This self-contained, condo-style resort has several pools, including a kids' pool, and bright rooms all have full kitchens. Bowditch Point Park nature preserve is just next door, and the city's own bustling Times Square is a 15-minute walk from the hotel. Breakfast is free, and the beach restaurant and bar are major highlights as well. The Pointe Estero Beach Resort has similar features and will be cheaper, but the Pink Shell's on-site activities make it a popular choice for families.

DiamondHead Beach Resort & Spa is an easy-going, three-and-a-half-pearl property located on Fort Myers Beach. The resort’s 124 one-bedroom suites are kitted out with kitchenettes and screened-in balconies, in addition to separate living areas with sofa beds. DiamondHead’s central location puts guests within easy walking distance of ample shopping and dining, and there’s lots to do on-site as well, with a pool, a small spa, three restaurants, and direct beach access. However, much of it comes at a cost, as guests are charged a daily resort fee. Travelers looking for similar amenities who want to spend less may want to compare with Wyndham Garden Fort Myers Beach, where rates are often cheaper.

This mid-range condo resort is located on the southern end of Estero Island, a quiet area right by a huge beach. The 60 one- and two-bedroom condos have full kitchens with dishwashers, as well as washer and dryers, fairly spacious living areas, and wraparound balconies with gorgeous views of the beach and the Gulf of Mexico. There’s a tennis court, a volleyball net on the beach, a large heated pool, and a Jacuzzi -- but you won’t find much within walking distance, and the decor is pretty dated, with flower bedspreads, old (but huge) tube TVs, and lots of rattan.

Tiki On The Beach is a pleasant hotel with a prime location on Fort Myers Beach, but there isn't much in the way of restaurants or shops nearby, and the hotel isn't within walking distance of buzzy "Times Square." The two-and-a-half-pearl inn’s 11 homey, well-maintained apartment-style units are comfortable and have beachy decor, but some feel slightly dated, with old-fashioned floral prints.

With on-site features limited to a guest barbecue area and laundry facilities, travelers looking for more amenities might want to compare rates with The Neptune Resort.
