Top Gulf Shores Hotel Reviews

The Lighthouse Resort Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"I couldn’t have picked a better location to stay. So many things to do around just a short walk away. I booked a 2 bedroom suite and it was so comfortable. Loved having a kitchen and living room to hang with my daughter and her fiancée. The parking was a bit tight but we always managed to find a good spot to park…I’ll definitely stay again…"

Edison Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"Here’s a polished version of your review: Excellent Stay at Edison House! Excellent service from start to finish! The front desk staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always helpful. The accommodations had everything we needed. Just bring your bathing suit and toothbrush—everything else is there for you! We had a wonderful experience and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend Edison House to anyone looking for a relaxing and hassle-free stay!"

Margaritaville Beach Resort Fort Myers

10/10 Excellent

"I can't say there was anything I didn't like because everything was truly perfect. The rooms were super clean and spacious, the service was excellent, and the food and drinks were exquisite and of a very high standard, especially at the JBW restaurant. It was an unforgettable experience with the sea views and the attention from Charles and the entire team. I loved my stay at the hotel and will definitely return!🤗🙏"

Hyatt Vacation Club at Coconut Cove, Bonita Springs

10/10 Excellent

"The property is absolutely gorgeous and the staff is so kind. Of course, before going to the property I read about the timeshare spiel, so we declined those when offered a session. The rooms are huge, and the property was easily traversed. Highly recommend!"
