I wanted to get away from the craziness of high season in my city so picked Ft. Myers to escape to-and I'm glad I did! From Rock Lake Resort, where I stayed, to the walking tour and historical museum, the Edison & Ford Estates, the blues at the Cultural Center, the matinee at Florida Rep Theater, Ft. Meyers Beach & the greatl low-keyed St. Pat's Celebration with the many different bands playing in the charming downtown area-it was all wonderful. I didn't want to be on congested roads, so took Greyhound and was amazed to find the terminal shared by Lee-Trans, the public bus station. (about a 10 minute walk from the heart of downtown). I got a week bus pass for $12.50 and went everywhere. The Rock Lake Resort bus is 100E from the station, 100W back to the bus station which, by the way, is across from the historical museum & the library.The bus ride's 10 minutes, if evern that to the resort-but helps you save your enery for all the sightseeing. My room had a fridge & coffee maker, all I needed with all the good, reasonable restaurants nearby. I was the only one in the pool whenever I went swimming and loved it! This was my first visit to Fort Myers and the Rock Lake Resort, but it won't be my last!

We stayed for a week and totally enjoyed our very peaceful time,even though next to the busy road never heard it. Fed the fish every morning from our patio,as we had our morning coffee. Kitchen had everything you need. Small store next door, where we bought our basic food and beverage needs (we did not do any cooking). The staff is very helpful and kind. We took the bus downtown no problem-$3.50 for an all day pass. Small creek on the property for fishing, and conoeing- nice deck with chairs and table there to sit by the water, (even a grill ) Very nice walking path on the property also. the rooms were very roomy bathrooms were new,kitchen area very nice. Plenty of closet and drawer space. Enjoyed--Geo from Wisconsin

What a pleasant surprise. We had rented a room for the night and were upgraded to a cabin, located on a pretty man made lake with a spraying fountain in the middle. The cabin had a kitchenette, sitting and bedroom, and bath. There was sliding doors from the bedroom to a patio facing the lake. Very clean and convenient. Sorry we didn't have more time to spend there. Had one minor problem which was immediately corrected. Great price with a great view.

Beautiful Lake with fountains, like a throw back to the 50's. Very retro, clean and peaceful, great for a retreat. Good price and close to historic downtown with scads of restaurants, shops and galleries to enjoy! This was our second time and we'll be back!
