
uniforms. The court is very nice for a court that is played on
7 days a week. I like the flags and decorations, including the
very cool hallway by the old teller booths that has the huge posters.
I love the snack bar layouts, and you can go to one of several
places and get a beer or a cheap hot dog. The tellers are always
nice and the play is very exciting with the best players in the
world. Overall I would rate this one a 4.
