The Lower Gulf Coast Hotels

Lower Gulf Coast Hotel Reviews

Lodging in Fort Myers, the islands, and Naples can be pricey, but there are affordable options even during the busy winter season. If these destinations are too rich for your pocket, consider visiting in the off-season, when rates drop drastically. Beachfront properties tend to be more expensive; to spend less, look for properties away from the water. In high season—Christmas through Easter—always reserve ahead for the top properties. Fall is the slowest season: rates are low and availability is high, but this is also the prime time for hurricanes. New resorts have been popping up around the region. Naples Bay Resort opened in February 2008 and Fort Myers's Hotel Indigo in March 2009. In Cape Coral, The Resort at Marina Village, the town's first luxury property, opened November 2009.
