The first resort to rebuild on Fort Myers Beach after Hurricane Ian... and it came back as one big pool party on the beach.
We spent 2 nights at Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers Beach and here is what you should know:
🎶 This place has full parrothead energy. Live music at 5 o’Clock Somewhere, frozen drinks by the pool, and the entire resort is in vacation mode by noon.
🏝️ The Fins Up! Beach Club lagoon pool kept the kids happy for HOURS, and you are steps from the pool, the beach bar, and the sand without ever moving the car. The DJ has the music pumping all day.
🌅 My one do-over: the resort faces west, so the sunsets right over the Gulf, and they do a nightly sunset celebration on the terrace. We booked dinner off property both nights and missed it... learn from me and save one evening for it.
Save this 💾 for your next Gulf coast beach trip.
Thank you Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers Beach for hosting our stay.
