Fort Myers Cheap Hotels

There are also budget hotels in Fort Myers but these are not located in prime spots for backpackers. Camping is available at grounds situated outside the city.
The majority of Fort Myers’ hotels fall into the midrange price category. These include the major chains such as Best Western, and there are several independent operations.

Many of the upscale hotels in Fort Myers are located next to the water, whether that is the Gulf of Mexico or the Caloosahatchee River. The Hotel Indigo Fort Myers River District, for instance, lays claim to great views of the waterway, particularly from its rooftop swimming pool.
For visitors who are interested in luxury accommodation, one of the best areas to stay in Fort Myers is near the beach. Here the GullWing Beach Resort, Outrigger Beach Resort and Silver Sands Resort are popular with holiday-makers. Perhaps the best known of these establishments is the Pink Shell Beach Resort & Spa. It does not come cheap but the Pink Shell offers deluxe accommodation and a variety of activities to be enjoyed by families and couples.

Fort Myers is known as a great boating city, and luxury yachts often dock there in between Caribbean adventures. For an unusual but enjoyable accommodation experience, consider hiring a yacht for a few days or longer if your schedule and budget permits. You can sleep on the yacht and go for a memorable ride around the Gulf of Mexico. Some yachts come with a crew or you may prefer to handle it yourself.
Close to Fort Myers is the exclusive resort area of Naples, which boasts some of the finest luxury hotels in the state. This area is particularly popular among golfers and beach-lovers.

If your planned itinerary does not include a lot of time in the city of Fort Myers itself, you may prefer to find accommodation near the airport. You can rent a car when you land, stay at one of the many nearby hotels such as the Holiday Inn Fort Myers Airport Town Center, and then head out on I-75 to the area’s attractions. If you do decide to go downtown, you can drive or make use of public transportation.
