Although we had an ocean front view, it was almost impossible to sit on our balcony and enjoy it due to the massive amount of cigarette smoking that goes on there. We also had to request three times to have our room cleaned once and have fresh towels for the week that we were staying there. The setup of the beach chairs and umbrellas less than 6 inches apart, meant that I was forced to endure every person‘s conversation sitting on either side of me ….not really my ideal situation when I’m trying to relax at the beach. We will not stay there again.

The proximity to where the pier used to be and restaurants was great. Property has a great old Florida feel. The room was very clean. The pool was small and crowded. It would be helpful to have an outdoor rinse station when coming off of the beach. You also had to pay for the beach chairs and umbrella which I wasn’t expecting. Wonderful spot especially for the price. Will defy go again!!!!!

1-check -in asked if they gave military discounts. Yes. But we can't give them to you because of Expedia takes over their website.
2 - had to pay for parking and walk down the street. ??
3- dont ask questions about checking in because you will get the receptionist mad.
4- Good view of the ocean
5- 1 day came back from the beach and jumped in the elevator. Got to the top floor and ended up in a construction area. Slowly maneuver through the room. Then was greeted with a nasty hostess. At the top of her voice screaming that I shouldn't be going through that area. I explained that there was NO signs ANy Where ZERO. Went to lunch. After that atrocity went to the lobby and told the receptionist what happened and she said they were in the process of putting signs up. 0 apologized Zero.
To top it off went back to the room 3rd day of No room service blew that off again. I lost my credit card. While I was looking for my credit card I pulled the sheets off the bed. That just discussed me. The mattress covers stained with who knows what. I lost all intrest and my appetite . Save your money

No maid service unless you specifically request it. We did the first day and all we got was clean towels…beds not made, floor not swept of sand. Check in was hectic. Food in the restaurant on the top floor was hit and miss. Today’s breakfast…bacon was cooked ahead, burnt and cold, biscuits and gravy…cold. Italian restaurant was excellent. Resort fee of $20 a day…not sure what that covered..we got nothing extra. If they are trying to retain customers, it’s not working.

The rooftop restaurant's food is mediocre, but the Italian restaurant's food is good. There is a small pool on the side of the property that is dull and won’t allow alcoholic beverages. The price for the rooms is better than other rentals in the area. The Beach area is cleaned every morning and the ocean water is excellent

Overall, we had a great stay at Lani Kai and would definitely come back!

Our room was exactly what we were hoping for, with a king-size bed, two chairs, a refrigerator, a private patio, and an incredible beachfront view. The location is unbeatable—right on the beach and within walking distance of everything you could need.

The atmosphere was fantastic, and the staff was friendly, welcoming, and very helpful throughout our stay. The many restaurants, shops, and dining options made everything so convenient. The beach views and sunsets were absolutely spectacular.

The only downside to our room was the mattress. It was very stiff and uncomfortable, and upgrading the beds would make a big difference.

My biggest disappointment was with the beach chair and umbrella rental. Our room wasn’t ready until later in the afternoon, so we went to the beach around 3:00 p.m. while waiting to check in. As resort guests, we paid $33 for two chairs and an umbrella, but they were picked up around 4:55 p.m., leaving very little time to use them. Since our room wasn’t ready, it would have been a nice gesture to offer complimentary chairs while we waited, or at least a reduced late-day rate. It also would have been helpful if the pickup time had been explained before we rented them.

Those were really the only negatives. Everything else—from the location and views to the atmosphere, staff, and restaurants—made for a wonderful stay. We’d definitely stay at Lani Kai again!

When we arrived, front desk let us in a bit early, appreciated. Reception informed us a few things; one was 6 beach towels are in our room and we get 2 bottles of water daily. However, only 4 towels in the room and I had to ask 3 times for the missing towels. Note, there is a sign on the hotel room wall with prices for everything someone might break or steal. I had to get the 2 missing towels even if I didn't need them. No water was brought to our room during our stay. We had our own so it wasn't a big deal, but why promise it and not follow through??

The restaurants, (2 were open but one being renovated, not disclosed when we reserved room) had really good food, good portions and not too pricey.

Bartender Sidney is friendly and attentive as was all bartenders. And
kudos to Charlie who waited on us at the Italian restaurant,(and was at the coffee counter) for excellent service and good conversation. Nice man.

We'll stay at Lani Kai again. Any negative comments are for honest review only. Still a great place to stay.

