After booking your Florida flights you will then need to arrange appropriate accommodation. Do
you stay in a hotel or rent a private villa? Your choice will depend on the size of your family or
the number of people travelling with you.
For most European travellers they are used to staying in hotel accommodation when they go on their
usual holiday however Florida is not just another holiday destination. A private villa could be a
great option.
So what are the main differences between staying in a Private Florida villa against staying in a
hotel or motel accommodation?
Depending on the size of the number of people travelling you may not all fit into one hotel room
which would result in extra costs getting more than one hotel room. There is also the issue of
privacy depending on who is travelling with you on your holiday to Florida. Most private homes or
villas come with two or more bedrooms and a fold down couch giving you a lot more room and space to
relax and put your belongings.
Villas are generally furnished to a very high standard and offer more space than any hotel room
would. Most villas are privately owned and the owners use them at certain times of the year.
There is a if you have more than one hotel room you may not get them together. It is even possible
that you might be on one floor and the other room could be on another. If the accommodation has more
than one building you could have one room in one and the other room in another.
Noisy neighbours can be a problem in the evenings if the people in the next room are out late and
are not particularly quiet upon their return. This can be particularly annoying if it happens a few
times and does not help you relax and enjoy your holiday.
In your Florida villa you will have cooking facilities should you wish as well as a fridge to stock
up with drinks so you don't need to keep going down to the next floor with your ice bucket and a
hand full of change for a vending machine.
In a villa you may or not have a pool if you do it will generally be quite small however it ill be
only you and your family using it. Generally in a hotel you will have a large pool which is shared
between all the guests.
In the off-peak and sometimes colder months of the year the pools require heating and in most villas
this comes at an extra cost. The charges for this vary but could be as much as $40 per day however
in a hotel there would be no charge.
