I like the boring-ness of Marco Island for kids of the ages of OP's kids.

That JW Marriot sells out quickly though, especially for holidays and popular weeks.

The Ritz Naples Tiburon is fantastic - has a lazy river and water slides and you can use the beach/facilities at the more expensive Ritz Naples.

I think they had one in house restaurant but it’s not a big resort. The pool was nice and it has a fun slide.

Right around there down the beach is the Amrit which I think is pretty new. Stayed there two nights and really enjoyed it. We were there to visit family so didn’t take advantage of everything on site, but the spa was really nice.

$1500 a night

Oof, we paid about 500.

Nothing nice is $500 a night on peak travel days anymore.

Boca club has a lot to offer but it isn’t exclusive or true luxury. There are large conventions there and people wearing MAGA hats by the pool.

I’ve been to many resorts in Florida and wasn’t that impressed. I didn’t dislike it but it also didn’t wow me.

If you need your resorts with only your political affiliation IN FLORIDA, that's going to be a pretty tough find

That’s a really nice property. We never stayed but visited restaurants there a few times when my parents spent winters in Naples.

It flooded badly a couple months ago. Check to see if it has been repaired.

We liked Singer Island Marriott when our oldest was a toddler. Also stayed at a Marriott Vacation Club in Marco Island once we had two young kids. It was nice, but not full service so we were going to the grocery store a lot. The two rooms were needed at the time so we could put them to bed early. But the beach there was like a graveyard, so it felt like our kids were so loud in comparison to others out there. I think it was mid May so not spring break — lots of old people. I am sure it’s different at spring break.

30a where Watercolor Inn is will not be reliably warm in February.

Other friends love Cheeca Lodge in the keys.
