SUNSTREAM HOTELS & RESORTS:
A Resort Collection That Nurtures Romance

(FORT MYERS BEACH, FL) – Love blossoms like the local passion-red hibiscus as couples stroll hand-in-hand down the beach, paddle a double kayak, sip champagne from their balcony at sunset, or bubble up together in the in-suite Jacuzzi. SunStream Hotels & Resorts’ collection of distinctive properties fulfills romantic fantasy throughout made-for-lovers Southwest Florida.

Each property, as individual as a kiss, brings its own gifts to a relationship, whether it’s a courtship, honeymoon, or long, loving attachment. Couples can pick their style: beachside and barefoot or nautical and nice in Fort Myers Beach, city smart and Tuscan or neighborly-cozy and tropically lush in Naples and haute couture marina-style in Cape Coral. No matter the choice, guests are never more than 10 minutes away from the sweet beckon of gentle Gulf of Mexico breakers and the warmth of sun-toasted sand.

BELLASERA HOTEL, Naples. Bellasera, Italian for “beautiful evening,” transplants the spirit and style of Tuscany to Naples’ fashionable and lively Fifth Avenue South district. The intimate Four-Diamond property romances couples the minute they enter the polished wood lobby with its dramatic sweeping staircase. Fine dining at Zizi Restaurant and weekend jazz in the lounge continue the seduction. In the cozy studio suites, Jacuzzi tubs with plantation shutters allow couples to watch TV from their bubble bath. Bellasera features studio and bedroom suites with screened porches and balconies that overlook the flowery courtyard – a picture-perfect wedding setting. At its center, couples chill in the colorfully tiled swimming pool with cascading waterfalls, a whirlpool, private sultan cabanas, and food and drink attendants. A complimentary shuttle delivers guests the short distance to Naples’ long sweep of white-sand beach, named “America’s Best All-Around Beach” by The Travel Channel.

PARK SHORE RESORT, Naples. Those who prefer to remove themselves deliciously from downtown’s spotlight welcome the neighborhood feel and tropical island appeal at tucked-away Park Shore Resort. They can stroll cobblestone paths around gardens, a lake, an island, and waterfalls or keep active on the tennis, racquetball, and volleyball courts. Water-lovers take to the oversized pool or hop aboard a free shuttle to the beach. Lunchtime is Bahamian-style at The Island Pub. Fine restaurants are minutes away in the town’s famed upscale shopping centers. At home in their bedroom suite, romantic twosomes can whip up dinner together then cuddle up to watch free HBO.

GULLWING BEACH RESORT and POINTE ESTERO BEACH RESORT, Fort Myers Beach. These side-by-side resorts reside on Fort Myers Beach’s quiet, secluded south end, where the beach spreads wide and soft like a luxurious down comforter. Bedroom suites with generous Jacuzzi tubs and full kitchen facilities mean the love-struck never have to leave their room, if that’s what they desire. For the out-and-about couple, Fort Myers Beach offers everything from waverunner rentals and parasailing to seafood restaurants and a let-loose nightlife scene. For betrothed couples, our event planners can help arrange intimate weddings distinctively beach-style.

DIAMONDHEAD BEACH RESORT, Fort Myers Beach. Fun-loving couples like the action at Fort Myers Beach’s north end, near the dynamic Times Square entertainment district. DiamondHead rises just far enough removed from the action for couples to steal away once the day’s play in the sun and night’s play in the beach bars has brought the evening to a romantic close. Dinner at casually refined Chloës Restaurant means a view of the Gulf of Mexico and the fresh shrimp and seafood brought in by local fleets. DiamondHead Ballroom and Terrace make memorable settings for weddings up to 400 guests. Through Dec. 25, 2009, DiamondHead offers a two-night Weekend Castaways package just for couples, including a welcome bottle of champagne, beach towels, beach bag and a $25 food credit voucher for Chloës Restaurant or Cabañas Beach Bar & Grill.

THE RESORT AT MARINAVILLAGE, Cape Coral. Opening November 2009, a new level of luxury is soon to debut in Cape Coral with the opening of The Resort at MarinaVillage, and this quiet boating community may never be the same. Standing 19 stories tall and featuring sweeping views of the Caloosahatchee River, San Carlos Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, this resplendent full-service condominium resort will offer luxurious, upscale accommodations and all the amenities of beautiful Tarpon Point Marina, waterfront dining, spa, shopping, and clean deep-water marina. In a sanctuary-like setting, this resort is ideal for a luxurious romantic getaway.
