Planning a getaway in Florida doesn’t need to be a difficult decision, especially because we live in a state with SO many incredible hotel options. Suppose you’re looking to travel this summer and happen to be considering Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, or Miami Beach as your final destination. In that case, we have a few incredible Florida hotels that will make your entire trip. We’ve fallen in love with these under-the-radar hotels in Florida, and we think you’ll do the same.
The Caribe Orlando Resort went through a massive renovation to the tune of $140 million, officially taking the resort to AAA Four Diamond status. As one of the greatest hidden gem hotels in Orlando, Caribe Royale offers everything you need for a family getaway. Snag yourself a one-bedroom suite if it’s a couple’s getaway, or rent a two-bedroom villa if you bring the whole group! At just 1.5 miles from Disney World, it’s easy to choose Caribe Royale as your hibernation station between theme parks. But also, you might not ever want to leave this resort either after you see all of the food, amenities, and gargantuan pool!
The W South Beach hotel is easily one of the top hotels in South Beach. With a $30 million design renovation of the rooms, guests will have a new experience staying here, elevated in every way. Enjoy the new spa Away Spa, partake in the fitness classes with DOGPOUND celebrity gym, and stretch all your limbs in the terrace yoga class. There is hotel programming with a bevy of things to do for anyone during their stay, plus you’ll be right on South Beach to enjoy all of the goings on.
I’m a huge fan of Fort Lauderdale as a neighbor to Miami, but also a city that offers its own charm and character. When you’re visiting Fort Lauderdale, you’ll want the best of the best, which means a stay at The Westin Fort Lauderdale. Here, you’ll have a resort right on the ocean, which elevates any summer experience. Splurge on a room with an ocean view, we guarantee it’ll be worth it. There are tons of poolside activities for all ages, too, plus on-site dining options so you’ll never have to leave.

I don’t know about you, but one of my favorite cities in the state of Florida is Orlando, especially when it comes to hidden gems throughout the city. In fact, one of the coolest places in Orlando I’ve visited is Cocktails & Screams, a Halloween-themed bar. The drinks are so innovative and the decor throughout the bar will really have you feeling like you’ve stepped inside your favorite horror film.
