Olde Marco Island Inn and Suites

Since the 1870s and pioneer Bill Collier, this location has fed and boarded pilgrims to this part of the world. Back in Collier's day, he advertised rooms for $1 a night, bring your own meat. Today the rooms have moved out of the old inn and into a new extension with spacious, modern suites. It is part of a complex that enfolds three restaurants - the main Bistro Soleil occupies the old inn. The other two dwell among the complex's shops and parking ramps. Since there is no beach on property, the resort makes arrangements to transport guests by boat to a nearby unbridged island known for its superb shelling.
