For a beachside escape

• Set right on the beach in laidback Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Plunge Beach Resort offers the perfect relaxed break. This charming, converted motel has a retro vibe with pastel shades, seaside-themed artwork, and rooms with private terraces. Complete with a seafood restaurant and a large pool, it's great value for money.
• Another beachside beauty with an appealing price tag is Hotel Trouvail. It's housed in a restored Art Deco building in Miami's fashionable Faena district, just one block from the beach, and offers pretty rooms, most with a kitchenette and some with a private balcony. Relax at the secluded pool, walk to Miami Beach or borrow a bike and head along the boardwalk. 
• As its name suggests, Beachwalk Resort is just steps from golden sands in Hollywood. Rooms have a beachy vibe and most boast wonderful sea views. There's a complimentary electric vehicle shuttle, with services to the Aventura Mall and Gulf Stream Park’s shopping and dining, plus an infinity pool and huge fitness centre. Enjoy refined comfort and amenities at a good price here.

For historic charm

• For a traditional Old Florida feel, Coombs House Inn in the quaint fishing village of Apalachicola is a pretty pick. Seven of the rooms come with romantic whirlpool massage spa baths and some boast four-posters. In addition, free beach chairs, beach umbrellas, and bikes are offered to all guests, so you get a lot for your money here.
• Another fab historic find is Amelia Schoolhouse Inn, located in a handsome red-brick schoolhouse on Amelia Island. Rooms are decorated with school-themed accessories, plus there's a bar, pool, and a small putting green in the courtyard. A well-priced base, it's walking distance to the island's many restaurants, boutiques and points of interest.

 

• Sweetwater Branch Inn, set in downtown Gainesville, offers unique rooms and private cottages with a mix of modern and period furnishings. Enjoy freshly baked delicacies and relax by the saltwater pool and spa. There's also complimentary wine and cheese hour in the evening. A historic budget-friendly gem. 

For an adults-only stay

• The Kenwood Gables B&B is a Tudor Revival-inspired property situated between vibrant Downtown St. Petersburg and several award-winning Gulf Coast beaches. The unique and eclectic interiors have an expensive feel despite being very reasonably-priced — think four-poster beds and large bathrooms with Mikado spa amenities, custom-tiled showers, and stand-alone tubs. A romantic choice.

For a great location

• Surrounded by the most popular areas of Miami, such as Miracle Mile, South Beach and the Miami Design District, Hotel St Michel is a great base for exploring. It offers spacious rooms with marble bathrooms, an authentic Italian restaurant, and a 24/7 gym — all for a wallet-friendly price.
• Miami's Casa Sofi is a smart choice for a stylish stay in a lively spot. The 16 rooms have a sleek, minimalist vibe, and the hotel is just yards from South Pointe Park Beach. It's the perfect base for discovering Art Deco buildings, nightlife, restaurants, and shopping, without breaking the bank.

For a group getaway

• For a no frills, fun Florida stay, Nyah Key West fits the bill. Flexible rooms sleep up to six, some with bunk beds. There are three pools, and guests can borrow the hotel's bikes to explore the area on two wheels. Located just minutes from Key West's iconic Duval Street and its renowned bars, it's a great location and a real money-saving option.
