After deciding what flights to Florida to get and where you want to stay you then have to decide on what type of accommodation is going to be the most suitable for you family or the number of people in the group you are travelling with.

When people in Europe go on holiday they generally stay in a hotel or a self catering apartment. In Florida the option to stay in a private villa is not normally available and is something new to consider

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

When you stay in a hotel room generally all the family are in the one room and depending on how many are travelling you may need more than one room which will add to the costs. When you have a private holiday home you will have more than one bedroom and a couch that can be made into another bed. So if you need more than one bedroom a villa can offer you this and may work out cheaper than having to get three separate hotel rooms.

The quality of the furnishings in the private homes and villas are generally of an excellent standard and are more spacious than a hotel room. A lot of the villas are privately owned and the owners use thyem themselves most 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 villa you would expect cooking facilities and a fridge for you to fill up with your food and of course drinks. If you stayed in a hotel or a motel you would have to go looking for the ice machine and make sure you have enough change for the vending machine for any cold drinks.

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.
