Need Help with FL trip

Where can I go to book a very cheap All Inclusive but nice getaway to Florida?

Besides TravelZoo. Is there any other great website, that you have used and can trust.

Probably in Orlando.

How is Daytona Beach?

Is there anything in that area I don't know about worth visiting?

TIA

if you head over to the daytona beach area, saint augustine is worth checking out! it's the nation's oldest city!

I went to Daytona for spring break one year in college...We didn't love it. It was nice for spring break, but a little seedy. It was also biker week, and I think a biker got shot or something.

Key West is awesome - when are you looking to go? Spirit Air just had a sale for $50 each way to Ft. Lauderdale - I'll let you know if I see another one.

St Augustine is about 1 1/2 hours north of Daytona. The old city is nice, and the lighthouse there is beautiful.

I used to live near Daytona Beach. There is also a lighthouse just south of DB. Other than the beach, flea market, and the NASCAR speedway, there isn't all that much there to do.

In Orlando, there are bunch of things to do. Of course, there is Disney, Universal Studios, Sea World, etc.

My favorite is Key West. I had a blast when I went down there 10 years ago. I definitely plan on going back there someday.

Re: Need Help with FL trip

my favorite is key west as well... i am actually going back there for memorial day weekend. however, if you want somewhere closer to orlando, i too, would highly recommend st. augustine.
oldest city in north america, some very beautiful old buildings, great shopping and restaurants, gorgeous old city, and then there are also two island right outside the old city if you prefer the beach . . ..

Naples is soooo beautiful! DH and I just closed on a condo there in April. You fly into Ft.Myers and Naples is about 20 minutes from there..
We stayed at this hotel for our anniversary.
La Playa Resort

This hotel has a 'sunset party' every Sunday. live music, a beautiful bar on the beach, and alot of young people. We usually go whenever we are down there.
Naples Beach Hotel

These hotels are very upscale, but the summer is the off-season and you can definatly get a great rate if you go between now and the end of September.
Good Luck!!

Re: Need Help with FL trip

I went to school in Daytona Beach and there wasn't much to do. NASCAR is very big there. I prefer the citie son the west coast, NAples is nice my DH is a pilot and we used to fly over to Naples as a day trip once in a while.
