If your clients are seeking refreshed beachfront properties in Florida to relax and unwind this summer, these top-to-bottom renovations at two Marriott properties—Fort Myers and Pompano Beach—offer upgraded guestrooms, refreshed amenities, new dining and spa experiences and elevated comfort and style.
Marriott Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa
Following a $35 million renovation, the Marriott Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa has emerged as a reimagined coastal hotel property, overlooking Sanibel and Captiva Islands in Fort Myers’ Punta Rassa area.
Set on 85 waterfront acres, the resort now boasts the largest spa in Southwest Florida at 40,000 square feet. The spa features 28 treatment rooms, numerous spa treatments, co-ed spa experiences, a private bridal suite and skin care product lines. Guests can also unwind at the new Spa Bistro, co-ed steam room and indoor co-ed pool.
A Destination for Active Travelers
The resort’s wellness complex includes a 5,500-square-foot fitness center with 24-hour access, a 2,000-square-foot fitness studio offering a range of wellness and group classes, three Har-Tru clay tennis courts and eight brand-new pickleball courts and a basketball court.
All 278 guestrooms and 69 suites, including three Elite Suites and two Presidential Parlors, have been fully renovated. Inspired by the Gulf’s natural beauty, rooms now feature new decor and updated interiors, from tiled entryways and showers to new carpets and headboards.
All six on-site restaurants have also been refreshed, offering a variety of dining options ranging from classic steakhouse cuisine to tropical cocktails by the cabana. Notably, Courtside Steakhouse was named an OpenTable 2023 Diner’s Choice Award winner.

Fort Lauderdale Marriott Pompano Beach Resort
The Fort Lauderdale Marriott Pompano Beach Resort will officially reopen on July 2 following a multi-million-dollar renovation. Situated just steps from the beach, the revitalized resort now features 100 newly redesigned guestrooms in its North Tower—including 16 spacious suites—with the remaining 119 rooms in the South Tower set to debut in late 2025.
Each room offers a private balcony, pillowtop bedding, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges and spa-inspired marble bathrooms stocked with premium bath amenities. Premium suites elevate the experience with wrap-around oceanfront balconies, generous living and dining areas and a choice of King or Double Queen beds.
At the heart of the renovation is a new 3,000-square-foot resort-style pool, complemented by private cabanas, an oversized oceanview hot tub and three firepit lounges. A refreshed beach experience offers complimentary chairs and umbrellas with food and beverage service from the resort’s revamped Tiki Bar.
The resort now welcomes two distinctive culinary venues:
-
The Kester – A refined restaurant named after local pioneer William L. Kester. Chef Jerry Ayala presents dishes such as pappardelle with short rib and smoked gremolata, citrus-flamed local whole fish and grass-fed tenderloin with Au Poivre sauce.
-
The Citrus Club – A laid-back, all-day cafe serving juices, spritzes and pool-friendly bites like watermelon feta salad and street fish tacos. Locals can look forward to exclusive membership perks and programming launching soon.
-
Coffee enthusiasts will appreciate the addition of Foxtail Coffee Co., the popular Florida-based roaster known for ethically sourced brews, specialty espresso drinks, and premium teas.
The Fort Lauderdale Marriott Pompano Beach Resort is conveniently located 30 minutes from both Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and Boca Raton, and walking distance to Pompano Beach’s pier and downtown.
