Hotels in Southwest Florida, United States

Southwest Florida lies along the Gulf of Mexico, with a subtropical climate that keeps winters mild (70s°F / 20s°C) and summers hot and humid (90s°F / 30s°C). It's famous for its shell-covered beaches on Sanibel Island and the vast Everglades right next door. During peak winter months (December-April), you can hunt for rare seashells at Bowman's Beach or kayak through mangrove tunnels in the Ten Thousand Islands, while summer afternoons bring frequent rain that's perfect for spotting alligators on an airboat tour at Everglades National Park - plus hotel rates drop significantly.
