Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers
Everyone was so nice, everything was clean, pool and beach were awesome! I did think for the price we paid there wasn’t really enough offered…a complimentary breakfast would’ve been nice each day. Resort fees were hefty. Didn’t love the road in between hotel and pool/beach but the walkway bridge ...
