Lani Kai Beachfront Resort
It was difficult to get needed toiletries and such from house keeping. Took hours or even a day to get clean towels, etc. Beach chair and umbrella rentals did not lower rental cost if purchasing a chair later in the day. We did not accommodate in that matter.

Hyatt Vacation Club at Coconut Cove, Bonita Springs
This resort was awesome. The shuttle to the boat then to the beach was amazing. On the way to the beach, we encountered 4-5 dolphins following the boat. The lazy river was nice just cold. The resort itself was clean, staff was friendly and helpful, and the rooms were also clean and spacious.
