The Best Florida Vacations
Anybody who is looking for a great vacation would be wise to look into vacationing in Florida. Not only is Florida one of the top destinations for amusement park-goers in the United States, but it also features a unique eco-system that is difficult to duplicate anywhere else in the country. Regardless of what kind of vacation you are looking for, you will likely be able to find it in Florida.

Golf Vacation

One of the premier locations to enjoy a golf vacation in Florida is the Doral Golf Resort & Spa in Miami. This Marriott resort includes all of the excellent amenities you would expect from Marriott, and much more. The resort features the Blue Monster course. One look at the course helps you quickly understand why it is a monster. It includes long fairways, strategically placed bunkers and challenging water hazards. The 18th hole includes a fountain that is well known to PGA Tour fans. Tour players have competed on this course for more than four decades. In fact, GOLF magazine named the 18th hole as one of the top 100 holes in the world.

Family Vacation

If you are talking about a family vacation in Florida, chances are that you are probably talking about Disney World. Disney World has grown to include four parks--Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom. You can't expect to enjoy all of these parks in one day. You can purchase multi-day park hopper passes that allow you and your family to visit each of the parks as many times as you wish for as many days for which your pass is valid. Disney World features more than two dozen on-site resorts at which families can stay.
