Cape Coral Resort to Open November 1
Construction is nearing completion at The Resort at MarinaVillage at Tarpon Point Marina.
The $150-million dollar project is Cape Coral’s first waterfront resort. The Shops at MarinaVillage and the adjacent six-story parking garage are also almost complete.
MarinaVillage will be a commercial, residential and retail center within Tarpon Point Marina that will be open to the public. Pavilions situated along a waterfront promenade will offer boutiques and retail outlets, a day spa and fitness center. Restaurant plans include two casual restaurants, Marker 92 and the Nauti Mermaid. Both will feature marina views, a full bar and award-winning cuisine.
The Resort at MarinaVillage will be managed by Fort Myers Beach-based SunStream Hotels & Resorts. About 1,000 people came out to a job fair SunStream held at the resort on Thursday, and another fair was scheduled for Saturday. Sunstream was taking applications for more than 100 management and entry-level positions, ranging from sales and catering and food and beverage to guest services and housekeeping.
The resort at MarinaVillage features fully furnished, two- and three-bedroom residence-style rooms ranging in size from 1,235 to 2,195 square feet.
Resort guests will be able to use all the amenities of Tarpon Point Marina, plus concierge and spa services, room service, housekeeping and access to a resort-style pool, spa and deck.
