Progreso de la construcción de septiembre en Margaritaville Fort Myers Beach: más colores y señales

Author Joe Winner

September 18th 4:57 PM

¡La gran noticia para Margaritaville Fort Myers Beach, Florida, llegó con el reciente anuncio de que las reservaciones están abiertas ! Así es, ahora puedes reservar tus vacaciones en Margaritaville para reservas a partir del 1 de febrero. El hotel va muy bien y con este último vídeo de Brian Kennedy , realmente notarás algunos de los trabajos finales que se están realizando en el nuevo hotel aquí en Florida.

Ayer pasé un tiempo en la isla de Fort Myers Beach y todavía hay mucho por hacer. Es muy extraño ver algunas áreas que parecen completamente renovadas, mientras que otras aparentemente no han sido afectadas por el huracán de hace poco más de un año. Pero ese es el camino. Realmente espero que el impulso económico de tener Margaritaville abierta el próximo año también genere el dinero necesario para hacer realidad el resto de la playa. Para nosotros, los veteranos, Fort Myers Beach nunca volverá a ser el mismo. Eso es algo a lo que tendremos que acostumbrarnos. Pero como verá, la construcción en Margaritaville realmente está avanzando.

Además de mucha pintura nueva, hay carteles en el restaurante frente a la playa. Esto puede parecer pequeño para algunos, pero para aquellos de nosotros que sabemos lo difíciles que pueden ser los permisos de señalización en el suroeste de Florida, sabemos que es un gran problema.

La piscina parece casi lista para su revestimiento, mientras que el edificio al lado parece casi completo. Al menos por fuera. También llega la terraza Sunset. Realmente estamos empezando a ver hacia dónde van a ir las cosas.

La playa de Margaritaville Fort Myers se ve increíble.

A menos que haya nuevas tormentas (con los dedos cruzados), deberían poder realizar la apertura del 1 de febrero. Sé que ahora se está trabajando mucho en el interior. Cada habitación necesita recibir esa atención especial.

QEPD Jimmy. Lamento mucho que no estés aquí con nosotros en persona. Pero definitivamente estarás aquí en espíritu.

Sizzle Dining stop on Sanibel Island

• Cielo On Sanibel Island

  Share

  Water from Hurricane Ian caused some damage to Cielo on Sanibel Island, however, the restaurant was among the first on the island to reopen. It is on Periwinkle, not far from the island's entrance. It looks great inside.

• Cielo’s Dining Room

  Share

  The dining room in Cielo is island chic. It's bright but sophisticated with live piano music that is just the right level. It adds great ambiance to the dining experience. I love the wine wall here.

• What She’s Having

  Share

  This is a popular cocktail that uses sage infused vodka, Lychee Rose Cordial, and Prosecco. It is super refreshing and awakens the palate pre-dinner. It really is named What She's Having. Yes...I'll have she's having for sure.
• One For Mary Jo

  Share

  This signature cocktail is a riff on the traditional Cosmo. It has house infused Citron Vodka, Peach Liqueur, White Cranberry Juice, Fresh Lemon. It's not pink, it's not sweet, it is just right.

• Calamari Fritti

  Share

  A popular appetizer, we chose this as one of our starters. The calamari pieces were so tender. They were tossed in Sweet Chili Aioli, them sprinkled with Cashews, and drizzled with Mango Coulis

• 12 Month Aged Manchego

  Share

  This is a filling appetizer and it's so good. Three triangles of the tasty cheese are lightly fried until both crunchy and gooey, then placed on a chutney made with Mission Fig, Cranberry and Orange. Portions are nice and big.
• Which Wine

  Share

  Cielo has wine on tap as well as by the glass and bottle. Gina Birch sips and smells as she tries to decide between two.

• Grilled Shrimp and Seared Scallops

  Share

  This was one of the options on the entrée list. It is a rich English Pea and Mint Risotto with Baby Heirloom Tomatoes and a nice sprinkle of Micro Basil. The shrimp and scallops were cooked to perfection.

• Grilled 12oz Demkota Ribeye

  Share

  This was our second entrée. We shard both to create our own surf-n-turf dish. Because of the cut of steak, this one had a $10 additional charge but it was worth it. It was served with whipped potatoes, vegetables and a savory merlot demi-glace.
• Rutherford

  Share

  Rutherford the Frog used to be outside, greeting customers at Cielo. Now he has a spot inside the front door. Yes, he survived Hurricane Ian.

• Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

  Share

  This is one of the desserts we chose and it was superb. A Ginger Spiced Pineapple Cake with Caramelized Pineapple and Cherry. It was served with a small shot of Warm with Vanilla and Bourbon Caramel Sauce for us to pour on top, if we so desired. We desired.

• Pineapple Upside-Down Cake

  Share

  Ooooo, here we are pouring the warm Vanilla and Bourbon Caramel Sauce on top of the Ginger Spiced Pineapple Cake with Caramelized Pineapple and Cherry. It was a great ending to the meal, sweet but not too heavy.
• Vanilla Creme Brulee

  Share

  This is a classic dessert and it was a big portion. The caramelized top was nice and thick. The Caramelized Vanilla Bean Custard was the perfect temperature. It was served with Fresh Berries and a Brown Butter Tuille....mmmmmm

• Hide The Keys

  Share

  Gina Birch and Guy Clarke attempt to break into the wine wall at Cielo on Sanibel Island. They have an extensive collection of wine stored in this cellar that separates the bar from the dining room. Guy is the founder of Sizzle.

• Hanging out at Cielo

  Share

  Gina Birch had a chance meeting with the Sizzle Dining staff at Cielo on Sanibel. The group is supporting the restaurants that are on board for the annual fund raiser.
• New Heart Sculpture

  Share

  This new sculpture welcomes patrons to Cielo. It was made by local artist Lacy McClary and its description plate reads "Sanibel Strong, Our Beat Goes On!"
