Sunshine and Old World Elegance in Palm Beach Florida: Why Palm Beach?
Have reports of terrorist attacks and jewel heists left you staying at home? Go to Palm Beach where travel time is short if you are in the US or Canada. It has charm and style and is generally sunny. Prices go way up in the winter and holidays.
The only well known safety issue in 2016 has been the Zika virus. Pregnant women or those who might become pregnant should not travel to the region. Any other travelers that could be impacted by the Zika virus should speak with their doctors.
After travel to five malaria zones, I enjoyed leaving that thought at home.

Save on “Happy Hour”. Buy your own bottle of wine at the local liquor store.

Here are our 5 tips if you need to watch your lodging budget:
- The farther you are from the beach the lower the prices. Price car rental and shared rides to see if that is a savings. If so, you may want to go farther out.
- See if breakfast or including other meals helps you save.
- Compare short term rentals. Do look at safety as to the location and as to the property.
- Check out business hotels in West Palm if you travel on week ends. They have less demand then. After Hurricane Matthew, I had a great stay at the Embassy Suites. My Palm Beach hotel was closed for two days. I really liked the full breakfast and helpful service.
- Most airport hotels may not have Old World charm but can be value. In addition, you will find lots of transport options around the area.
