Olde Marco Inn & Suites

Frommer's Review

Considered by many to be one of Florida's most romantic resorts, the Victorian-style Olde Marco Inn & Suites dates from 1883, when Capt. Bill Collier built it on the Calusa Indian Grounds. While maintaining its historic charm, the place has been remodeled and updated, and now has 51 new one- and two-bedroom, two-bathroom suites decorated with a tropical flair. Six penthouses on the fifth floor overlooking the Gulf are worth the splurge, ranging in size from 1,300 to 6,000 square feet. Lush gardens almost make you feel as if you're not even close to the beach, but you are. In addition to stellar service, the inn has one of the area's nicest restaurants, Cafe de Marco, serving up fine seafood. For further relaxation, a spa and fitness center are also available. But the best amenity, hands down, is the private 38-foot catamaran that sails guests to serene, unspoiled beaches on and around Marco Island. These trips are complimentary and include beach chairs and towels. While on the boat, keep your eyes open for dolphins and manatees. Evening cruises with wine, beer, soft drinks, and appetizers are also available, but for a nominal fee. Couples looking for a first, second, or third honeymoon should stay here, without question.
