Frommer's Florida 2008 is written by Lesley Abravanel and is updated each year. It offers candid views on the best sightseeing, restaurants, clubs, beaches, outdoor activities, hotels and more throughout the whole of Florida.

The accommodation reviews cater for all budgets, everything from lavish golf resorts to spas, stunning B&B, beachfront motels and family-friendly condos.

Like the Fodor's guide, Frommer's Florida is a great touring guide if you plan to venture a bit further afield and are looking for off-the-beaten-path experiences and some of the undiscovered gems that Florida has to offer

One very good feature of Frommer's Florida is their 'The best of Florida' section covering a whole range of topics including the best beaches, snorkeling and diving, small towns, golf courses, romantic hideaways, family attractions, fishing, spas, luxury resorts, moderately priced accommodations, seafood restaurants, local dining experiences and best bars and nightspots.
