Bottom Line
Best Western Plus Beach Resort in Fort Myers is a 75-room, mid-range hotel where guests can walk out the front door and find themselves right on the beach. Several restaurants are within walking distance, and water sport equipment (wave runners, sailboats, kayaks, paddleboards, and parasails) can be rented at the hotel. Rooms are basic and small, but those on the beach side of the property offer stunning views of the Gulf of Mexico. Rates aren't the lowest in Fort Myers, but with free breakfast, Wi-Fi, parking, and beach access the value is excellent.

Located on the white sands of Fort Myers Beach, Best Western Plus Beach Resort is a mid-range hotel that should suit families seeking a beach getaway. Its exterior matches the sand, and the brightness of the beach carries into the hotel's lobby through large bay windows. The lobby's front desk matches the ocean's blue, and beach prints adorn the white walls. Outside, the heated, rectangle-shaped pool is located behind the hotel on the way to the beach. Adjacent to the pool is a tropical garden area complete with palm trees, a shuffleboard court, benches for lounging, a covered picnic area, and a playground.
