【推荐1】Amelia Island welcomes all types of travelers, whether you’re looking to enjoy a romantic holiday, take a multigenerational (几代人的) vacation, or enjoy a fun weekend with friends. Here, we offer some insight into the different kinds of accommodations, from budget to luxury. Whichever you choose, you’re sure to have a great stay at one of these hotels.
Hoyt House Bed and Breakfast
With an adults-only policy, the Hoyt House Bed and Breakfast is the ideal spot for a romantic holiday. Some rooms have original working fireplaces, which are great in the ever-so-slightly chilly winters. The guesthouse also has its own bar, the Hoyt Lounge, which is only open from 4 p. m. to 5 p. m. daily, though guests can ask the hosts to serve up a drink any time.
Residence Inn by Marriott Amelia Island
When traveling with kids, convenience is key, and the Residence Inn by Marriott Amelia Island is all about ease. Here, the contemporary suite-style rooms range in size from studios to two bedrooms, but they're all spacious (宽敞的)and have full kitchens-great for feeding the kids whenever they’re hungry. The Residence Inn also offers a free hot buffet breakfast each morning, which is an easy way to get the family up and out to start the day. If you’re looking to relax, there’s a pool, and the beach is just three blocks away.
Fairbanks House
The 8, 000-square-foot, 1885-built Italianate mansion (大厦)that’s now the Fairbanks House doesn’t immediately look like a green property, given its historic façade (外观), but its owners have put a number of measures in place to create a more environmentally friendly place. A reflective roof lessens energy consumption, packages are biodegradable (可生物降解的), water bottles are replaced by glass ones, and the landscaping features drought-tolerant plants and a butterfly garden, among other features.

Mallorca
On the popular Spanish island of Mallorca, farmhouse inns focus more on providing isolation and quietness than offering hands-on farming experiences. With millions of visitors staying on the beaches of Mallorca and the other Balearic Islands each summer, a little bit of isolation is a good thing for aloneness-seeking travelers. Mainly located in the hills of inland Mallorca, these inns range from rustic century-old farmhouses to luxury(奢侈的) villas with spas and swimming pools.
Hawaii
People who don't want to dig out their passport but still want their farm adventure can head to the island of Hawaii. The 50th state talks much about the well-developed farm tourism industry that can hold people with different interests. Agritourism choices range from visiting coffee plantations(种植园) in the Big Island's Kona region to exploring the plantations on Maui to staying on farms on the easily reachable island of Oahu.
California
California is one of the best places in the U. S. to enjoy a farm-stay, thanks to the diversity of crops and farms. Small family farms and large farms offer a more hands-on approach to agritourism. Many of them teach small-scale farming techniques and even offer strategies for organic growing. The University of California system, one of the largest state-run higher education systems in the U.S., has a small-farm program that helps growers create agritourism businesses.
Philippine Islands
With diverse conditions on different islands, the Philippine Islands are ideal places for visiting multiple agritourism sites or focusing on one product. Tourists can visit a huge pineapple plantation for a taste of large-scale agriculture, or they could focus on smaller operations such as bee farms, and even small plantations that specialize in growing tropical produce such as dragon fruit.
1. What kind of people will choose to go to Mallorca?| A．Those who prefer peace of mind. |
| B．Those who like lying on the beach. |
| C．Those who enjoy the luxury of tourism. |
