Florida Keys Vacation Packages
Save Money On Your Island Getaway

Florida Keys vacation packages are a great way to save time and money when booking your trip to this tropical island paradise. Combining a flight, hotel, car, and other activities into a package can save big bucks.

When booking a package you should consider how you will get here, where you want to stay, how you will get around the area, and what you really want to do while you are in the fabulous Florida Keys.

Now, lets take a look at what is included in some top notch Florida Keys vacation packages.

Flights and Accommodations

The most basic vacation packages will combine your flight into South Florida or the Keys and your local accommodations in a deal that costs less than booking travel and a hotel separately. Many of the more prestigious hotels in the Keys, such as the Casa Marina in Key West, can be booked at a discount when you book your room in conjunction with a flight to Key West.

For instance, when you include a flight from Atlanta to Key West you can book a two-night stay at the Casa Marina for nearly the same price you'd pay to book the rooms alone. This amounts to saving several hundred dollars over the costs you'd incur for booking the hotel and flight individually.

Obviously, the hotel you stay at will play a big part in what you do in the Keys and how much you enjoy your time here. Specifically, you should consider the attractions available on-site or near the hotel that is part of any package deal you find.

Some resorts, such as the Cheeca Lodge and Spa in Islamorada, offers holiday packages that are focused around beauty treatment and pampering. If you want a more active holiday, a hotel like the Key Largo Grande offers a range of holiday packages to suit different tastes.

Their offerings include a romantic getaway package with dinner discounts, or a water sports package that includes parasailing, snorkeling and a cruise. The Key Largo Grande also offers a highly customizable "build your own package" option which includes your flight, hotel room, certain gear rentals and other activities.

Car Rental

Depending where you stay in the fabulous Florida Keys, you may find you need a car to get around. It is always best to try to plan ahead for this and book your car rental when you organize your hotel and flight. Compared to rates in most other states a Florida rental car is fairly inexpensive and you should be able find a package flight/hotel package that includes one for only a few dollars more.

Events and Cruises

You should also be able to find hefty discounts on a variety of local boat cruises or even a seat at a local event or performance when you book these additions at the same time as your flight, hotel, and car. This is particularly note worthy if you are visiting the Key West area. Local sponsors of a number of festivals offer combination deals at this time of year which can allow you to snap up a luxury holiday at a bargain price.

Other Attractions

Some local attraction companies run their own deals that allow you to book accommodations at a steep discount when you plan a trip or activity with them. Activities to consider for these types of discounts include fishing charters, diving expeditions and eco-tours. Check with your local tour operator to see what they may have available.
