We were there at a time when construction was taking place, so the road into Lovers key was in need of great repair. Our toilet in our unit overflowed and there wasn't a phone in our unit to call maintenance, so I went to the front desk for help. No one was working at the office but, a maintenance man was in the inner office and he came up to help us out. The elevator wasn't fully operational all the time. The restaurant next door, Flippers was very convenient. I'm sure in a few more years when Fort Meyers isn't under going so much rebuilding that roads and bridges are open, things will be better overall. The heated pool was nice as was the gym. It wasn't the most convenient to go to the front desk each morning to get clean towels. Again hopefully in a few more years when more construction is completed in Fort Meyers, there will be more employees to handle housekeeping duties, a shuttle to and from the airport as well as taking guests to shops the beaches and excursions would be a plus.

Beautiful view from all of the floor to ceiling window. Awesome balcony. Full kitchen. Convenient self parking. Relaxed atmosphere. Off the main drag of Fort myers beach. We are so glad we cancelled our “Margaritaville “ reservations for our stay at “Lover’s Key”.

The price quoted by Expedia is not what was required at check in. Not given a good explanation of the reason other than Expedia was wrong. The kitchen appliances were worn. Only had 3 plates, one teaspoon and 3 forks. Staff was friendly.

Not Ready for Prime Time
The resort, as in the general area, was reopened a little too soon. There were some issues, namely things not working plus major reconstruction within the community that caused problems. If you are going to open under these conditions, there should be somewhat of a rate cut. There wasn't.

Help from Hotels.com……forget it
Hotels.com blocked my attempts to contact the hotel before my stay which was very disappointing and annoying. The views of the bay were non existent, we had a view of the car park. The balcony floor was not repaired following last years hurricane, was sandy and had bugs living in it. The staff were very helpful and immediately put right short comings.

An unpleasant surprise
We arrived on Nov. 25 surprised to find that the resort building and site were a hard hat construction area, with scaffolding going up and down the building. The first floor of the building was also under construction. At the first floor front desk we were told we had to pay $500 something. After showing your price summary that we should only owe $415.04, the clerk faxed our info somewhere and later on came back to say we owed another $50. We agreed and after we came home she had actually charged us $50.17 and another $47.95!!! The suite that we had was not clean: the floor was filthy and the paint on the floor of the balcony was peeling and the sliding doors were dirty. The stove knobs were greasy. And the direct access to water was not open. On Monday morning, the construction crew promptly started at 8 AM and was extremely noisy with machines going. They were still working at 5 PM. They started again on Tuesday at 8 AM. I remember reading something about the damage due to Hurricane Ian last year. But they should never have reopened until they were finished with their repair. It was not a pleasant experience.

Property is under renovations which is clearly stated upon booking, but rooms rooms are a hit or miss apparently. We stayed in a room that was dirty, missing blinds, bed was covered in different types of hair, and very outdated. We checked out early due to this but the staff was awesome in helping us out and making sure we felt accommodated. They gave us a full refund and were very apologetic. I understand it’s not their fault the room was this way. It’s really sad we couldn’t enjoy as the views from the room were amazing and it’s really peaceful and quiet at the hotel.

Horrible weekend getaway
Our weekend getaway was a horrible experience. The resort had an ongoing construction and repair work during our stay. We were never notified of this situation. We were very frustrated because there weren't any vending or ice machines available. Information provided by the resort regarding restaurants that were operating were incorrect. Overall we are very dissatisfied and we are not planning to come back or recommend to anyone,

Lovers Key and area was hit directly by Hurricane Ian just a year ago. The area is slowly coming back and Lovers Key Resort is one of the few resorts open in the area. Lovers Key Resort is still working on their building and amenities but all and all it was a Great place for a 2 day get away.

We had a great stay at Lovers Key Resort. The suite was beautiful, clean and completely updated. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the delicious food, drinks and service at Flippers. The pool and deck are maintained beautifully. The resort is located by a State Park with a great beach between Fort Myers Beach and Bonita Springs. Our favorite part was the view overlooking the bay and ocean, so beautiful and peaceful. We plan to go back often.

We stayed on room 902. The room wasn’t very clean. There were moldy moisture socks left in the sliders and window. There were dust balls on the ceiling. The walls and baseboards looked to have never been wiped down. The coffee pot was corroded inside the water reservoir. The place really needs a deep clean. I wonder if the owner realizes their condo looks like that. There was no daily linen service which was disappointing. The view was nice and Restaurant had great food and service. I would go back but to a different unit.

The view from the balcony was excellent. Overall, my daughter and I had a pleasant week together in Florida. We did, however, have some concerns. We were disappointed with some of the amenities in the condo. The kitchen utensils, pans, dishware, and cupboard space left a great deal to be desired. The dining room and living room furniture need an upgrade. There was minimal dresser space. The pool was clean, had enough lounge chairs (although we were there off-season), and the water was a comfortable temperature. The elevators were both out of commission at the same time for 6 to 8 hours during one day. Our condo was on the 10th floor, and we therefore needed to do 10 flights of stairs to go anywhere. This was particularly inconvenient for residents caught at the pool, particularly families who had small children, and others who needed to get out of the sun, eat lunch, take a nap, etc. The restaurant adjacent to the condo, Flippers, had excellent food. It was quite pricey, and they did not deliver. The two entities weren't not linked, I think the option of the food plan would be interesting. The advertisement for the condo described an eight minute walk to the beach. It was more like a five minute drive to the beach, parking, entry fee to the park, and not much of the beach, and driving back in wet swimsuits.

This resort is in a great location, close enough to all things yet off the beaten path enough you did not have to contend with noise or spring break partying. The suite was very large and the whole resort was kept very clean. It is right across the road from the Lovers Key State park which has an amazing 2 miles of beach with a place to rent chairs and umbrellas along with bikes and water small watercraft. . With that said, it is an older resort in need of some refreshing. The TVs are small and only have the the basic Direct TV. Most places today have smart TVs where you can log onto your own streaming services. The paint on the amazing balcony was peeling off and needs to be redone. We had great stay, the restaurant next door is amazing and seems to be a favorite of the locals. This site could be a true "go to" location with just a bit of refreshing of the property

Bait and Switch on Rooms Shown at Booking and Parking Lot Rooms Assigned at Check-in
Don't expect to get the room shown to you online. Very unprofessional bait and switch tactics. We booked a high floor room with the perfect northeast view of the bay. We searched long to find the perfect room for a New Year's Eve 4 night get-a-way. Upon arrival we were assigned a 1st floor room on the parking lot. Conversation at the desk produced lots of double talk.
