Lovers Key Resort occupies the quiet southern tip of Estero Island, where Estero Bay meets the Gulf and the protected shoreline of Lovers Key State Park begins. The all-suite aparthotel is built around water views: every suite is a one-bedroom layout with a full kitchen, a separate living and dining area, a whirlpool tub and a private screened balcony overlooking the bay or the marina. The resort’s heated outdoor pool and spa tub sit beside the water, and a fitness room, guest laundry and on-site parking round out the practical amenities. Flipper’s on the Bay, the resort’s waterfront restaurant and bar, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with open-air seating over the water, and the property regularly hosts weddings and small group events. Managed by SunStream Hotels & Resorts, the resort suits both romantic escapes and extended winter stays, with kayaking, shelling, boat charters and the beaches of Bonita Springs all within easy reach.
