Personal Opinion

I have visited Marco Island in the past. It is a beautiful island that is full of nature and wonderful, kind people. My family and I stayed at the Hilton hotel and it was absolutely beautiful! We did some shopping which was fun and we went to a movie being that it rained a few days. We also went on an airboat tour and wildlife tour. We saw dolphins, alligators, manatees, and so much more. I would definitely go back and tour this island even more!
