I'm shocked the health board has not shut this place down. It is the most terrible hotel I have ever stayed at. Don't go there. More

...I think the bathrooms at Sing Sing prision are nicer than this place! We walked into the outdoor bathroom and someone had taken a #2 right "next" to the toilet. I've seen animals living at the Bronx Zoo with cleaner cages than the rooms at this place. Run, run as fast as you can from the Kai..... More

My girlfriends and I used to stay at this awesomely goddy hotel a few years ago for our spring breaks. It's fun and not too bad for the price. It's a great spot for all the "spring breakers" and beach parties. More

This place might as well be shut down until they do some MAJOR renovations. Looks ok from the outside, but the inside is straight FILTH! There is all mold in the bathroom, above the bed along the ceiling, and near the slider. We wore sandles in the shower the entire stay. We had little bugs that shared the room with... More

I would like anyone reading a review to understand the situation that occurred here. These guests were intoxicated when this incident occurred and the gentleman that was so "injured" tried to start a fight because someone called him "red." Yes, this guy is a redhead, so am I. I have been called "red" all my life, and it never seemed... More

My best friend and I made a four day trip to Ft. Myers Beach and decided, against our better judgment, to book at the Lani Kai. We had read reviews and have both been to FMB before, and just should have listened to our guts and stayed away. Alas...it was cheap and we figured "what the hell." For those of... More
