Florida Resort Life

Florida has been America’s vacation destination for decades. A great way to move around in Florida, and see the sights, is with a charter bus, coach bus, party bus, mini bus, passenger coach or school bus hired from Shuttle Bus Companies. Renting your own shuttle bus makes a lot of sense, and simplifies travel logistics, especially if you’re traveling in a group. Travel in style and comfort to some of Florida’s best resorts with a shuttle bus rented from Shuttle Bus Companies.
Visit Fairbanks House on Amelia Island with your shuttle bus, and you’ll be glad you did. This 8,000-square-foot Italianate 1885 villa is located in the historic district of Fernandina Beach, beautiful grounds that feature native plants, organic herb gardens, and a butterfly garden. The very elegantly decorated accommodations include large rooms and private suites with porches and living rooms in the mansion, as well as three separate private cottages. All rooms and villas are decorated with antiques and equipped with whirlpools or Victorian soaking tubs. Aside from breakfast, no other meals are served, but an evening social hour brings guests together for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres.
Take a shuttle bus to Fort Lauderdale and stay at the Pillars Hotel. Situated on New River Sound, a block from the beach, this classic Art Deco hotel is a delightful, polished, intimate gem directly on the Inter-coastal Waterway. The British Colonial style guest rooms and suites are done in subdued tones, with bathrooms in marble, making this a very comfortable and unpretentious resort. Dining at the dockside affords wonderful views of the Inter-coastal waterway, with the restaurant serving American cuisine with a Moroccan touch.
As you approach the Ritz-Carlton in Naples in your shuttle bus, you cannot help but notice the distinctive orange Mediterranean style towers that overlook the Gulf Of Mexico. This family oriented resort is located near the Naples Zoo, and is very much geared to keeping children occupied and amused, while their parents relax and watch the sunset on the beach. The decor is embellished with antiques and artwork, with Waterford chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and Asian carpets decorating the floors. Gumbo Limbo’s bar is the best place for a burger on the beach.
The Breaker’s in Palm Beach is easily reached by shuttle bus. Inspired by the Italian villas of the fifteenth century and modeled on the Villa Medici in Rome, this historic hotel, built by Henry Morrison Flagler, has a timeless Italian Renaissance style feel. Shuttle bus visitors will feel special in the opulent public areas which are exquisitely appointed. The Breaker’s stunning location right on top of the ocean makes this a great getaway. Dining options include The Circle, where Sunday brunch is served under a 30-foot frescoed ceiling.
