Which Vice City places does Rockstar name?

The official presentation describes a modern city with distinct neighborhoods. Ocean Beach brings a beach and Art Deco hotel setting, Little Cuba includes street bakeries, and the Port of Vice City is a cruise hub. These are named settings; they do not confirm an accessible hotel room, shop interaction or port mission.
