We stayed 2 nights at the Outrigger on Fort Myers Beach. It is in a quiet area about 4 miles south of Times Square, which we were more than happy with. You can get a trolley bus to the Square if you want to party! The Outrigger resort had well appointed rooms with chooser maker and fridge. Also had in room safe all at no extra charge.

Lovely pool deck with plenty of clean pool towels available. Great Tikki Bar pool/beach side. On site eatery. On site guest laundry. Best of all was the beach!! Just a short stroll from any room you may have : the beach is fantastic!!! The staff at this resort were very helpful and check in was easy and friendly. Staff eager to help. Would recommend this place for couples and families. A great place to stay.

Outrigger is off the beaten path at the south end of Fort Myers Beach. We chose outrigger based on the Tripadvisor rating, 17th at the time, combined with the fairly low nightly rates. Our room was comfortable, although the beds are SMALL. Our kitchenette was adequate with a microwave, pretty sizable fridge and amenities. The place shows its age, but staff appears to be keeping up with the time. The hotel has a restaurant on site, and the food was ok for the money. $15 gets you a cabana for the day ($10 after 1p). All in all, we got what we paid for. If you want to be in the middle of the Fort Myers Beach action, stay further north. If you want a more sane and quiet experience, the Outrigger will do you fine.

My wife and I needed a weekend getaway to celebrate our anniversary and my birthday. I've driven by the Outrigger a hundred times over the years, but this was the first time we stayed. What an amazing time! The Outrigger isnt the Ritz. It's what vacationing in Florida used to be, and still should be. Simple, fun, nice staff, clean rooms and a good value. The beach in Front of the Outriger is one of the widest in all of Florida. The sands are sugar-white, and lack of public parking in the nearby area means the beach never gets too crowded. Lots of nice shelling in the morning, and the sunsets are amazing. The Tiki Bar is perfect for beverages and meeting people too. Thanks to all for a great weekend

We spent four days at the Outrigger the week of Labor Day. We plan to return next year. Upon arrival we upgraded to a beach front room and it was worth it. The room was clean, comfortable, and suited all our needs. The hotel is right on the widest part of the beach and offers the most beautiful unobstructed views of the gulf. The Outrigger's staff go out of there way to help make your stay enjoyable. The tiki bar was lived up to it reputation. We can't wait to return.
