Independent Vanderbilt Conners hotels

"Excellent overall"

"Fantastic, great entertainment, staff, cleanliness, etc. All around a great place to stay while in Fort Myers Beach!"

"Beautiful resort"

"Great weekend "

"Hotel made us feel like we escaped to an all inclusive resort for a couple of days. Great pool And backyard area for kids. And adults. Bar service around the pool. Friendly staff. Safe location. Renovated rooms. Just a short ride to 5th street"

"Perfect spot for watching 4th of July fireworks "

"Other than the front desk staff being a little rude, the hotel is a great bargain when staying in the Bonita Springs area. The beach is five minutes away by car. The property is beautiful and has great amenities. It’s our go to hotel when visiting Bonita."

"A Fun Family Getaway with a Few Drawbacks Great Wolf Lodge is the next best thing to Disney! The location is excellent—safe, accessible, and surrounded by lots of dining options. The waterpark is a bit smaller than expected but still a hit with the kids. One downside: the water wasn’t at the advertised 84°F, so it felt cold at times. We visited during 4th of July week, and it was very crowded. Be patient during check-in. We had an issue with our reservation, but a friendly staff member named Thais helped us quickly. Parking is tough. It’s often full, so finding a spot can be frustrating. Also, day pass holders have the same access as hotel guests. It would be nice if overnight guests had early entry or other perks. Food is pricey, and the breakfast buffet (about $28/person) wasn’t great. We ended up eating out or in the room most of the time. Tip: Arrive early on check-in day. You can use the waterpark and other amenities before your room is ready—we didn’t know and lost out on that first day. Overall, it’s a fun, memorable experience for families, as long as you plan ahead and manage expectations."

"Amazing view, beautifully updated room. No microwave and very small fridge. The food downstairs can be expensive, but overall it is a nice place. The pool is very relaxing and the resort is worth the price."
