Virgin Holidays View
Howard Johnson Plaza Dezerland Beach makes for a perfect base set right on the beach. There’s the opportunity to dine in converted classic cars under neon signs at the 1950's American Classic Restaurant, featuring one of the best menu’s in the area. Adjacent to the restaurant is the American Classic Bar with its gleaming red barstools, black and white checked flooring and pool table transporting you back to another era.
Outside is the splash pool and spa tub, a tropical oasis surrounded by lush green foliage. It’s a great place to lay back and enjoy a drink or snack from the pool bar. Guest rooms are comfortable and spacious with a light neutral feel and the convenient location just minutes from shopping, nightlife and the airports, makes the Dezerland a great place for really experiencing the area. For those in need of pampering, the hotel’s Nirvana Spa (located downstairs) offers an extensive menu of treatments, including various types of massage. There’s also an ozonated spa and European steam rooms to leave you feeling in the pink of health. Fitness fans will love the gym, illuminated by an elegant chandelier as well as yoga and Pilates classes at the on-site studio. Stop by and treat yourself to a relaxing body massage, facial treatment or work out with a yoga session. It’s all right on your doorstep!
