Matanzas Inn Bayside Resort and Marina

Only thing we didn’t know about and didn’t like was the noise at the end where the bar/ restaurant is. We stayed in room 102 and that was our only complaint. Even tho we are drinkers, we aren’t late night people. So you have the noise till entertainment ( which was good) was done. Then every morning around 4/5 the workers are unloading food trucks. Slamming what we thought might be bags of ice. So not enough sleep. We would definitely stay there again, we would just ask to be in another building. Enjoy.

Would stay here every time we come to Ft Myers! Loved everything about it. Much happier here than in a huge corporate hotel!

This is the best location and our view of the Bay was amazing. Loved having the kitchen and balcony. The A/C worked great.

Great location! Didn’t like that the air conditioner/fan is fairly loud and stays on all the time, bed is super hard and uncomfortable. Walls seem to be very thin as you could hear your neighbors fairly well. Not hotels fault but garbage truck came across the street to empty dumpster every morning around 6:30. I think if you stayed in the canal side it would be more quiet and is very beautiful back there. Again GREAT location!!!!

I stayed in room 142 - perfect for me as a single traveler. My only minor inconvenience was the noisy neighbor the first 2 nights - but that isn’t any fault of the Inn. Would recommend to my friends and family and already trying to figure out when I can come again!

The office only open during business hours. Plane landed at 7 so office was closed. I was able to get keys from lock box, that part was easy. Next morning left before office was open. Worked all day and got back to condo at 1 am. The key fob they gave me did not work. I went to office, closed. Called number given answering machine. Tried after hours maintenance, sent to voice mail. I’m a single lady outside. I called the number on their web site and thankfully it gave a different maintenance number. I called it and went to voice mail. It is now 1:30. I was desperate so I tried that number a couple more times. And a very nice gentleman answered. The only problem was that he was on vacation. He said he would try to get someone there to help. 25 min later someone came out. It ended up not my fob being an issue but the sensor for fobs. He tried his master fob and a master key card. Neither worked. 15 min later he came back with a real key. And it finally opened at 230. Had an early flight. Not happy. They are not prepared for locked out issues after 7. Would not go back. BUT the guy on vacation and the poor guy who helped were great.

Positives: clean, comfortable, kitchen area had plates/ glasses/utensils available to use, great little pool (not super busy/crowded when we went), very walkable to nearby restaurants, quick walk to the beach, friendly staff Negatives: a little noisy from the bridge traffic (we.were in one of the cottages) This was a great place to stay while we were visiting Fort Myers Beach. I would recommend it and stay here again in the future.

Location wonderful. Close to everything. Parking great. Restaurants are very good. Nice view from the canal side.

The location is close enough to walk to the beach but not on the main road to have to deal with all the traffic, noise, or people. A tucked in gem! Rooms were simple but clean. Provided everything that could be needed for multi night stay. Parking was perfect with designated spaces for each room. Nice,cozy outdoor sitting areas on canal and by pool. Staff was friendly and very accommodating.
