OUR TAKE ON HAINES CITY
Nestled in the middle of Florida, Haines City has been dubbed the, “Heart of Florida,” for its central locality.

For a an activity-packed place to stay we recommend the Grenelefe Golf & Tennis Resort or try the Howard Johnson Inn for its close proximity to all the major attractions, and they also welcome your four-legged family member. Located just a short driving distance from spring training camps, PGA golf courses, and the excitement of the Orlando area, a Haines City, Florida vacation is a quiet alternative to the big city.

(You get on the train ride, because after hours of walking and sweating you want to be refreshed, well, at least I do) So you pay the 850 a person to ride this thing that litterally goes around 1 circle 1 time.)

All in all, its not that bad of a place & I didnt mind getting ripped off for the day, just dont know that I would go again!" - a Yahoo user
