Matanzas Inn Bayside Resort and Marina

Great place, really close to the beach and nightlife but more chill, and Penny at the front desk is fantastic!

This was my first time staying in one of the cottages across the street from Mantanzas Inn Bayside Resort, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The Bayside staff provide a very clean and tidy residence. The staff was also friendly and informative. The parking beside the cottage was adequate, somewhat protected, and convenient.

In a good position in Fort Myers Beach. Parking included. Walkable to beach and bars. No housekeeping, even by request.

From Penny ( who didn't know she was a You Tube star.lol a video from a previous stay took a video and praised her..which made our decision to stay also..)at the front desk to the cleaners, the grounds, pool,hot tub, our room ,the food everything was excellent just what we where looking for, 2 restaurants and bars, music and great views of the bay with the boats..short walk to the Fort Myers Beach..with shopping, restaurants ,bars and music along the way..went to the upper deck restaurant bar at the hotel on Sat night. and listened to Big Daddy Rich who's a buffalo guy always a good time listening to him sing all our favorites then the waitress comes over.. recognized..our accent..lol..she's from Buffalo also...So we had to order both pizza and wings and we were NOT disappointed... Excellent !. And We are Buffalo Peeps ⛵.We had a Great 44 th. Anniversary get away ..Thanks again Penny 💕

That staff was exceptional... my brother became ill when we arrived and they couldn't have been more caring or thoughtful

Been going to Mantanzas for several years, best place to go. Great restaurant, rooms, pool. Enough parking and no charge for it. Staff has been very accommodating.

Great trip. Room was clean and staff were polite and helpful. We did have an issue with parking. Arrived on a Sunday before our room was ready. We were in pool when a parking company started going through lot booting cars without parking pass. We were able to get a pass in time but someone in our party got booted and had to pay a (discounted) fee to parking guy to get boot removed. Matanzas needs to issue parking passes as soon as they are aware a guest is on the property, even if room is not yet ready.

Very walkable. Pool is maintained well. Restaurant attached is good. Daily live music give the place a great flair.

Parking is very convenient. Spots right in front of the rooms and the lot was never completely full. Petey's Upper Deck is one of the coolest places to have a couple drinks with a view of the bay. The room was very clean. Loved the deck off the back and the common seating areas along the canal. We'll definitely be back!
