I hope you will report your experiences. You are so early on the opening curve. If you have favorites not on this report, please call and ask what they do. I believe there are MANY more places doing service here. We've found we can get whatever we want.

We used to like the Sandbar and the little place near Snook Inn with fresh seafood.

Yes, I suspect your favorites are doing something. I hope you call them and do what you can. Not exactly back to normal, but you can get some of your favorites now, and hopefully have a great experience, all things considered. For example, Margaritas. Great Mexican. I know they are open, just not on the list. We are getting delivery this week!

Where is margaritas? We just got switched to charter club

Town Center Mall, Collier and Bald Eagle, by the Publix. Marco Brewery and Crazy Flamingo are in that mall, too - very popular.

I just went through my freezer. What I need to do, cook some of the food I have!

My wife just said "how about we get a delivery from Margarita's tonight?"

I was out and about today,. Quite surprised how many places are OPEN, but with limited service. I went to the pool place for more chlorine. They were only open M-F, curbside, no in-store. Good for ME I don't have to drag the bottles from the store to my car! It seems most restaurants are open, but mostly curbside pick-up , or delivery. I see places are planning on opening indoor dining by removing tables to keep people spread out. Something about a phase 1 25% occupancy. One of my favorites is the Snook Inn. They are open, but my favorite salad bar in the world is closed! I feel like I can get anything I want. (Except that salad bar!)

I will be at the Charter Club the last week of May. I'm wondering about fishing charters. I wouldn't expect a large boat with multiple guests but I would like to book a solo trip with just me and a guide. Are they up and running yet?

 

[buzglyd]

Just got the warning letter from Charter Club. Lots of construction and potentially need to be out of the unit by 8 and return at 5. Or stay in unit all day. Noise as well. We're still going! I'll deal with it.

No big party boats here - all 6 pack captains. Everyone is pretty much back in business, but the large Dinner Cruise boat has limited capacity. If you're on facebook, search the Marco Review and read up on the charter boats. You'll have to decide if you want back water, near shore, off shore, etc.

It looks like May is a pretty good fishing month. I was fishing 30 miles offshore in Tarpon Springs in January and caught five nice GAG grouper but we had to throw them all back. I think I could eat one in May. If my wife comes along, it will have to be near shore or back water. She’s not a deep sea fan.

It usually depends on what species you are after, what kind of water you want to be in, and how fancy a boat you want, not just for fishing, but creature comfort (NOT ALL THESE BOATS HAVE HEADS!) As I said, seek out the Marco Review and do your homework. My favorite place to start is Sunshine Tours at the Rose Marina. They offer quite a variety, and score some nice catches that they post on Facebook.

I am getting tempted. Told my other half, Marco Island is opened, we can go. He looked at me like I was nuts and said sarcastically sure.

 

[Sea Six]

Indoor restaurants are limited to 25% occupancy, so when you walk in you think "Where are all the tables?" But, most of the places are now OPEN! Like the Rolling Stones said, you can't always get what you want, but you can get what you NEED!

 

[Sea Six]

As I drive around, Marco Island appears to be 75% open. You just have to know what is and what isn't. Doesn't take long.

I am really upset. Got the letter that there will be drilling with jackhammers from eight to five every day. consider skippingbth3vtrip. Nothing else available

Why don’t you call the resort and ask them if a sister resort has a unit available for you? Long shot but worth a try.

I got the letter also. Interesting it went out two weeks before the trip.

We’re going anyway. I’ll deal with it. I’ll spend most days in or on the water.

They told me to call rci and ask. Rci said nothing available to them

 

[Talent312]

I'd cancel. It'd totally ruin a vacation for me.
Almost as bad as a timeshare presentation.

With all those HGVC resorts practically right next to each other, it would be nice if Hilton could work something out for you. Look at Panina - she owns half of them!
