JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort

The biggest resort on Marco Island, which grew in 2019 with a new adult wing and 94 more rooms, also happens to be its best in many ways. It spans a long spread of wide, sugar-sand beach. It has the best swimming pool features, the most full-service spa, some of the island's best shops, a full range of water sports options and great dining. It also offers two off-site golf courses. The new wing also added a video game experience and bar known as 10K Alley, Tesoro restaurant and terrace lounge, and an adults-only rooftop pool. Guests feel the glam the minute they walk into the marble lobby with its sweeping staircases down to the pool and beach level. (Guests staying in the adult wing have their own concierge entry.) Families enjoy the slide pool, a pizza parlor, a game room with table tennis and a remarkable kids' program.
