Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers Beach sits between the Gulf of Mexico and Matanzas Bay at the north end of Estero Island, steps from the Times Square pier district and the Key West Express ferry terminal. The resort opened as the anchor of the island’s post-hurricane rebuild and offers guest rooms and suites with balconies, many facing the water. A lagoon-style pool with cabanas and sun loungers forms the center of the property, supported by the Fins Up! Beach Club, complimentary beach chairs, umbrellas and bicycles. Dining spans several venues, including a signature grill, beachfront bar and grill service, and a coffee shop. Additional facilities include the St. Somewhere Spa, a fitness center with group classes, concierge service, a 24-hour front desk and laundry and dry-cleaning service. Valet parking is available for a fee, and dogs and cats are accepted for a per-stay charge. Check-in begins at 4:00 PM.