The beach view and beach front were certainly the highlight of this property. I loved the balcony and looking at the ocean. Unfortunately, on this trip we did not get the opportunity to rent beach chairs/umbrellas due to windy/rainy weather, but we actually did on a separate trip where we did not stay at Lani Kai and really enjoyed those amenities for a reasonable price. Also enjoyed the rooftop restaurant, the taco and pizza stand as well as the beachfront bar/beach drink service. The beds were not super comfortable, but for beach front this property is more reasonable than most and I would stay again!

We really enjoyed our stay at Lani Kai Beach Resort. While the rooms are definitely a bit outdated, the location more than makes up for it. Being right on the beach with a balcony where you can relax (and smoke, if that's important to you) was a huge plus. The beach is literally just steps away, making it easy to go back and forth throughout the day.

The restaurants on-site were good, the bars had great live music, and every staff member we encountered was friendly and helpful. We also loved that there were several restaurants within walking distance, along with a 7-Eleven for anything we needed.

One suggestion would be to add a small rug or mat by the door in each room. With the beach so close, it's nearly impossible not to track sand inside, and a rug would help keep the floors cleaner.

Overall, if you're looking for a fun beachfront stay with a lively atmosphere, convenient location, and great staff, we'd definitely recommend Lani Kai Beach Resort.

We had a fantastic stay! Our suite was perfect, with a large deck overlooking the ocean, a comfortable living room, and stunning views. The hotel is beautifully renovated and feels fresh and modern throughout, with excellent dining options making it easy to enjoy great food without leaving the property.

What really stood out was the friendliness of the staff—everyone was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely committed to making our stay special. The highlight of our trip was celebrating my parents' 60th wedding anniversary at Grace's Trattoria. The team treated us like VIPs and made the occasion truly unforgettable.

We also enjoyed listening to the DJ during the day and live music in the evenings, which created a great atmosphere without being disruptive—the property was quiet and peaceful by 10 PM.

The room was not very clean. Sand all over the floor when we arrived, toilet base not clean when we arrived (remained dirty all week) furniture was dirty and pull out mattress was so thin it couldn’t be used.
Staff had their kids at work running all over or swimming with no supervision. Rules are not followed anywhere on this property! Sometimes our room was cleaned and other days it wasn’t (should have been cleaned daily). Water leaked in all three windows of our room during a rain storm. Electricity went out in our bedroom. An outside electrician was called in the next day. We spent hours waiting on staff to fix the problem! Front desk said they’d call us with the plan that night. No call! They offered us a $25 gift card. Wow! This is the worst property I’ve ever stayed at on Ft. Meyers Beach! Don’t know waste your money!

Lani Kai is a great resort on the beach. This resort has everything you need for a great stay. The check in process was easy and informative. Parking on the property is shared with the community so finding a spot on the resort property was tricky, but an additional lot was across the street. The rooms were nice and clean. As two female travelers, we felt safe on the property. The dining options are very diverse and convenient. The Sundeck was perfect for a sunset view. We rented chairs and an umbrella for a reasonable price. Shops and other restaurants are very walkable from this location. One member of the Lani Kai staff, Anthony, was very helpful to us and so kind and friendly. He helped us with checking in, parking and was always very respectful when seeing him throughout our stay. One downfall for me was the water pressure it was horrible and took forever for me to wash my hair. The other was the outdoor speaker was right outside our room. It was very loud on the weekend and is on ALL day long. Overall, this is a nice place if you like crowds, not so much for quiet and hearing the waves.

Overall experience was good. Bath towels were very thin, poor quality. The beach is beautiful and well maintained, however the hotel plays very loud music until late at night which is heard all over the beach area and even though our room was on the top floor (5th), we were unable to have a conversation on the balcony because of it.
The air conditioner did not keep the room cool enough and you are not allowed to turn the temp below 72 degrees. We brought our own fan which helped. Be prepared to empty the required dehumidifier twice daily. It also blows hot air into the room. We had to move it away from the bed.
The beach with the warm water from the gulf and location were the best parts, but we would most likely not return to this hotel.

We love that we don't have to leave the property for anything if we don't want to: Plenty of food options at the hotel to choose from with their 3 restaurants & coffee shop as well as additional food options on the ground floor, a gift shop and other shops on the ground floor, 2 beach bars and 1 on the roof top sundeck, Wind & Water Sports is set up at their beach for chair/umbrella rentals as well as jetski, banana boat, parasailing, and dolphin tours.
If you do want to leave, its a short walk down the street, or beach, to Times Square and a ton of shops, food trucks and restaurant options. My teenage kids and I have been here twice in the past 2 years, and I know wellbeing back.
