Frommer's Review
Formerly Clarence Chadwick's 330-acre copra plantation, this exclusive establishment is the premier property on these two islands. It's one of the best choices in South Florida for serious tennis buffs. Its Gulf-side golf course is one of the most picturesque 9-holers anywhere, and its two marinas host scuba-dive operators. The resort occupies all of Captiva's northern third, making it ideal if you want to step from your luxury house or condominium right onto 2 1/2 miles of gorgeous beach. The resort is so spread out that a free trolley shuttles back and forth through the mangrove forests. In 2005 it underwent a whopping $140-million renovation in which rooms -- from standard hotel rooms to one-, two-, and three-bedroom beach villas and private homes -- were done up in a soothingly swank West Indies decor. Other enhancements include a souped-up pool area with two new lagoon-style pools, private luxury cabanas with DVD players, plasma TVs, cabana stewards, a redesigned golf course, and new bars and restaurants. The resort's no-cash, charge-to-your-room policy prevents gate-crashers from entering the resort proper. Activities are stellar and include day cruises to Cabbage Key and Useppa, as well as specialty trips for shelling, dolphin watching, and sunset viewing. In addition to the Harbourside Grill with views of the harbor, due to arrive in late 2007 are a sushi bar, ice cream parlor, and pizzeria.
