Before you book
Plan your stay
Everything that decides whether The Glades fits your rig, your dates and your budget, in one place.
Our take: a big, busy resort with more to do than almost anywhere around the lake: golf, a marina, pickleball, two restaurants and a heated pool, all on a pretty stretch of the Caloosahatchee. The catch is that rates aren’t published and the office is closed on weekends, so call ahead for prices and plan a weekday arrival.
