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.

Most travellers from Europe are generally used to staying in hotel acommodation when they go on their usual European holiday however the option to rent a private villa is more common in Florida than anywhere else.

What are the main differences between a normal holiday hotel as against staying in a private villa?

Normally in a hotel you would only get one room for your family and depending on how many people are travelling you may need more than one room which will obviously add to the costs. Most private holiday homes will have between two to three bedrooms and possibly a fold down couch in another room. So if the number of people travelling will not fit into a hotel room or you just want more privacy on holiday then a villa could be the option.

The furnishings in a villa are generally of an excellent standard and more spacious than a hotel room. In a lot of cases the villas are used by the owners themselves at certain times of the year.

If you have to get more than one hotel room there is no guarantee that you will get rooms next door to each other. In some cases you could have rooms not only on a different floor but even a different building.

Hotels can be noisy as people come and go at all hours. Like you people are free to come and go as they please and this could result in you being wakened if someone returns to their room during the night and makes a noise.

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.

Don't forget if you are travelling in the quieter months you may need to pay extra to heat the swimming pool. Charges vary depending on the villa you rent however a charge of around $40 a day can be normal. This is an expense you would not incur if you were staying in a hotel.
