Accommodation
A Wide Range of Accommodation
Florida has a range of accommodation to suit all tastes and budgets. Whether it is luxury beach resorts or more modest B&Bs, there is something for everyone.
All-Inclusive Florida Holidays
All-inclusive holidays are good for those who do not want the hassle of arranging everything themselves. With accommodation, food, drinks and some leisure activities included it can also be a good way of sticking to a budget. Most companies offer a range of hotels so if the holidaymaker wants luxury there are a range of resorts to suit their requirements. Holidaymakers can choose the location and amenities that they want.
Luxury Resorts
The West Palm Beach area and Boca Raton have plenty of luxury hotels. Several luxury hotels are located right on the beachfront and feature outdoor pools, salons and spas, tennis courts, fitness centres, children’s programmes, restaurants and a variety of activities for guests including bike tours, windsurfing, sailing, snorkelling and kayaking. Resorts in Florida Keys offer luxury accommodation including rooms, villas and suites. These hotels feature restaurants, spas, swimming pools and plenty of activities for children and teens. Some of the more popular hotels in Florida offer fishing, water sports and dolphin interaction programmes. Luxury resorts for adults only are available in Florida and these are accessible only by boat or seaplane. Many of these resorts offer room only, half-board and full-board packages. For those who want something really unique, an underwater research centre which functions as a research lab in Florida, provides members of the public with an overnight stay.
Smaller Hotels and B&B Accommodation
For those with a restricted budget, Florida has a range of hotels and motels which, whilst offering fewer facilities than the more expensive hotels, still have plenty of amenities. These hotels or motels may offer room only or B&B options. Often the rooms will have their own kitchenettes so guests can dine in. Most rooms will have TVs, air-conditioning, coffee makers, ironing boards and internet access. Shared facilities may include washing machines, swimming pools, games rooms and DVD libraries. Budget hotels are easier to find in some locations than others. Miami tends to have fewer budget hotels and holidaymakers need to ensure that their hotel is in a good location. In Key West in the Florida Keys it is possible to find a number of B&B establishments in the old town. Some of these are located in historic buildings and have shared gardens and terraces. B&B accommodation ranges from old Victorian houses to boutique hotels to seaside suites and can be found in every region of Florida.
Self-catering Holiday Home Rentals
Florida has a wide range of holiday rentals, from apartments to spacious villas. These can be a good option for families. Such places have all the amenities of home and may also have private swimming pools and tennis courts. Some are located on the beachfront whilst others are in a town or complex. Self-catering accommodation is also available. The Florida Keys have a number of campsites on which holidaymakers can rent one-bedroom cabins or more luxurious lodges.
