what are the best places to spend a great march vacation in Florida?

With the exception of Key West, Palm Beach, Orlando and Miami Beach thank you. Looking for a nice hot weather, with warm water and 5 star hotels.

1. Destin FL is beautiful you should check it out.
2. St.Petersburg, FL
3. If you're looking for something a little more relaxing, try Naples, Fort Meyers Beach, or Sanibel Island in SW Florida.
4. Hot weather in March? You need to go as far south as Miami for that. I don't think it's hot in Miami in March. You should look to the Carribbean or Mexico or South America for hot weather in March.
5. Islamorada, Ft lauderdale
6. My parents live in Naples & it is absolutely beautiful! Many upscale restaurants, shops, & hotels. There is a Ritz-Carlton right on Vanderbilt Beach (see http://www.ritzcarlton.com/en/Properties/Naples/Default.htm). Very nice dining & shopping on 5th Ave. in downtown Naples. Pazzo's has wonderful Italian food & Tommy Bahama's is always delicious! The Turtle Club on Vanderbilt beach is very nice for dinner....sit outside on the beach & watch the sunset while eating.
7. Pensacola of course
8. Sanabel and Captiva, on the southwest coast probably do more to "keep out the riff raff" than any other ocean communities. There is a high fee for crossing the access bridge to the islands, and virtually no parking places or beach access for non-residents. I get around this by paddling my kayak over from the mainland and renting a bike. (I'm riff raff maybe?) Cabbage Key, a little further north is more isolated but they sure do pamper you.
9. Amelia Island. They have the Amelia Island Plantation and The Ritz Carlton.
