About the Methodology

The survey was conducted late February 2019. For 20 popular spring break destinations in Florida, the price for the cheapest available double room was established for the following periods: March 6–9, 11–14 and 26–29. A resulting daily average was then established for each destination. Only hotels or other accommodations rated at least 3 stars and located close to the city center and/or beach were considered.
