Mother Daughter trip
I have stayed at this hotel about 6 different times. I love the restaurant with the option to sit outside. I love the quietness of the this area of the beach versus the northern action part of Ft Myers Beach. it is everything you need. with 7-11 across the street, grocery store just a jont down the road. Perfect shelling...nice cabanas to rent if you your interested. Will be back! I saw many young family's, perfect for them.

Great beach
The beach makes this hotel. Room is functional. A/c unit loud. Deck area needed because the two chairs outside the room are not a restful area.

good value
Though not the newest hotel on the beach, it was in good condition, food was good and reasonably priced, lots of beach available, good service-a great family place to stay. There was a nice deck, live music. I'd consider it again.

Time-saving tip:
Not Applicable
Getting on Ft. Myers Beach area between 9:00-5:00 is a traffic jam and getting off the beach 5-8:00 is also bad. There is no problem going south toward Bonita.

location
the amenities were average, but when you have the beautiful beach location it more than makes up for it. room was taken care of very well. Food at restaurant left a little to be desired. Bar is WAY too small. But once again, a beautiful beach and location to beach cannot be beat. I enjoyed myself and will definitely return in the future.

Great beachfront!
This place was perfect for a 3-night getaway. The beachfront was beautiful and there were plenty of chairs on the deck or beach area. The rooms weren't anything special, but the resort was really great for the price. It's a bit far from town, which was great, but at the same time a hassle if you wanted to go into town for dinner – traffic gets so congested that it took us nearly an hour.

Just OK.
Bathroom door would not close. Toilet ran unless you jiggled the handle. Had to sleep with ear plugs because our room was near the maintenance shed and where delivery trucks backed in every morning. Beach was great. The restaurant on-site was super slow and we got most but not all of what we ordered every time we ate there. I would not recommend this hotel especially for the price.

Fun at the beach
The hotel appeared to be recently painted. It was very clean and well kept up. Some of the amenities such as the TV was a little dated but you don't go the the beach to watch TV.
