The staff were great at problem solving , there was a problem with their network and check in. Just a word of caution. If you travel with a pet the room we were in was overwhelming with the smell of urine. The carpets should be removed and replace with tile . The stench was awful. Room 106

Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers
This is a beautiful resort. However, they will get you. If the room rate wasn’t enough, the charge $30 per day parking. Outrageous!! Head across the street to The Lighthouse, it is a much better value.

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.
