Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers
I had a little vision to see the ocean not so much but it was fine. The balcony was nice. The property had a lot of amenities where ocean view wasn’t needed. Fairly new hotel so it’s clean and everything was in working condition.

Room service “service” was my only concern: late delivery with a missing entree, eggs Benedict served with no Hollandaise sauce, Otherwise the staff were great, and quick.
