Top The Dunes Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn Fort Myers-Airport & I-75

10/10 Excellent

"Súper tranquilo y buen ambiente"

Pink Shell Beach Resort and Marina

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the Pink Shell was fantastic! We spent 5 nights with my Son, daughter in law and 2 Grandchildren. Wonderful resort for family. Plenty of activities for kids. Wonderful pools, restaurants and great beach for shelling. Friendly staff throughout! We hope to return sometime soon!"

Hilton Garden Inn Ft Myers

10/10 Excellent

"I stay often in Fort Myers (family), this is 1st at Garden Inn, I will definitely stay here in the future. Everything was immaculate, staff is friendly and ever so helpful. The rates were less than what I had been paying for someplace a few mins closer to the family. Discovered Garden Inn was <5 mins further, worth the extra few mins at less the cost. We ordered a breakfast to take to our room, cooked to order and plentiful."

Sanibel Island Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"Need to have Sanibel map of sites in each room, an outdoor shower to clean off sand near tiki hut would be great! Loved toiletries. Bar is a little pricey 2 small bloody marys and one appitiser of onion rings = $50 plus tip. Your remodel is fantastic. You will see us again for a 5 day stay with more girlfriends."
