Majestic Resort Condominiums on Glamorous Marina

The sound of a trickling indoor waterfall greets visitors to the Resort at MarinaVillage, a palatial 19-story condominium resort that overlooks the bobbing sailboats in Cape Coral's Tarpon Point Marina. A menagerie of fish rest adjacent to the lobby’s front desk, and palm fronds peek through the arching windows—setting the tone for the resort’s pet-welcoming and eco-friendly surroundings.

After opening the door of an elegant one- or two-bedroom suite, sojourners step into a spacious open floor plan that blends modern, luxurious touches with the comforts of home. Shiny countertops line the well-appointed kitchen area, and the adjoining dining-room and living-room areas give way to a private, screened balcony that yields sweeping views of either the river, the marina, Sanibel Island, or the lush, emerald-like wilderness preserve. Upon return from a long day out, the master bedroom's plush king-size bed beckons tired legs to rest, and a remote summons fingers to search for award-winning infomercials on the flat-screen TV immediately across the way.

The turquoise waters of the three enormous outdoor pools glitter just steps away from the main building, luring loungers to bask on the relaxing peripheral sundecks below palm trees. Travelers can maintain physiques in the sleek fitness center, and the attached Esterra Spa & Salon whisks away stress in road-weary bodies with massages, haircuts, and manicures. A nearby social pavilion facilitates festivity with clay tennis courts, an amphitheater, and other outdoor amusements, and three on-site restaurants seat guests to munch seafood and sip tropical drinks among sea breezes and waterscape views. Meanwhile, a ready fleet of concierge staff members at the Resort at MarinaVillage are on hand to help assemble itineraries of nearby attractions.

Cape Coral, Florida: Picturesque Coastal City with Waterfront Attractions

Nestled comfortably beside the Gulf of Mexico, San Carlos Bay, and the Caloosahatchee River, the Resort at MarinaVillage carves out a strategic launching pad for travelers to explore aquatic activities. The resort can set up seafarers to disembark from the marina for a relaxing boat ride or charter fishing tour. Families can set their tadpoles loose in the surrounding area's various water parks and amusement centers featuring mini golf, arcades, and go-karts. On selected dates, a shuttle ferries groups daily to soak in rays and hug lonely hermit crabs at the nearby white sandy beaches.

The Promenade Shops surround MarinaVillage, and wayfarers can fill shopping bags with beach attire from chic boutiques or fill mouths at the gelato stand and deli. The day's fresh catch is grilled up and served on dockside restaurants that dot the water's edge—including the delightfully kitschy Cabbage Key, where guests kick back and sip cocktails among thousands of dollar bills that have been taped to the bar's surrounding surfaces.
