Top Bright Water Hotel Reviews

Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. We especially enjoyed the beautiful beach view and having a balcony to relax on. The location was perfect for enjoying the ocean and made the whole stay feel very relaxing. We would definitely consider staying here again."

Sanibel Island Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent all around, everything was immaculate...the beach just steps away. Beach t towels and chairs (umbrellas sold in lobby, we brought our own. Breakfast could be improved...on last day we had pre-made egg sandwiches like the ones you get at the coffee place with the mermaid logo which were mediocre. It be nice if they could fry up some eggs and bacon. The coffee was excellent. We're already planning our next trip there from Miami. Sanibel is just a couple of hours and you step into relax mode the minute you get on the island. Don' miss the National Wildlife Refuge. Drive, bike or hike through it... i'ts wonderful."
