Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers
This hotel had spectacular sunsets from your hotel room! We were able to look at the waves in am and at night- so calming and peaceful. Room had a lot of space. Bathrooms were big and great showers. Staff were very professional and pleasant, and went above and beyond

Holiday Inn Express Cape Coral-Fort Myers Area by IHG
In terms of value for money, this is probably the best hotel i stayed in. Breakfast is good, with many options (even for people that eat gluten free, like i do). The pool was really nice and clean.

DiamondHead Beach Resort
The resort was wonderful. The rooms were super clean, the staph were attentive, and the view of the ocean were terrific. The sand art contest was going in; but, even with all the extra people around, the service was top shelf.

Marriott Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa
Great view from mini suite. Only real issue is self-parking is a nightmare. If you don't mind $35 per day plus tips, use the valet parking. The quality and presentation of the buffet breakfast is not on par with the rest of the facility, which is beautiful!
