The website is very decieving and i asked the lady at the front desk what the deal was. She explained that across the street is the Port of the Island Resort and Marina soon to be introduced as Retreat del Sol at Port of the Islands, and that orbitz was using there pictures for the hotel called just Port Of the Islands, which is where orbitz books you and where i stayed. It is not a three star resort, but the old building is very nice. They have a full size olympic pool, and a small bar, but are currently in the process of building a full bar and ballroom according to the woman at the front desk. The staff was very helpful, and the hotel is about 20 minutes from Naples and 15 minutes from Everglades City. If you like a more rustic, off the beaten path hotel, this is the place to stay. If your looking for luxury avoid this place and stay in Naples.

After reviewing the hotels website and reading some other reviews, we decided to go with this hotel. It was priced at a bargain of $91 per night on Cheaptickets.com, so we couldn't pass it up.

The hotel's website is a lie and is very deceiving.

I wish we would have just stayed at the Super 8 in Naples.

This place is a dump.

Our room had not been updated for at least a decade. There was only one lamp in the corner of the room. There were no bedside lamps. There was no alarm clock. There weren't any hangers for clothes. The TV had the worst reception I've seen in years- rabbit ears would have been better.

We were told that our room was the best one they had to offer. They lied straight to my face.

They remedied the lamp and alarm clock situation, but my impression was made and nothing they could do at that point would have made me happy... well, maybe a full refund so we could step up to Super 8 or Motel 6.

Avoid this place.

IThe location is 30 minutes outside Naples and 20 minutes from Marco Island.

We found out about this place from a travel book dated 2006 that called it a "Full service resort" and was called "Ultra-Deluxe". It was far from that. I would say it's similar to a decent La Quinta. Maybe 2.5 stars. Checkin person wasn't particularly talkative, but it went pretty smooth. The place was absolutely empty giving it a very eerie feel. Rooms were nicely appointed with a nice TV (many channels), a player (!) and a fridge and microwave. At first we were excited about having a deck, but then disappointed in finding out that it's a veranda that goes around the entire building. We had a view of the the empty parking lot. They did provide a small breakfast of english muffins and Costco like pastries. The fruit salad looked several days old. About the best feature of the place is the pool. Very large and clean and comfortable. We were there only one night and when we checked out, I noticed a couple of signs. One was the schedule for the "mobile" spa, and another saying that they do not offer maid service. Weird. I think that are in the process of converting this resort into some kind of mini-condo room things or something.

Knowing what I know now, I wouldn't pay over $125 a night for this place. And if you have nothing going on in the area, stay in Naples.

Of the seven nights we stayed in Florida in February, this was by far and away the best. We were driven in here by oncoming thunderstorms in the bay and expected to pay an arm and a leg, but found the prices to be no different to those elsewhere.

The room, located off the main atrium was adequate, with a shared balcony that wrapped around the outside, and contained all the usual amenities one would expect to find in a US Hotel room. The bar area was well populated, probably as it was a Friday night, and we ate a light bite in the excellent restaurant-crab rolls, which were superb.

The weather knocked the power out, but we sat outside, guests and locals mingling, shooting the breeze, til the power got back on.
The weather failed to clear in time to visit Everglades City for the Seafood Festival on the Saturday, and a second night was sadly not an option, as they were fully booked.

A return visit for us will be a must.
