It's warm today in Buffalo, but I'm dreaming of being back at the Outrigger. We love it there and cannot wait to come back! We even wanted to cut our trip to Key West short to come back!! Very relaxing, staff is outstanding (especially Cindy from the Cafe`) - everything was great. Hope to see you all again soon! Maureen & George, Buffalo, NY

My husband, son and myself just returned home last Sunday from a wonderful week at the Outrigger. We were there last October and want to return again next October. All of the staff are wonderful. Gina and Marie from guest services are fantastic. Please let them know how wonderful we think they are. The gentlemen that tend bar at the Tiki Hut are also a great group of guys. Thank you very much for another wonderful stay at the Outrigger Resort. John, Chris and Brad Trigsted

I just have to say that this was a fabulous resort. The staff are incredibly welcoming and helpful. The resort was very clean and really quiet. It wqas nice not to have children running around screaming! The beach and the sunsets are beautiful. I have been to Fort Myers 6 times and now plan to come back every year and stay at this resort. It really made my holiday. PS - Charley's does fantastic food!

We love it! We like spending some of our holidays and taking weekend getaways there. A favorite tradition is Easter and July 4th. The fire works off the pier are the best. We stay atleast 5-6 times thru the year. We enjoy the beach all day, go across the street to dinner and get flashlights and walk the beach at night looking for night creatures. We love staying at the Outrigger!!! Nothing like going up to the tiki bar and getting a rumrunner and sitting on the beach listening to the waves and seeing the dolphins.

I'm already bummed out that I had to leave The Outrigger and Fort Myers Beach. It's so drab and gloomy here in Ohio. I just got home this past Sunday, and we stayed at the resort for most of last week. This was my third time staying at The Outrigger, and I'm too reluctant to stay anywhere else because I feel I'll be too disappointed staying anywhere else. I'm already trying to arrange a trip to come back in September. For all of you down there on the beach, soak up some sun! My tan lines are already fading.

My family stayed at the Outrigger for 8 days in June. We chose it after much research and decided that all the good reviews made the decision easy. We were not dissapointed. The property was beautiful our room was clean and was kept that way our entire stay.The flowers in our room on the second day were a wonderful touch. We will be back!

My husband and I recently stayed at the resort and enjoyed our entire time there. Staff was very friendly and rooms were very clean. I must say that the resort was also very quiet. Kids were not running around out of control. We enjoyed getting up every morning and walking the beach and other areas. Our friend recommened two different places to us and we originally had reservaitons toward the end of the island and I am so glad we changed our minds to stay at the Outriggers. We drove by the other place and it was very busy and loud. You will see us again next year and we will be staying out entire trip with you.

I first visited the OBR in 1988 and again on my Honeymoom in 2005. The place, as well as the staff and service are still great! The bartender does need to work on his Daiquiri's, however, whichwere brutally strong. My wife nearly passed out before dinner.
