Picture this… you are sitting by the beach, toes in the smooth, white sand, admiring how the waves roll repeatedly, as you seize the most beautiful sunset. The skies begin to change color; you see hues of orange, red, yellow. Finally, you capture the PERFECT sunset picture. As a family, we travel to Marco Island every summer for our family trip. Those Gulf coast sunsets are simply breathtaking.
Paradise
Summer after summer, we always agree on staying at the JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort. It is definitely our GO-TO! Its rooms and suites capture awe-inspiring Gulf views, each with a private balcony. This beach resort is located along three miles of private beaches. That is a PLUS! We love the privacy the resort offers to its guests. Along with the amazing beaches, the resort also provides chairs, towels, and umbrellas for its guests to enjoy the beach. You can also request a cabana!
Perfect Day
We truly take advantage of a perfect beach day at Marco Island. Kids playing in the sand, Mom and Dad ordering food and drinks from the waiter. Yes! You read correctly! We have the convenience of enjoying the beach while being provided with casual dining from the resort’s Quinn’s on the Beach restaurant. Talk about relaxation at its finest! (In the mood for more upscale dining? Do not frazzle! The resort has TWELVE restaurants to dine in, plus room service!)
Along with delicious food, breathtaking beaches, and sunsets, JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort also offers two golf courses, fitness classes, and family activities. Sports and fitness are a must to burn those extra calories gained while eating that mouth-watering burger you just devoured by the beach! Yum!
Additionally, let us not forget the hotel’s spa! The spa at JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort offers exquisite services and massages to help you recharge! I am currently picturing myself unwinding, cucumbers on my eyes, feeling tender hands massage my shoulders. How awesome would a spa day be after enjoying some time at the beach? This is paradise!
Let’s Go: Shop or Dine? Or, Both?
Right across the resort, at walking distance, you will find Marco Walk Plaza. This plaza has many gift shops filled with Marco Island souvenirs, salons, spas, an ice cream shop, and lovely restaurants. It is tourists’ favorite spot in town! It is definitely ours! Check it out!

Creating Memories: Family Fun at Marco Island
Every year, we create beautiful memories at Marco Island. We love the Gulf Coast beach.
