Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers
Beautiful beach, clean hotel, friendly staff, felt like a little too long distances to walk and multiple levels to go up and down between the road that splits the property and safety layout. Totally understandable, but could be annoying for people with strollers or handicapped.

Sanibel Island Beach Resort
Great place to vacation! The beach was so close we could just stroll to it everyday. The staff was very amenable and prompt. The property is slightly old but rooms were clean and quiet. We got our best sleep in a long time! Thanks folks!
