Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers
Newly constructed, pristine hotel. I was most worried about the valet but it was super easy. Note they do add resort fees and valet fees at check out. I would stay here again! Pool and beach area are great!!

Lani Kai Beachfront Resort
Would go back, great location and amenities! Not the most well maintained hotel, it's older but has a lot of positives that outweigh the negatives. Pool was very warm and the view from our room was 10/10! Restaurant food was sub par but the street food was delicious, especially the taco place!
