JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort

The property

JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort is the largest property in the Naples and Southwest Florida region, with 726 rooms, twelve restaurants, and two championship courses managed by Marriott Golf. It sits on a stretch of Gulf beachfront on Marco Island's southern shore, roughly forty-five minutes south of downtown Naples. The location is a deliberate trade: proximity to the broader Naples course selection in exchange for a resort that contains most of what a golf trip requires inside its own grounds.

What to expect

Two on-site courses give you multi-day variety without repeating a layout, an advantage shared by only a handful of Florida resorts. The Rookery at Marco is a 7,180-yard Joe Lee design from 1991, redesigned by Robert Cupp Jr in 2003. Hammock Bay is a Peter Jacobsen and Jim Hardy championship layout opened in 2004. Hammock Bay restricts play to guests and members during peak season from November through April. The Paradise by Sirene enclave runs as a 21-and-over section with its own pool, bar, and dedicated service, useful for adult groups who want to skip the family pool decks. Three pools, a waterslide, the spa, and a beach with equipment rental and food service round out the amenity set. Twelve restaurants and bars carry a full week without leaving the property, though Marco Island's Collier Boulevard scene adds further options.

Rates and booking

Peak-season $350 to $700 nightly and off-peak $200 to $400, reflecting the five-star positioning and the island premium. Marriott Bonvoy applies. Best suited to groups willing to pay for consolidation: no daily course commute, no juggling tee times across multiple facilities, no dinner-reservation hunt. Book direct for Bonvoy points or through your preferred travel platform.
