REDINGTON BEACH, FLORIDA (Lodging at the Sand Vista)

 

On our way back to Arkansas from Orlando, we decided to check out the Redington Beach area.  We really didn't know what to expect.

We started searching for lodging about 30 minutes before arrived in Redington Beach.  We found a place called Sand Vista.  Even though it was an older property, the price was good and the location was fantastic.  The owners were great and told us they were in the middle of remodeling.

The room we stayed in and had not been remodeled yet but the grounds were in great shape and had that great small, family-owned feel.

OUR STAY AT THE CASABLANCA HOTEL ~ SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO

This quaint Old San Juan Hotel is conveniently located in the heart of Old San Juan, Puerto Rico on famous Calle Fortaleza. It is near shops, restaurants, and close to the historic Forts of Puerto Rico.  It is also near the Old San Juan Cruise Ship terminal which is why we chose to stay there.

When I was searching for a place to stay the night before our cruise, I was looking for some place affordable.  The night before a cruise, hotel prices are much higher.  The room we stayed in is around $107 except on cruise weekends.  We paid around $179.

REVIEW ON DAYS INN ~ GALVESTON, TEXAS

Once we decided to stay in Galveston  the first night of our Texas Roadtrip, we started searching for a place to stay.  Since we had a very tight budget, we searched for the most inexpensive hotels we could find near the beach.  

After reading a lot of reviews, we decided to stay at this Days Inn.  The rooms were clean and nicely decorated.  The bedding was comfortable and the rooms were well cooled.  The room also had a small refrigerator and microwave.
