This was the biggest disappointment ever! Rooms are terribly smokey, to the point that I almost vomited! 3 cans of Lysol, 4 Glade Plug-ins, 2 large bottles of Frebreeze could not cut the 60 years of stale smoke! Really gross!!! They didn't even TRY to air it out or make us more comfortable! Access to the beach is a long... More

A nice quiet resort at the south end of the island. Not filled with college students it leans more towards families and older people. No direct access to a beach, you have to walk around the small lagoon which isn't so bad. The pool is very nice and warm which was very appealing on the cooler days. Walking distance to... More

Recently widowed and on my first week away alone, I sought a pleasant, relaxing beach-front resort. Upon arrival, I wondered if the resort photos might not be at least 10 years old, if not more. It is an older resort, but very clean, and needs repair. it was a Saturday afternoon, and the girls at the desk were leaving, so... More

This is one of the most spotlessly clean resorts I've ever seen. The condos are dated, but everything on the grounds and in the condo was spotlessly clean and everything worked. The other great thing is the location, at the non-busy end of the island. Would definitely recommend.

We just spend a week in mid June, 2012 at the Tropical Sands Resort. When we arrived, our unit was neat and clean and very spacious. It was a little out-dated but they were in the process on putting flat-screen TV's in all the rooms. They also said they would be redoing all of the kitchens in the fall including... More

Very close to downtown fort Myers and larger shopping areas like Bonita springs (great outlet shopping)! Rooms are very basic and a little outdated but it's very comfortable and home-like!

We had company in from Russia and we wanted to get some sun wthout spending a fortune. We stayed here for a few nights and were pleasantly surprised. It is older but very nice as it allows for you to make your own meals or go out for a bite. Fully equipped kitchens with stove, microwave and nice size fridge... More

Tropical Sands is in a quiet section of Fort Myers Beach and a great placel to relax. The facility is older but well maintained and the staff is friendly and helpful. You have easy access to churches, markets and restaurants. There are wonderful sunset views from the beach across the street. Looking forward to going back.

We stayed here a week, and but for a few rowdies at the pool after hours one night it was very nice. The units are clean and have everything you need to be comfortable. The a/c worked great, and furniture was older but comfortable. It's on the quite end of FMB, which is what we were looking for. I don't... More
