Girls weekend Fl destination with no hurrucan damage in Feb?

Late 30s and early 40s women looking for a warm south Florida destination not damaged by hurricane. Looking for an upscale beachfront hotel with a spa and a restaurant. Classy but quiet. No high heels. No dance music by the pool.

Any ideas?

Thx!

In February you need to be as far south as possible for pool weather. I would suggest Naples, but I am unsure of hurricane damage. I'm sure someone else will chime in.

It is certainly warm enough for beach and pool in February in Palm Beach, Broward, and Dade Counties, in the SouthEast. Swimming in the ocean at that time, is not for those who need very warm water.

On the West Coast, you can certainly swim in a heated pool as far north as Tampa/St. Petersburg.

Here is the one I recommended in Palm Beach, although without knowing your budget is is difficult to offer advice:

Palm Beach, and adjacent West Palm Beach, have great, white-sand beaches, excellent shopping of many types, excellent restaurants. Easy to get around with UBER, or rental car.

Miami Beach would be a great option as well.

Considering the fact that the eye of the last storm was far closer to the Gulf Coast and places like Naples than it was to us over here on the Atlantic Coast you would think the west coast would have fared more poorly.

BUT by that time of year I think you'll see less evidence of any damage than some might expect.

I think for what you are looking for you'd be better off in Palm Beach, Boca Raton, or Miami than here in Fort Lauderdale. As to ocean water temperatures at that time of year I will be in the water but you might not be as comfortable.

I would start looking YESTERDAY since February is the height of "the season" down here.
