Good internet reception. Breakfast was the usual eggs and breakfast potatoes, various meats. They were quick to refill empty serving dishes. The building was immaculate and the staff very attentive. We have stayed here before and will do so again.

Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers
It's 5'o clock somewhere! Honestly, this is the best place I've ever stayed. Colorful, smells good, lots of fun activities and the steak and egg breakfast was heavenly! Started the day with a wonderful massage. Maybe one last dip in the beach before I leave! It was a great weekend away!
