Our customer reviews of Florida...

"Florida is all our favourite winter destination - we go for the beautiful weather and the lovely beaches. Our favourite is the St. Petersburg and Clearwater area in on the west coast - it's very relaxing, with a great choice of really good restaurants and hotels, and an perfect base if you want to do day trips."

Mrs P Diggs, Cambridge, UK

"Have just back from a trip to Disney with my two  daughters. It was exhausting but truly memorable one! I'd suggest staying at one of the Disney resort hotels to  get complete experience - really convenient and we could get a rest and a swim in between trips to the park" 

Mr H Kingston, Leeds, UK

"Me and my husband  hired a car and took a 3-week road-trip in Florida. It's very easy to get about and there really is so much to see (and we didn't even do a theme park). Especially we loved Miami and the Keys, and we found some great slight places to stay along the Gulf Coast, right on the beach. Plus the factory outlets were excellent - everything was very cheap!"  

S Barrett, Manchester, UK

"Actually we are golfers, and Florida is one of the greatest places for my wife and I. There are courses everywhere, it's easy to get to, much cheaper than home and the weather really is amazing in the winter."

Mr and Mrs W Mackey, Hove, UK
