I loved everything about this place and I will return. I didnt realize when I booked this place, I was looking for a place with a hot tub that was near the restaurant I planned on going to for my Birthday. This place was just down the street from my restaurant I came here for. I came here 4 yrs ago for my birthday then too. Everything was perfect, from the check in, the Staff, we came early so we stayed by the pool, to the front desk service, the room, all the amenities, the restaurant, walking distant to the beach, liquor store, 7-11, restaurants, outside seating, private deck, grills to cook on right outside our back door with a picnic table. We had a table on our deck too. A canal, saying hello to people that docked and came to the restaurant. The restaurant had, outside seating, inside with outside screens seating as well as inside long picture windows with air-conditioning srating, to view the water & boats. IT REALLY IS IN A GOOD LOCATION! I will keep returning here. I've lived in Naples for over 20 yrs, and frequently come to Fort Myers to vacation, short or long trips. I've tried several different places from higher end Hotels to Motels here in FM. The activities and the prices are better here too! AND YOU CAN BRING PETS ON THE BEACHES IF YOU WANT!! But not to this hotel.

Clean room. They do not do daily housekeeping as advertised. Pool and hot tub are small but appropriate for the size of the facility. Best thing is the proximity to about 10 different restaurants and bars, all within 5 min walk. Beach is a 5 minute walk as well.
Disappointed that while we had a microwave and mini fridge, there was no toaster or silverware . Wanted to make a bagel and was not able to.
Overall a good place, not fancy but a good place to lay your head at night.

Their office hours end at the same time as when the check-in starts. So they left a letter on the office door with my last name on it when we arrived before dinner. Opened the envelope and got the code to open the safe next to the office door to get the keys. Opened the room only to find the bed sheets were on the floor. The restroom was a mess left by the previous guest. Looks like they were in the middle of cleaning the room and left in a hurry. Tried calling their off-hours number, but no one answered. The Wi-Fi code didn't work. I had to use my phone hotspot to get the computer online with Expedia. Spent over an hour with Expedia live chat and phone call. We were too hungry. We were forced to book a room at a non-motel hotel for the night; I don't want to repeat the same experience.

We appreciated the laundry facilities. The place was clean and felt safe. Nice restaurant on site. The only thing we found odd was no lock on the bathroom door. It was a barn door type door.

We rented the cottage and it had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable. Our teenage daughters slept on the pull out sofa bed with no complaints of bars in backs etc. The beach was about a 5-15 minute walk, depending on where you decide to post up for the day. I personally rent chairs either at the Lani Kai (does not allow coolers) or just to the right of them, (if you want to bring your own cooler). The pool and hot tub were both are the perfect temp for all of our likings. We enjoyed that it was off the strip and not such a busy pool, especially during peak spring break season. We had a minor issue with our shower not draining and leaking but it was repaired by the time we got back to the cottage from the beach that day. Thank you for a great stay! We will be back again. PS try the pizza and listen to the live music on the bay, you won't be disappointed!

Great trip. Room was clean and staff were polite and helpful. We did have an issue with parking. Arrived on a Sunday before our room was ready. We were in pool when a parking company started going through lot booting cars without parking pass. We were able to get a pass in time but someone in our party got booted and had to pay a (discounted) fee to parking guy to get boot removed.
Matanzas needs to issue parking passes as soon as they are aware a guest is on the property, even if room is not yet ready.

We enjoyed our stay! Very convenient location, right on the water, clean with recently renovated rooms. We went for a girls weekend and loved it! The only thing I can’t rave about was they had very poor water pressure, not sure if it was because we were on an end unit, but it was a trickle out of the shower head which can be a little difficult if you have a lot of hair, no hairdryer in room, and wish they had a full sized mirror in the room. Regardless I would definitely recommend staying there! It’s a beautiful property!

Only thing we didn’t know about and didn’t like was the noise at the end where the bar/ restaurant is. We stayed in room 102 and that was our only complaint. Even tho we are drinkers, we aren’t late night people. So you have the noise till entertainment ( which was good) was done. Then every morning around 4/5 the workers are unloading food trucks. Slamming what we thought might be bags of ice. So not enough sleep. We would definitely stay there again, we would just ask to be in another building. Enjoy.

The office only open during business hours. Plane landed at 7 so office was closed. I was able to get keys from lock box, that part was easy. Next morning left before office was open. Worked all day and got back to condo at 1 am. The key fob they gave me did not work. I went to office, closed. Called number given answering machine. Tried after hours maintenance, sent to voice mail. I’m a single lady outside. I called the number on their web site and thankfully it gave a different maintenance number. I called it and went to voice mail. It is now 1:30. I was desperate so I tried that number a couple more times. And a very nice gentleman answered. The only problem was that he was on vacation. He said he would try to get someone there to help. 25 min later someone came out. It ended up not my fob being an issue but the sensor for fobs. He tried his master fob and a master key card. Neither worked. 15 min later he came back with a real key. And it finally opened at 230. Had an early flight. Not happy. They are not prepared for locked out issues after 7. Would not go back. BUT the guy on vacation and the poor guy who helped were great.
