Unfortunately, we could not spend any time on tje beach. The staff cleans the sand everyday, which caused high tide and rain to build up on the beach. We did not get on the beach at all because of flooding. The resort would not refund our 8 days we had remaining when we left early. There's no point in staying when the only reason for booking was the beach. I am very disappointed with the staff's comments and actions after an early departure. We will not be back and will not recommend to anyone.

Once I got there they suprise you with hidden fees for everything. Maid service only cleaned my room once and that's because I requested service. Let me not start with the fact that they hit you with the parking fee? How am I paying for stay at a hotel if I have to pay for parking. It was a horrible experience.

Hotel has been updated nicely since our last stay and as always, we love the closeness of the beach and walkable restaurants and shops. Lots of parking but would not let our son park on the hotel property (even though they had 20 spots available) and he had to park in a lone lot across the street. New humidifier in the room definitely removed water out of the air but had to be emptied about every 3 hours, including middle of the night when a nice little “full” alarm woke me up at 3 am. Small annoyance but otherwise a great stay. As always, we love the Lani Kai and will return again (maybe turn off the humidifier next time!)

I recently stayed at the Lani Kai and had an absolutely amazing time! The staff were so friendly, fun, and welcoming—they really made the experience special. Our room was clean, comfortable, and had an incredible view of the beach. The Fort Myers Beach area is fantastic with so many neat little shops and restaurants all within walking distance. It made exploring the area so easy and enjoyable. We truly had a blast and can’t wait to come back!

The room was very clean and beautiful balcony view of the ocean. The staff were very friendly. There was a pretty dining room were we had a good breakfast. I wish they would had offered a small token (maybe a free drink or appetizer) when we let them know we were celebrating our anniversary. The music was a little loud at night but not too bad when we closed our balcony doors. The most negative item was that you had to pay $20 for parking even though you booked a room. I feel this should be included or at the very least be informed of this when booking.
