We agreed it was great for the price point and would return. We enjoyed the pool, bar and drinks and my fiancé also had breakfast one morning which he said was good. If you are visiting Cape Coral, the area can’t be beat for other restaurants and shopping. It is also convenient to Fort Myers Beach.
