'This Southwest Florida paradise sits on three miles of pristine Crescent Beach, where loggerhead sea turtles nest annually and dolphins play in the surf just steps from your balcony.'
What's Special?
Marco Island is the largest and only developed island in Florida's Ten Thousand Islands region. The JW Marriott is built on what was once a Calusa Indian settlement dating back over 2,000 years, and the resort's beachfront consistently ranks among America's top beaches. The property features the only championship golf course on Marco Island and sits within minutes of the entrance to Everglades National Park.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book a sunset dolphin cruise from the resort's marina - Marco Island's waters have one of the highest dolphin populations in Florida, and the golden hour views of the Gulf are absolutely magical.

Time your visit during turtle nesting season (May-October) for unforgettable nighttime turtle walks right on the resort's beach.
