    I am sure as you travel South from the Airport you have seen the massive Gaylord Palms Hotel just off Junction 65 of the I4.

    We spent Christmas in Florida this year and decided to visit the Hotel as there were quite a few things going on inside. It had the Ice Land where you pay to go in and brave the cold (we didn’t as that is what we were getting away from). The braver one’s were actualy invited to go round in their bathing costumes (brrr!)

    There were lots of festivities going on along with Carol Singing and hunt the Gnome competition.

    The hotel itself had three Atriums - Key West, Everglades and St Augustine, each with its own unique restaurants. We decided to eat in Key West as that had its own Yacht on a lake in the Hotel. The food was fantastic but not in the large portions that you would normally expect in the USA. However, the food was great. We will definitely visit again and go to one of the other restaurants.

    The Hotel also had its own 9 hole putting course that was free to use. What a bonus for the two golfers in our party.

    Finally, one thing to mention is that it will cost $12 to park there but if you eat in one of the restaurants that fee is refunded.
