Marco Beach Ocean Suites

About The Hotel

Marco Beach Ocean Suites is a 4.4-rated (1,963 reviews) all-suite alternative to the JW Marriott at 480 South Collier Blvd — one block up the beach on Marco Island’s south end. Every unit is a suite with a private balcony and Gulf view, at roughly half the JW’s nightly rate ($190-$267 vs $591-$664). Amenities include valet parking, a pool, bar/lounge, private beach access, fitness center, business center and conference facilities. Subratings run notably strong across the board: 4.7 cleanliness, 4.7 location, 4.5 rooms, 4.6 service, 4.5 sleep quality, 4.2 value across 1,963 reviews — a stronger subrating profile than the JW at less than half the price. Recent 5-stars praise the sunset views from the balcony, private beach access, well-kept hallways, and the quiet couples-and-small-group energy. A smaller-scale Gulf-suite alternative to the JW resort experience — the marquee is the private balcony sunset view. Not an in-room jacuzzi property.

What Guests Are Saying

“My husband and I stayed here with a group of friends for a long weekend and had an amazing time. The property is very nicely kept and the hallways always smelled amazing. The amenities are nice and the private beach is just perfect. Lazaro and the front desk staff were very nice, friendly and helpful with restaurant recommendations. The guys in valet were amazing as well. We would have liked to try the restaurant but it was closed over the summer. The apartments are very comfortable and have everything you need for the beach including chairs, towels, umbrella, insulated bag for drinks/food. The kitchen is also stocked with everything needed for cooking small meals and preparing snacks. We will definitely come back. The only thing we found annoying is the multiple calls from the nearby vacation clubs to try to get you to buy a timeshare or vacation clubs membership. Beware of these calls after booking and during your stay. They may call your room or cell phone.” — Charity A., 5 stars
