| Marco Island or West Palm Beach, Fl?? I'm debating between the two places to visit for my Spring Break... either the Marco Island Marriott or the Hilton in West Palm Beach. Anyone been to either or both? Anything you can tell me about either place? Any info would be great! I'm not a big fan of the traditional spring break- so no worries about either place lacking that scene.

| I've never been to Marco but I lived in West Palm for 7 years and miss it so much. If you decide to go there, feel free to ask any questions. I had a friend who vacationed in Marco Island every summer and she loved it (of course she lived in W. Palm).

I love South Beach and Lincoln Road and Ocean Drive but don't wanna go there as I'm worried it'll be to "spring break."

| I love both and have been to both but in my opinion they are both very different. Marco is way more relaxed and quiet and West Palm is more happening. What are you looking for?

| Than I would pick Marco Island....although West Palm has that too but also has great clubs which is what I went for the time I went. Both are very dog friendly - are you taking your babies with you?

| If you like the beach definitely Marco Island, if you like to go to the nice stores for shopping then West Palm Beach

| Fabulous shopping and dining in West Palm. City Place has tons of fun shopping and dining. Very dog friendly too if the girls are tagging along. My favorite restaurant ever is just a bit south in Delray Beach but there are tons of great places in W. Palm and just cross the bridge for world class shopping and dining in Palm Beach.

| I live in Cape Coral/Ft. Myers, which is a short drive from Marco Island. Although I haven't been to WPB, I think it is more relaxed and laid back here. Marco, Captiva and Sanibel Islands are all very pretty. Everything has been completely rebuilt after Hurricane Charlie. I think a lot of people rent bikes on the island to get around. You can also rent a car and go to Fort Myers Beach, Lovers Key, and Naples. There is a small outlet mall right off Sanibel Island and there is also Miromar Outlet Mall in Estero. Of course, since I live here, I would rather go to SoBe, Miami, Ft. Lauderdale but thats just my personal preference. Oh here is a picture on Marco taken this past April....what I call a view of paradise

Ft. Lauderdale was another option but I'm worried about it being to "Spring Break." Such a hard decision! I honestly wasn't expecting for someone people to be familiar with both places!!
