I highly recommend a stay here. The entire Staff here from Front Desk to Housekeeping was excellent. Each Day of our 7 day stay, our room was cleaned, the bed made, fresh towels. The Hotel offers a Resturant for Breakfast,Lunch,Dinner.The food was good and prices very reasonable. They also have a outside Bar and food, with a fantastic veiw of the Gulf. On a scale from 1 to 5, I would rate it an 4. I would have given it a 5, but there was construction going on for a couple of days. I also recommend this as a place for families to come to. You don't need a car to get around here, just use the Trolley. What Fun that was.

My wife and I stayed 4 nights over spring break. She has a bad back so bed comfort is always a concern when we travel. She had no problems with our bed and really liked the pillow menu that's offered. Nice touch. The beach was wonderful and never felt crowded (awesome sunsets too!). Very nice sand. Though the pool was often crowded (it was spring break) my wife was still able to swim laps when it opened at 9. We ate at Pinchers Tiki Bar twice and liked it both times. The live music was a nice touch. My one complaint there: very limited beer menu. We also ate breakfast at the indoor restaurant once which was good but a little pricey. Try the Truly Scrumptious Ice Cream Shop across the street for breakfast instead. A better value. We also ate dinner twice at the Fish House at the nearby marina and loved it! This hotel is at the south end of Ft. Myers Beach, which is a little quieter. It was perfect for us, but if you're looking for more night life you might want to be a little further north on the beach. If you want the best of both worlds, there's a trolley that runs up and down the main road that very cheap. We would definitely stay here again.

We've stayed here every year for a few years and we like it because it fits with our values regarding the ecology of barrier islands. (That is, it's one of the only low-rise hotels on Ft. Myers Beach and we wish construction on barrier islands would be limited to low-rise buildings.) This year we were disappointed because we noticed they had raised the rates since last year. We wanted to talk to the mgr about reducing our rate. We had to call on different days before our arrival and kept being told the mgr who could make that decision was not on duty that day. We practically had to beg to get someone to even give the mgr a message -- we never did see her or talk directly with her. Finally on our first full day there we planted ourselves in the lobby for 15 minutes to make it so the clerk on duty could not continue ignoring us. She promised to speak to the mgr, and an hour later a message was left on our cell phone saying our rate would be reduced by $X amount. When we checked out, we discovered this only applied to the dates after the phone message, not to the first night we had stayed. Oh, and they were resurfacing the parking lot so we had the smell of fresh asphalt and no easy access to our room. But the beach was lovely as ever. We might or might not stay here next year.

My Wife and I had a wonderful and most enjoyable 8 days/7 nights stay at The Holiday Inn Ft. Myers Beach. The site is perfect, the beach, the pool and Pinchers Tiki Bar (great services and value) provide all you could ask for on a vacation from snow and ice in NY. There is a great mall across the street also, you will find some great restaurants there and near-by (really too many to mention) to include the on-site fine dining. I found the front desk staff to be more than helpful, they were caring and cheerfully did their tasks, of which making you feel welcomed and appreciated was primary. The housekeeping staff was excellent also at doing for you those little things that you really notice and appreciate. The grounds were magnificently landscaped and from every view, very attractive. Every thing was as clean as humanly possible, especially the rooms and the common areas. A very excellent place well managed and well run. I will return as often as possible. Thank You Staff and Management for a great week !

The pictures that are shown of this hotel are as accurate as can be! This hotel was great. We had to make the move to this hotel from another one closer to Times Square ( the previous hotel was hideous!) We were so glad we chose to move to this hotel. Considering that we didnt rent a car, the tiki bar and the resturant on the property were great. In fact, we stayed on the property and the beach area for most of our trip . The Tiki bar was excellent. Good food, great drinks. THe wait staff for the most part was good, it just took a while to get drinks sometimes, due to a large amount of guests (this only occured on the weekend). It is true that the bands stop at 9 p.m., but that is because there is a noise ordinance. But really, if you like to party, this end of Fort Myers Beach probably wouldn't be for you anyway. There is a little strip mall across the street with a couple of bars that close at 2. The Sandbar has good food and the bar next to it has great bartenders and a great jukebox (I think there is a dj there on certain nights). And there is a trolly and taxi service to throughout Estero Blvd. All in all, I would recomend this hotel to anyone who is looking for a good time right on the beach, away from the hustle and bustle, but also wants a good time.
