More reasons to buy in Florida!

Travel + Leisure magazine has come out with its annual list of the 500 best hotels in the world and Florida has landed 28 on the list from the Panhandle to Disney to the Keys.

Disney landed three of its own hotels on the list including the Animal Kingdom Lodge, Grand Floridian and Wilderness Lodge, and the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress near Downtown Disney was also included. Disney competitor Universal also made the list with the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel. Two other Orlando-area hotels -- the Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes and Grand Bohemian Hotel in downtown rounded out the Orlando-area hotels.

Orlando led the way for the most hotels in one area with seven followed by the Miami area with five and Palm Beach and Naples each with three.

Ponte Vedra in northeast Florida had two on the list as did the Florida Keys.

Rounding out the state with one hotel on the list each were the cities of Sarasota, St. Petersburg, Bonita Springs, Amelia Island, Santa Rosa Beach and St. Augustine.
