Top Gumbo Limbo Hotel Reviews

Sanibel Island Beach Resort

6/10 Okay

"We have an allergy to down feather pillows, and I was told by the gentleman at the front desk that they do not use down feather pillows, only the polyester. Every pillow in our room was down feather and the evening staff lady did not have any pillows in stock to change out, but said she’d send a note the next morning to the Cleaning staffto get our pillow switched out and that never happened. There was a big black ugly stain in the carpet between both beds. The carpet in that room needs to be replaced."

Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the Margaritaville Beach Resort was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The resort perfectly captures the laid-back island vibe while still feeling upscale, modern, and luxurious. The location is unbeatable, right on the beach with stunning views and easy walking access to restaurants, shops, and local attractions. The rooms were spotless, beautifully decorated, and extremely comfortable. Waking up to the ocean view every morning felt like paradise. The pool area was lively and fun with great music, plenty of seating, and an energetic atmosphere that made every day feel like a vacation celebration. One of the highlights was the staff. Everyone we encountered was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. From check-in to the restaurants and beach service, the hospitality was top-notch and made the experience even more memorable. The food and drinks were fantastic as well. Whether relaxing with a margarita by the beach bar or enjoying dinner after sunset, everything exceeded expectations. The resort has the perfect balance of entertainment and relaxation you can enjoy the lively atmosphere or simply unwind on the beautiful white sand beach steps away from the property. Overall, Margaritaville delivered an amazing vacation experience. If you’re looking for a fun, tropical getaway with beautiful accommodations, great amenities, and true Florida beach vibes, this is it."

Lani Kai Beachfront Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We love staying at the Lani Kai. We’ve been staying there for years, and we are so happy they are fully functioning again. The restaurants are all amazing. The rooms are very spacious. And the views from the balcony are breathtaking!! We look forward to our next stay. Hopefully for July 4th weekend."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Gumbo Limbo?

The best time to visit Gumbo Limbo is from March to May, as you'll experience comfortable temperatures, lower humidity, and fewer crowds.

During these months, the daily temperatures typically range from the low 70s to high 80s Fahrenheit (20s to low 30s Celsius), making it ideal for outdoor activities like exploring the nature centre's trails and enjoying the beach. The dry season, which extends into May, means there's less chance of rain interrupting your plans.

For those looking to avoid the busiest periods and secure better value on accommodation and flights, aiming for late April or early May is a good strategy. You'll still enjoy excellent weather but with fewer visitors than during the peak spring break season.
