Accommodation Choices in Florida

Florida is a tourism hotspot and one of the most popular destinations for holiday makers in North America.  A whopping 85 million visitors take a vacation in Florida each year. The proximity of Florida on the East Coast of the US coupled with it's sizzling summer temperatures make it a magnet for holiday makers. This makes the accommodation industry in Florida big business, with an estimated 1 million people employed directly.

Below we have outlined the two most popular types of accommodation in Florida.


- Florida Hotels

Hotels are by the far the most popular type of accommodation used in Florida and there are plenty to choose from.  Ranging from the very basic B n B style 2 star hotels right upto more luxurious
5 star hotels.  There are many different types of Florida Hotels to choose from but a typical Cheap Florida Hotel will include a bed, furniture, television and a bathroom.  Don't worry if there are no restaurant facilities in the hotel where you stay, Florida has plenty of places to eat out!  If you are wishing to stay in a higher rated hotel (4/5 star) you may find additional facilities including spas, gymnasiums, swimming pools, tennis courts and saunas. Some Florida Hotels aside from providing conventional rooms, are now also offering a full suite complete with kitchen facilities.


- Florida Villas

The principal alternative to a booking a hotel is to stay at one of the many superb Florida Villas.   A Villa will typically include separate bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom (s) plus a washing machine and / or a dryer. You will usually pay a fixed price for the length of time that you are there and there will be maximum number of people who can stay. Should you need further places you will probably be charged.  Note that it is unlikely that a Florida Villa will have one bedroom per person.  More often than not a one-bedroom apartment may sleep 2 - 4 people as there will be a fold down sofa in the bedroom and the beds themselves will be double beds.
