NO DISHWASHER, so rewash everything before you use it. everything was greasy, guests are expected to wash all dishes, glasses, silverware, etc. and put it away before they depart. even though we brought our own chairs and umbrella for the beach, there are lots of umbrellas, chairs, beach toys to use & enjoy at your leisure. best part of this location is the HUGE beach. it is a walk to get to the shoreline, but so quiet, relaxing and void of people. like we had the whole beach to ourselves. the check in crew are SUPER friendly, always willing to help. also like the location, easy to get to bonita springs & naples to explore some other dining options besides the ones nearby. yes, the place is dated, but we were there for the sun & beach. rooms are meant to sleep, shower and store your stuff in. if you get pissy about decor, then stay home and enjoy your own house, it's a vacation, just go, enjoy yourself and don't get hung up on the minutia. i would stay here again, just because of the location!

It was great to see dishwasher pods, dishwashing liquid, and laundry detergent sitting out for us to use. The kitchen is fully stocked with any dishes or cookware you could possibly need. There are also pool towels above the washing machine and extra blankets in the linen closet. The pool is well-maintained and there is plenty of seating on the deck. There are a couple gas grills on either side of the resort that are open for guests to use. The location is great as well! It's far enough from the downtown-ish area to have a bit of privacy, but not too far that you feel out of the loop. You can borrow a couple bicycles for free from the front desk in order to go explore shops and restaurants. What I especially love is the access to the beach. If you walk out of the resort toward the crosswalk and cross the street, there is a small path that takes you out toward the ocean. The clientele is very diverse in age, but overall Tropical Sands is a very family friendly resort. On the side of the building there are pool and beach toys that are free for guests to borrow. If you are on the bottom floor of the resort, the door handle of the screened-in porch is high enough that little kids probably won't be able to reach it and escape. (But you should still keep an eye on those kiddos!) It is important to note that there is no lifeguard on duty. The pool is six feet deep at the deepest point and three feet deep at the most shallow end. If you have kids, it's best not to leave them unattended. There is also a hot tub and a couple outdoor showers. Overall, I highly recommend this resort!

Windward Passage Resort: Ardent Sunsets…read more Fifty-five years ago, as young educators, my wife and I selected Ft. Meyers beach as a holiday destination during the Christmas break. We enjoyed the Christmas holidays with our parents and relatives and drove south to Ft. Meyers Beach Holiday Inn for a week of sun, and the salty beaches and the Gulf of Mexico. I recall that we made this excursion in our new 1968 Camaro that did not have power steering, power anything, airbags, or a GPS system. And we endured/enjoyed the drive. What were we thinking? Holiday Inn and a road-trip to Florida? This was to be the last holiday taken in this fashion. We soon realized that our lifestyle provided plenty of holiday time, and we have the resources to fly to U.S. and world-wide destination. Holidays Inns are a vague and very distance memory. I tend to be a linear thinker concerning attendance at national conferences and in terms of planning holidays. We seem to have a queue of airline tickets and timeshare reservations. The vital holiday planning is for spring break. Within weeks of the last spring break, we are trading for next year's spring break, and we are finding airline tickets as soon as the airlines post the routes. There are too many reasons to purchase a two-bedroom condo, and our stable is filled with ten two-bedroom timeshares. However, we traded years ago into Windward Passage Resort (418 Estero Boulevard Fort Myers Beach, FL 33931 239-463-1194) on the quiet north section of Ft. Meyers Beach. Ft. Meyers Beach is not Sanibel and Captiva, but for a small fraction of the price, we purchased two weeks of one-bedroom units. There are very few two-bedroom units at this property, and very few two-bedroom units appear on the secondary market. I believe that location is vital; that timeshare ownership should be in geographic areas that one will re-visit; and that timeshare ownership is not an economic investment, but rather a lifestyle investment. Windward Passage Resort also turned out to be an economic investment. We sold the two properties at a profit. Windward Passage Resort is a resort that we greatly enjoyed for several years; all 52 weeks are flex ownership, and we always scheduled the very same unit for two consecutive weeks. Timeshare owners know the advantage of making these arrangements: no refrigerator transfer of food, no kitchen transfer, no bathroom transfers, and no clothing or luggage transfer. Windward Passage Resort has a great swimming pool on the south side; we always arranged to reserve our units on the north side with a beach view rather than a view of children playing about the pool. Some years, we found profit in renting the unit, and these ocean and beach front one-bedroom units traded into five star and two-bedroom units with a degree of ease. All 53 week are red weeks at Windward Passage Resort. My wife and I are avid tennis fans, and Windward Passage Resort, and the tennis courts are one story high on the roof of the parking lot. This is a unique and clever arrangement, and one which discourages ball retrieval. The photographs (while limited) on the Interval international Website do not provide justice to this gem of a property. Ft. Meyers is the archetypical Florida "snowbird city." The hordes come in November and depart in April. This means that often the bridge from Ft. Meyers to Ft. Meyers Beach is in gridlock. This is not the case in the summer months. We fly to the Ft. Meyers airport, pick up a Hertz number 1 automobile and drive the 18-22 miles to Windward Passage Resort in about 30 minutes. During the "snowbird months" allow at least an hour for the same trip. I posted this review on the Web several years ago: "Outstanding small resort located between city pier and city park. Although small rooms, the veranda provides an outstanding Gulf view. Summers are hot and humid, and good vacation times. Winters can generate fierce traffic problems. Hurricanes have done their worst to this property, and it has always bounced back. Ideal for small families. Great staff." The following post is representative as a summary of Many Web posts: "A unique, intimate Resort in a great beach location. Socials include Ice Cream Day, Pancake Day, Hot Dog, Burger Day & free coffee any day. A user-friendly quiet Resort with heated pool and complimentary beach chairs. Bring your own beach towels as they are not supplied and minimum toilet tissue or you can purchase additional rolls. Not far near the end of N. Ft. Myers Beach is the fabulous Pine Shell Resort for a tropical drink or meal and several quality island restaurants." The absolute best part of the day is at sunset. People flock to the beach in an almost religious manner to silently observe the ardent red ball of sun "descend into the ocean" or into a thin layer of clouds that provide a hue of red and pink for a 30-minute afterglow following sunset.
