xp: Hi! Visiting from NY

Hi SF Nesties :)  RI/NY Nestie w/ some vacation questions. Hoping you guys can help. My dh, two girls and I are coming to Cape Coral to visit w/ my in laws next week.  I haven't been down since our 3 year old was 8 weeks old!  Any suggestions of great restaurants (kid friendly and non-kid friendly), places to take the kids (we have a 3 year old and an 11 month old) things to see ect? My in laws, while great, aren't exactly in the kid mindset so any help at all would be wonderful. Any nice hotels, spas in the area? Fort Myers, Naples..anything is helpful! We might actually get a night away to ourselves, miracle! :)Thanks!  

Re: xp: Hi! Visiting from NY

  • The area you're going to is actually the West coast so you might want to try posting over there.  There are some wonderful hotels over there.  I'm not sure what your budget is so it's kind of difficult.  We always go to Perkins Restaurant (definitely kid-friendly) when we are over that way.  As for Spa hotels, again, depending on your budget, there is the Pink Shell Resort (we were married there) in Estero, the Naples Grande and Coconut Pointe Hyatt (all wonderful).  If you are looking for something less spendy, there is the Inn at the Springs in Bonita Springs that is in walking distance to a lot of things.

    There is also the Naples zoo and a great sight-seeing tram tour.

    HTH!

  • Ha! I posted on west coast and they said to post here :) Thanks! 
  • That is so strange---you're the second person who they did that too.  I'm not sure what's going on over there.  Any way, here's a website that might help with your trip: http://www.fortmyers-sanibel.com/homepage_variations/?hbx_name=Home+Var+1

  • Hey there! I just recently moved from Miami to Fort Myers about 5 months ago. While I'm not too familiar about kid friendly locations (no kiddies on the brain yet) there are a couple of places that are really nice down here. Gulf Coast Town Center in Fort Myers is really nice with very good dining spots, shops, bars and a movie theater. Naples Fifth Avenue is awesome and very close to the beach (although the weather has been chilly). There's also The Mercato in Naples that is like Gulf Coast Town Center. Coconut Point in Estero is a great place for shopping and dining as well. HTH! If I think of anything else I'll let you know.
