Tampa and the
Gulf Coast

Where to stay

There’s a wide variety of hotels and villas on offer in Tampa and Gulf Coast, ranging from luxury to budget. Hang out in comfortable hotels in Tampa, where you can immerse yourself in the vibrant culture and happening nightlife of the city, or discover remote hideaways a stone’s throw from the beaches of Naples, Sanibel and Captiva Island for a quiet getaway. Whether you want a relaxing retreat or an excitement-filled escape, you’ll be spoilt for choice on your Gulf Coast holiday.

The Gulf Coast climate is semi-tropical. Summers are very hot and humid, while winters are cool but mild. Spring and autumn are often the nicest times of year with warm sunny days and cooler evenings. It rains a lot, especially during the summer months – and it’s the thunderstorm and lightning capital of the USA.

All weather information shown is provided for guidance purposes only and although it has been checked with the Meteorological Office, we cannot guarantee the weather at the time of your holiday. Some areas are prone to tropical storms and hurricanes. The weather may, for example, prevent the hotel where you are staying from offering the sports and services that would normally be available. These weather changes are unpredictable but can and do affect local climates.
