Top South Island Hotel Reviews

Pointe Estero Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Great property"

Mariners Boathouse by Coolvacay

8/10 Good

"It was a cute little place with a great view. You are on the quiet side of Fort Myers Beach, which we loved. Only a short drive to restaurants and tourist area. Nice to have two bathrooms! Kitchen was fully equipt. The only downside were that the beds were hard. I guess there are new mattresses on the main bed and there was no give. Bunks were cute, had to have maintenance come and screw the ladder back into the wall which caused a split that we had to cover with medical tape. There is also a water pipe in the wall on the top bunk and my daughter could hear the water passing through every few minutes and had to go sleep elsewhere. She is older though so a younger child probably wouldn't mind it? Couch pullout was a nice addition. Pillows were really thin but we made it work. It was so absolutely peaceful and quiet...until a large family gathering showed up with little kids screaming at the pool all day. So depending on your neighbors, it is such a peaceful place to stay. Beach was nice for sunset walks and shelling. Lovers Key Beach is nearby and also great for shelling and snorkeling. Pool and Jacuzzi were nice to have. Great place, on the beach, for the price."
