If you need to take a rest from all that exhausting sightseeing, find a shady patch to sit at Lake Dora. Bring some nibbles and a good book ... This is your time to chill!

Located in Tavares, this body of water is worth a look. But you'll find tons more to see in the area. Gilbert Park, Donnelly Park and ViaPort Florida aren't too far away from Lake Dora.

8/10 Very Good! (1,274 reviews)
It was clean but the wifi was horrible no connection at all. The walls was paper thin. You could hear the neighbors entire conversation. The ajoining room door was unlocked and the neighbors did open it while we were in the room. You have to pay for most of the amenities. Not my type of resort.
