In Florida, the voltage is 110 V which is much lower than in many countries. Furthermore, sockets are likely to be shaped differently than the sockets found throughout Europe. Therefore, if you want to bring your own appliances (ie. blowdryer, hair straighteners, phone charger, laptop etc.) you should also bring an adaptor, or voltage convertor, which will enable you to safely plug foreign appliances in. Some newer appliances can convert directly between voltages, such as laptops and phone chargers, but the shape of the plug is not adapted to the sockets so you will still need an adapter that will fit into the electrical sockets found in Florida. Regardless, rest assured that Villa Tropicana will have most of the appliances you’ll need for a comfortable stay since it is our aim to make you feel as though you’re at a home away from home!
