The Guide to Vero Beach (the Best Food and Spa In Florida, the Massages, the Hotel, the Turtles, the Paddle Boarding, and the Sharks) from Pearl Escapes 2013, 2014 and 2015

Vero Beach in Florida is a real discovery. Just staying in the hotel you can enjoy the best massage and food in Florida, then add in an unspoilt beach full of turtle nests, a shipwreck, (sharks!), an old fashioned but cosmopolitan main street and even a labyrinth nearby and it is an exceptional escape. They really look after me here, especially the main chef, who, although he is from Peru, brings Cuba to Vero Beach. It makes my mouth water just to think of it. Bring your appetite.

I used to get extremely burned out in my old job and couldn't even handle finding and booking a hotel and flight or finding what to do when I did take time off. So, I thought "wouldn't it be awesome if someone would write a guide that just gave you one perfect escape; the perfect hotel, spa, flight and restaurant."

So that's what I did.
