Florida hotels for every traveller

Hyatt Regency Coconut Point

This hotel offers facilities for the perfect combination for family-fun moments and an indulgent slice of ‘you’ time.

Located between Fort Myers and Naples, this luscious hotel is home to a water-world adventure of three-story high waterslides, a lagoon pool and a lazy river. Hit the Gulf Coast private beach to build sandcastles together, and dive into the glistening waters. Kids will be over the moon when they make new friends at Camp Coconut. Children aged 3 – 12 can join in walks along adventure trails, playful pool competitions, arts and crafts. While they’re busy, take time out for you – soak up the sunshine and swing some clubs on the 18-hole golf course; then rejuvenate your senses in the Stillwater Spa. 

Grab a bite to eat at the casual Corkscrew pool bar and grill, and take your pick from cocktail concoctions and local craft beer. Enjoy service to your poolside lounger, whilst the kids splash around in the adventure pool.

Sandpearl Resort

Holiday in Clearwater for an extraordinary beach break – voted one of the best beaches in the USA. You’ll want to spend every hour of every day on these shores.  

You will be welcomed with a complimentary glass of fizz and mesmerising views out to the horizon when you stay at this luxury resort-meets-stylish beachside haven. Sway in a hammock, park on a beach chair or rent out a cabana. Order from the Tate Island Grill for service to your prime beach spot. In an energetic mood? Break your lethargy with a stroll along powder white sands or join in a game of beach volleyball. When you want to play on the water, rent jet-skis and paddleboards to hang out with the locals, take a short walk to the lively Pier 60 and Clearwater’s new Beach Walk.

On site, the glossy Waldorf Astoria spa is a lavish space for soothing massages and calming therapies – just sit back and relax. Once you work up an appetite, or finally rise from your massage bed, choose from the hotel’s tantalising eateries for a night of fine-dining.  

Try the slurp-worthy Prosecco Popsicle, Aquamarine’s must-try cocktail. This all-day pool bar also offers a scrumptious menu of small bites and bigger dishes, such as tuna tacos and Florida grouper fish sandwiches.
