Other Florida outlet malls

Hi

Was wondering if anyone had experience of visiting any of the malls below? How do they compare price-wise with the Orlando Outlet malls?
Still as good a bargain to be had?

The malls we could possibly visit on our trip are -

Palm Beach Outlet
Naples Outlet Centre
Fort Myers Tanger Outlet
Ellenton Premium Outlets
Miromar Outlets

thanks in advance

Visited all except Palm Beach.

Naples outlet is not worth visiting especially, only if you happen to be in the vicinity.
It had only 1 shop that we wanted to go in (Ann Taylor), it has been overshadowed by both Miromar and FM Tanger and looked on it's last legs in Sept 2014.

Like all outlets, the others are hit & miss in terms of stock; we've picked up some great finds at great prices, at other times we've been disappointed.

We have noticed that the deals can be better away from the Orlando outlets, ie, we've seen signs for 40 % off the entire store at Ellenton/Miromar etc than at the same shop at the Orlando outlets, the signs say 25% off the entire store.

Orlando is packed with Brit & South American shoppers, you'll find that Miromar & Fort Myers are packed with German shoppers as that's the Florida area more popular with German tourists.

Still good shopping and bargains at them all though!

We've been to Ellenton, soooo much quieter than the ones in Orlando, and pretty much the same sort of shops. I'm a rubbish shopper so can't really say if the bargains were better, but overall it was a nicer experience

There are some photos and details in my trippy HERE if you wanted to have a look

Thanks, both, for this info!

I'm not a huge shopping fan, but there are things my hubby and sons would like to get, only thing I'm looking for is to stock up on flipflops before we head up to Disney and 2 weeks trudging the parks!

We visit the outlets in St Augustine now. Last time there was only us and a few other people there. We got all of our bargains in one trip! No South Americans in sight. We make a day trip or two in St Augustine each year we go Orlando.
