I have traveled to this resort for many many years...It has all the ammenities of home. Recent upgrades at this resort insures that it will be just as good for years to come. You are on the more northern part of the island...which is great for a more quiet environment. If it is the nightlife you crave...the good news is... More

We did not notice many positive changes. Always felt that we were a bother if we stopped into the main office with a quick question. Our unit was clean and quiet. Loved the Smokin' Oyster Bar in Ft. Myers Beach!!! The majority of guests were seniors. Some of the beach chairs need replacing with comfortable ones. Why are guests charged... More

We had so much fun at the Windward Passage thanks to the staff and mother nature. We changed our reservation to the WP at the last minute from another location just down the street and were so thrilled we did. It is a very family-friendly location, near to numerous restaurants and shops but far enough to avoid most of the... More

The place is ok to stay for a short period of time. As 1200 for the week being the cheapest rate its ok for the value. You can always hear the air conditioner in the other rooms and the ones in the room are a bit loud but work awesome. This place is definitely for older people to stay at.... More

we loved it here!!! loved Klaus the manager. loved the location on the island. I am so glad that this resort had an available unit. I have knee problems and walking to the water's edge was a piece of cake. Even the other guests were nice. You'll love it here!

Love it. Clean. We are in two br and two bath room with full kitchen with dishwasher overlooking the pool and the beach with huge balcony. Walking distance to shops. Huge sliding glass doors from master bedroom and livingroom onto balcony. Ocean views from every room. Beach is not crowded. We will be back.:)

Location, Location, Location! This is certainly a superb location right on a wonderful clean safe beach. A 10 minute walks along the beach or the side walk to the vibrant Times Square district of Fort Myers Beach. The units are however very small, however you aren’t going to spend much time in them are you? The resort is showing signs... More

The units are well appointed and clean. Free laundry facilities are available on the first floor. This resort has a few different buildings. The tower units all face the ocean. The majority of the other units do not. However, this location is the BEST! This resort is north of the San Carlos bridge. Therefore, the traffic flow is MUCH lighter.... More
