Six 40-something gathering for annual girls weekend get away. I know nothing of Florida and would like a sunny destination with great service to hang out and chat pool/beachside. Recommendations for nice resort or area? We are leaving kids and husbands home! Thanks!
Girls weekend - where to go??
There are so many places in Florida that would be good for this. What kind of budget are you on? I%26#39;d suggest St. Pete Beach, Naples, Ft. Lauderdale, Marco Island, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Sarasota (area).
Girls weekend - where to go??
Or what about Miami Beach?
Great restaurants, lovely hotels, fabulous shops....
Someone in the group also mentioned St. Pete%26#39;s and Marco Island. Where would you suggest staying for either of those? Budgetwise, maybe $100/person/night for hotel. Someone mentioned Tradewinds Island grand and all can stay in the penthouse? Would we need to rent a car for either of those locations? Thanks!
If you stay on any of the gulf beaches, you really don%26#39;t need a car. You can take the super shuttle in from the airport and hop the beach trolley to get anywhere on the barrier island (from St. Pete to the south to Clearwater to the north). You would need to take a taxi or hop the PSTA (Pinellas bus system) to get into and back from downtown St. Petersburg but once there you can pick up the downtown looper for 25 cents a person to go to all of the popular spots. The beaches are roughly fifteen minutes from downtown. (Downtown is on the bay side, the beaches are on the gulf). Clearwater has nicer sand than the beaches to the south but also a lot more young people (college age).
