    We find for a family that a villa is far better. You can have all your home comforts, cook a meal if you want (although i only did that 3 times in 3 weeks!), breakfast at leisure if you're having a chill day and having your own pool is fab. Also from my memories of hotels the villa is definately quieter which helps on kids sleeping in on the chill days. I am sure you will find a villa holiday very relaxing which I am sure will be welcome after what must have been quite a stressful time sorting this out.

    First time we went to Florida we knew no different and stayed in a hotel. However a villa is a much better option as you will have so much more space. Nobody running up and down corridors late at night making a noise. Your own personal swimming pool to use when you like with no one else messing around. Your own full size kitchen so you have the choice of making meals and drinks to suit but also with the option to go out for a meal as and when you please. Best of all much more space and your own bedrooms. Your car parked outside the door or in the garage - no trying to find a parking space near your room when you return at night. Sounds strange but I also like being able to do all my washing and ironing before I return so I can just unpack when I get back home.

    I am sure you will enjoy your holiday and have a great time.

    IMO, the only people who stay in hotels are those who have never stayed in a villa.

    The experiences are simply not comparable. The space to relax, convenience of your own pool just feet away, privacy of your own room if you need it, no queue for the bathroom, just cannot be beaten.

    Even the old hogwash about Mum having to cook on holiday is just that, hogwash. The variety and low prices of all the breakfast and dinner venues means no-one has too cook if they don't want to. The most cooking we've ever done is the obligatory morning pot of coffee, and tollhouse cookies for a snack before bed! You can even order deliveries to your door, any good villa owner will ensure a raft of takeout menus for you to choose from.

    Have a great time

    I stay in hotels and I own a villa..so glad its only your IMO...

    I've found pros and cons with both...and helped many people find the right villa for their holiday...but if someone has already booked a hotel...I don't believe they will not have fun...I'm very against telling people that have already booked how much of a rotten time they'll have..it does from my experience drive people away from this site...and this is one of the rare sites I would recommend people use...

    Chrizzy100, I had no intention of upsetting or insulting anyone with my post, but it seems something I wrote didn't impress you.

    Perhaps you might repost please to let me know why you found my opinion so annoying, and then I can avoid it in the future.

    Take the comments with a pinch of salt. Everyone has there own opinion and is allowed to express it.
    You are quite correct in your opinion, villas do offer far more room and value over hotels. There is no comparison and especially for families.
    I must admit I like staying in hotels when it is just Kate and but for the quality we want it costs a small fortune, for just 2 nights in a quality hotel you can rent a villa for a week!
    My first holiday with my family was in hotel and believe me it is far more fun the space of a villa. Its a not brainer.
