Casa Playa Beach Resort

This was the most affordable, romantic, and relaxing place to stay on the beach! The staff is very friendly, rooms are great, and the hotel is the perfect walking distance from the restaurants and stores. We have stayed in Fort Myers multiple times, but we’ll be coming back to Casa Playa next time! The gulf view & ocean view are both fantastic from the balcony. They provide you with chairs, umbrellas, & tables for the beach.

Great location, its nice to be in a smaller building on the sand. Nice and affordable stays on the beach, clean pool. Front office staff is friendly and helpful. No traffic on the north end of island, unlike most of the island where there is a lot of traffic in busy months of the year.

Front desk clerk was very nice. The maintenance guy needs to get a big raise! Very attentive. Room was ok but for what we paid, not good. I know things are bad since covid but we didn't get but one set of towel and wash clothes for 5 days. Only one package of coffee for 5 days. Unacceptable, sorry. The first night the elevator died. Called maintenance. Night before check out our room cards didn't work. Owners need to pay attention to their properties.

Two adults, two teens. Great location within walking distance of the main square area. Free bikes are a great perk. Staff very friendly and helpful. Had a little trouble with one of the grills, but may have been operator error. The second grill worked fine. Waterfront view on fifth floor was ideal for sunsets. Not a long drive to mini golf, Corkscrew Nature Preserve, Sanibel Island. Saw several manatees at Lovers Key State Park. Good trip.

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful time at Casa Playa Resort. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. They provided beach chairs and umbrellas and even had bicycle rentals. They offered us complimentary adult beverages for the beach! The hotel is located a few blocks down from the main ***** , which was great if you’re looking for a quiet and relaxing stay. Resort is just minutes away from more of a nightlife/party environment. Perfect location. Highest f recommendations !

Our 11th visit to Casa Playa and our last. A new management company has taken over the resort and the prices have skyrocketed and the care of the building and customers has gone down. Asked for a lower floor as the elevator often is not working--yes--that happened--we are old and were on the 7th floor. Not a good thing. No hot water in the bathroom for four days--and the bathroom sink did not drain when brushing teeth. Remedy was to take the plug out -- but Grant did clean out something and we had hot water. We stayed 10 nights and never had a change of sheets. Yes, new towels every two days--finally after six nights I asked for sheets and changed my own!! We did receive a little back on the four days we were without water. The units need updating. A bit of paint does not do it. (You can put lipstick on a pig and you still have a pig) Now charging an $18 resort fee for use of the pool, a towel and a chair on the beach. It got cold and we started the heater only to have the smoke alarms go off as they were full of dust. Yes, Grant again cleaned them out--but that should have been generally done when fall arrived. We truly loved this place. Small, friendly, great beach that is not crowded and on a quiet end of the island. Yancy and Grant are under paid for what they have to do--and they are the nice ones!! Things have changed. Never once was there an apology for not having hot water, non working heater, walking 7 flights of staris - it's all about the money. Sad--but demand is there for small units on the island and they are rented out--although one couple complained and got a full refund and moved to another hotel. I did visit with other long time guests who feel the same way. Be nice--apologize--make it right when something does not work. Oh, and change the sheets after a week!
