Making the Most of a Beach Trip to Florida

Marco Island Marriott

If there is one thing that Florida is famous for, it is the wonderful beaches that can be found along the coastal areas of the state, and in truth there are few that can match the magnificent white sand beaches of Marco Island.

This beautiful coastal city lies on the edge of the Everglades and is a great place to relax and let the worries of the world disappear.

You can enjoy great sporting activities on and around the beach, while staying at one of the best hotels in the Sunshine state!

An Introduction to Marco Island

On the Southwest Gulf Coast, Marco Island is the largest barrier island in the Ten Thousand Islands area, and the closest real city is Naples, which lies just to the north of the island.

This lovely part of the state has been a popular tourist area since the 1960’s, after the island went through a great redevelopment period.

The island is accessible by bridge, meaning it is ideal for those who are looking to drive to the location from elsewhere in Florida, while it is served by the two small airports in Naples and on Marco Island, with a larger regional airport in Fort Lauderdale.

The Marco Island Marriott Resort

This beachfront property is the best hotel on the island if you are looking to create some special memories during your visit, while being provided with the wonderful comforts of home, newly renovated rooms, and spectacular views.

The Marco Island Marriott Resort has two lovely swimming pools and an amazing spa that has over the top treatments to help in your relaxation, as well as sunbeds and umbrellas on the beach for the guests to enjoy.

What to Do in Marco Island

Swimming in the calm waters and luxurious pools is a popular activity for those with an active lifestyle. The San Marco Marriott Resort has two championship golf courses if that is your sport, along with a fitness center if you need to work out, and plenty of sailing opportunities nearby too.

If you are a food lover then there are plenty of options available, including the superb Korals sushi restaurant which offers great sushi and a range of cocktails, all overlooking the beautiful beach and Gulf waters.

When it comes to visiting the area, there is a lot more to do once you are finished unwinding on the beach!

Health and Well-being Benefits of Your Trip

Taking a vacation to the Marco Island Marriott resort allows you to relax without worrying about the pressures of everyday life. The beautiful and serene surroundings make switching off your cell phone and forgetting about everything easy.

For those with an active lifestyle or looking to de-stress even more, you can enjoy the benefits of a training session with one of the personal trainers or enjoy the outdoor sports located in the area.

Make the Most of the Trip with Marriott’s Celebrate Summer Promotion

Planning your trip to Marco Island this summer has become much easier, with the Celebrate Summer Event offering real benefits to those staying at the resort, and making budgeting for the trip much easier.

For each day you stay at the resort, Marriott.com will give you up to $100 in resort credits which mean you can make the most of the golf courses, try some of the great food or simply pamper yourself with a treatment in the indulgent spa. The Celebrate Summer Event has participating Marriott hotels nationwide and ends on September 7th, 2015.

Whether you are coming for the beautiful beaches or the wonderful attractions of the resort, you can make the most of your trip!

Squad Lead reviewed my first submission. Feedback was specific and actually useful — not generic. Already know exactly what to fix for Week 2. This is the mentorship I couldn't find anywhere else.

Applied to 50+ jobs last year. Zero responses. Joined the Sprint 4 weeks ago. Now I have 2 paid deliverables, a blockchain credential, and a second project offer. The CV is dead. Proof is everything.
