“Awesome resort!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

My husband and I spent 5 days at Lovers Key Resort for our 40th anniversary and we absolutely fell in love with this resort! We had a very nice condo, very comfortable with everything we needed, wonderful friendly staff, beautiful pool area and waterfall, and Flippers bar and restaurant was everything and more!! We will definitely stay here again!! The area is quiet and away from all the hustle and bustle, but it is on the water so we had beautiful views all day long. A wonderful anniversary vacation that left us with beautiful memories!!! Thanks, Lovers Key Resort, for making our short vacation a memorable one!!! :)

Room Tip: We stayed in 701, a corner suite, and would choose it again. High enough for the beautiful water v...

“Winter Getaway”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 7, 2013

My husband and I selected Lovers Key based on location. We wanted to be in Fort Myers beach area without being right off of Bonita Beach Rd, where there is a lot of traffic & congestion and were not looking for the typical hotel amenities for this trip.
The upside was that the area is secluded, quiet, in walking distance to a private beach, access to pool & marina and great for relaxation. The downside is that it is not near any other restaurants excpet for Flippers Restaurant located on hotel & condo property, no shopping or stores at or near the hotel and you need to drive thru Fort Myers beach to get to your destination. The drive itself is very nice and scenic, but not convenient if you want to be near your hotel.
The hotel room was a very cozy, spacious 1 bedroom suite with full kitchen, jacuzzi tub and balcony. We booked floors 9-12 which are more expensive but have beautiful views of dolphins swimming and Estrero Bay. I don't get the reviews about the hotel room being out of date, it is not a full service hotel such as the Hilton or Westin. It has a nice laid back waterfront condo feel to it. If you are looking for a fancy room, or a hotel with entertainment, activites, room service, concierge & spa services, etc. this is not the hotel for you, but is great if you are with adults and are looking for rest & relaxation.

Room Tip: The Lovers Key Website says there is continental breakfast included which is falsely advertised sinc...

“Very Outdated Rooms”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed January 16, 2013

My husband and I made reservations at Lovers Key Resort based on all the good reviews. We simply don't get it. We reserved a "luxury room" (an upgrade from their "resort rooms") on the 9th floor. Yes, the views were great, but that was the only thing that was good. The room was so outdated, I actually called down to the desk to make sure we were in a luxury room. The TVs were old style, the blinds and furniture were worn out, the garbage disposal smelled rotten, the shower was tiny and the bathroom needed updating. But probably worst of all were the fake potted plants and flowers on the front room and dining room tables and in the bedroom--which were dusty and grimy! To top it off we went to have a drink at Flippers and the bartender was extremely rude. I realize Flippers is not owned by the resort, but it was the straw that broke the camel's back. We had originally made our reservation for 3 nights, but stayed for only 1. I will say that the staff was cordial about giving us a refund, so I thank them for that.

“Quiet sanctuary with a spacious suite”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 31, 2012

My family was looking for a quiet few days near nature with comfortable, upscale accommodations. We enjoyed the beautiful view of the bay and the large living space in our unit. We had delightful breakfast meals at Flippers, and my husband and I enjoyed our drinks/dessert at Flippers one evening. I thought the furnishings, toiletries and interior of the accommodations were slightly below standard for the price we paid for the room, but they were sufficient. I'm sure we will come back. Staff at Flippers and housekeeping staff was very nice. Would have been great for front desk staff to offer information about the local area when we arrived. There were used sheets on the pull out sofa when we got there and opened it.

“Ubelievable!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 27, 2012

My wife and i just spent Christmas here. 5 days 4 nites. Words can not express the views from your room....we saw manatees and dolphins from our balcony every day. Lovers Key State Park beach is so private and pristine.
The food at Flippers was fantastic.The staff was so helpful and polite.
This is definatly a place we will return to.
If you go make sure to book directly with Lovers key Resort so you can enjoy the amenities.
Im at a loss for words, you just have to see it for yourself!
