We had considered getting a room in one of the hotels closer to the Fort Myers Beach pier but, having had our days at Fort Lauderdale during spring break long past, wanted something more sedate. This place fit the bill. I should note, this is NOT a hotel per se, rather a rental condo building so there are few services that one would expect from a hotel. In short, you should expect to get your own food or go out. The pool is unsupervised and there are no real kid friendly activities that we could see (thank god). The place is definitely populated by the retired crowd. As well, there is no real beach worth considering attached to the property so if beachfront is your wish, don't go here.

The sunsets from our room (west facing obviously) were spectacular and the place was quiet for sleeping, even though not far from the road and bridge. It was a short walk to the Lover's Key state park north beach - nice but no amenities. $2 per person entry fee. We then went to the main park entrance and trolleyed to the main beach where there were washrooms, food services and umbrella/chair rentals. Enjoyed the day.

It is a fair drive into the main town of Fort Myers beach - but that was not really a problem except at rush hour when the traffic seemed to be lined up for miles. But you can go the other way to Bonita Beach just as easily as the other. We also went to the Edison/Ford winter house estate museum. A little pricey for what it is but enjoyed the grounds and the history. Not much else to do besides that - and go to the beach.

We went for a dinner at the on-property - but publicly accessible - restaurant - Flippers. It was quite good and the food was more than fine. I have done a separate review of it.
