Getting there and best time to visit
The resort sits at 400 S Collier Blvd, Marco Island, Florida 34145. The closest airport with scheduled commercial service is Naples Municipal Airport (APF); the resort lists Naples as approximately 19 miles away. Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) in Fort Myers is the nearest major international airport and is commonly used by guests for wider flight options.
Driving or a rental car is the easiest way to reach Marco Island; Jolley Bridge connects the island to the mainland. Public bus options exist but take significantly longer than a taxi or car service, and the property does not provide an airport shuttle. During November–April the weather is driest and most popular; hurricane season runs roughly June–November, so check forecasts for summer travel.
