Tip Top Isles Waterfront Resort & Marina||Overview||Prices||Reviews|My husband and I spent several days here and our children and grandchildren joined us for the weekend. We had a wonderful time. This hotel is quirky. The rooms, I was in several, are VERY clean. The king rooms are a good size. There is a table with 2 kitchen chairs, a good size dresser and a desk. The king beds are platform beds so instead of a box spring the mattress sits on wood. It is still very comfortable but be careful of the corners. I put the luggage rack at the foot of the bed after the first time I walked into the corner and had no problem with the corner again. That could be me. A little clumsy. The floors are tile and clean. I like that. No dirty carpet. There are tables and chairs outside every room and we even made friends with the neighbors. The outside is not pretty and it surely could be. The walkways need painting and get rid of the ugly pieces of patio furniture. There are plenty of comfortable chairs and tables without them. Some blinds or contact paper on the store room windows would go a long way. The pool area could use some new umbrellas but the pool is wonderful. It was clean and warm. The owners are on site and very sweet and helpful. I upgraded one of the rooms I reserved from the double queen to the loft. I am so happy I did. The grandkids loved it. There was room for everyone to spread out. We had no problem with the wifi connection the way we do with most hotels. And the TV had at least 100 channels. There is a TV in the patio area and plenty of nice tables and chairs. Please get rid of the old recliner. There are charcoal grills, kayaks and bicycles on site to use and the marina. We did not rent a boat but if we had one more day, we would have. Maybe next time. And then, of course, there is the price. This is the best place for the money that we have stayed in and we take get-a-way weekends several times a year.|Location||About||Photos||Summary?Edit review||3.9||Good||||178 reviews||Rooms3.6Location4.5Service4.3||What guests are sayingMORE||"Average place not bad, location nice, people friendly, staff helpful"||"Very nice employees and marina, but the hotel rooms need a bit fixed up."||"The small Marina attached to the facility was pretty cool...rented a pontoon..."||Couples3.7||Families4.2||||3.5/5 · 112 reviews||TripAdvisor||||3.7/5 · 282 reviews||Expedia.com||||3.8/5 · 269 reviews||Orbitz.com||||7.8/10 · 344 reviews||Booking.com||||3.4/5 · 263 reviews||Travelocity.com||||3.6/5 · 92 reviews||Hotels.com||Reviews||||Most helpful||||All reviews||||Ellen Mackerowski5/55 hours ago on  Google||My husband and I spent several days here and our children and grandchildren joined us for the weekend.

Read moreOk, this is a cute and small place for the beginning of your honeymoon...
Even laughed when I looked at the woman across the parking lot smoking under the "no smoking on the grounds" sign.
Careful in the bathroom, it is the thinnest of the single ply tp... was afraid
But getting done from a 11 hour drive from SC and you lay on the bed and it's springs and you sink in it, not a good way, you start questioning it. We walk in and the bed, I pictured (not the picture they have with Ai bed), is there, I think "ok not going to be bad." It was bad. Those springs were worn and tired either from the mattress or the frame. There's a nice middle part of it where you don't sink, but if you or your wife roll over, everybody sinks. It was hard to get comfortable. My feet were a little higher than my head.
And, there were bumpy things under the sheet... Crumbs? From what? I don't know, but hey better than bed bugs.
Again, I was pooped from a long drive and ready for bed, could have hit the bed and be out. Went to bed at 8ish and a 6:30 am wake up... could not fall asleep. Bed, poor a/c struggling to keep the place cool (not cold, cool) in Florida June loud, the noise from the road could he heard. When I finally fell asleep, some guy drove past full throttle at 11 (just dozed off between 10:30- 11) I know the resort can't control motorists, but can help soundproofing. I got about 5 hours after getting up at 2am the night before.
Wife and I were up at 5am, both looked at each other, got up, got ready, packed, and out.
We hated canceling a 4 night booking, but we knew we couldn't do the weekend here.
They were ok with canceling Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night for us. Still charged us for the night we spent (understanding). I hate leaving bad reviews, look at my review history, 4-5s, but this was a damper on the beginning of our honeymoon. $20 more and we booked an Air BnB on Fort Myers Beach area, one minute walk to the beach. Fluff towels, comfy comfy beds, quiet inside from the outside noise, and the pictures of the Air BnB were the actual pictures and not a Ai inserted bed in a pic (yes I know there are rooms and then there are lofts available at Latitude, but you can clearly see on pic has an inserted bed that doesn't belong in the picture)(look at the bed I pictured).
This places has such potential, but it wasn't there...
