What travellers are saying
- podrozniczka60New Jersey17 213 contributionsThis outdoor mall offers a satisfying variety of outlet stores and restaurants . The layout is nice and the access is convenient. We visit this mall basically every time we are in Naples and Estero area.Written 17 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RosemountChickPortsmouth, OH806 contributionsThis is a really neat place to visit. If you are into history then I think you’ll find it super Interesting. We visited at 7pm, the park closes at sunset. We were the only ones there and it was nice and cool. No mosquitos either! The ranger station closes at 5:00 so you can just pay from your phone- it costs $5 per vehicle to enter. I recommend doing a little research before you go about the Koreshan utopian community so you kind of get a better understanding of what you’re looking at while you’re there. It’s basically a community where some of the original houses/buildings still remain. You can walk up to each house and look in the glass doors and windows- there is a plaque to read in front of each building to give a backstory. It’s a very natural, beautiful, picturesque area. I think it’s definitely worth the $5 to enter and I recommend it if visiting the area.Written 23 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BATMAN & CATWOMANLong Island, NY4 052 contributionsCoconut Point Mall in Estero, Florida, offers an exceptional outdoor shopping and dining experience. The expansive mall features a diverse collection of retail stores and restaurants, ranging from household names to high-end luxury brands. In addition to the shopping and dining options, the complex is home to a hotel and private condominium residences. If you're in the area, Coconut Point Mall is a must-visit destination that is sure to impress. While parking can be a bit challenging at times, a little patience will ensure you have an enjoyable experience.Written 22 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- William Noel1 contributionWhen I was a resident volunteer at The Happehatchee Center, I got to partake of what still seems to me like the full gamut of experience that they could provide. They opened my mind to what the world has to offer beyond our basic sensory input and showed me more of what life is supposed to be about.
I learned from interactions with others using copper dowsing rods that every person has an "aura" (spiritual term) or perhaps something like an "electro-magnetic field" (semi-scientific term) that they emit. Why are some people's "auras" only 1-2 feet in diameter, yet other people's "auras" might be 10-15 or even more feet in diameter? School never teaches anything about that.
How is it, as it happened to me once, that I can lay on a table and 3-4 Reiki practitioners can work on me, not laying their hands on me but merely waving their hands and wafting air above me, can drastically clean, sharpen, and intensify my energy level, allowing me to perform in Yoga class later that evening with a *much* greater ability to balance and maintain my body than in any of the other (of several dozen) yoga classes I had ever attended. It was literally like I had a superpower that day. How does this happen? Can any empirical endeavor explain this to me and any potential reader?
Why is it that reclining in a room, either an open or closed one, with perhaps a dozen or two dozen other attenders, where 2-3 musical conductors can have a set of crystal singing bowls spread out on a few blankets and play them with the sound-waves from the various bowls building upon each others, with literally, within just a few seconds, put me from a state of regular consciousness to a state of very deep relaxation or near sleep? How does this very short activity that relies on neither touch nor eating nor electronics drastically alter the brainwave activity within me, allowing me to enter a state of extreme relaxation where my body can heal from stress?
How interesting is it that during a kayak trip along the Happehatchee center - just me in a little kayak with gosh-knows-what else in the waters of that river in the hypereutropic subtropical environ - I pass within only a few short feet, quite eerily, an alligator of undetermined size yet with eyeballs still big enough to convince me that I was the prey, sink directly below the surface just as I am passing it in my kayak, building up within me a fear whose genesis was never realized? I discovered that it was more afraid than I am. It probably just wanted to be left alone.
In a world where the Puritan underbelly is manifested as a slave-master whose face is never revealed and convinces us not to conceive of ourselves as enslaved and under the yoke, and some of us are working 50...60...70...80 hours a week to distinguish ourselves as "entrepreneurs" (or just to survive) and we are taught through Instagram that if we don't turn ourselves into multi-millionares that we are shmucks, where so many people whose lives will thus become out-of-balance, struck down with disease, plagued by interpersonal difficulties that we can't understand and are "never our fault" (if never our fault, then whose?), we desperately need places and communities that bring us back to the basics - of nature, of understanding that there is more to life than what we can buy in a mall or achieve on the sports field or accomplish at a 9-5 or that we can read from a textbook, or that an entrancing but ultimately brain-damaging "blue-light" emitted from our computer screen or smart-phone hypnotizes us away from the higher energies of life.
Going to places like The Happehatchee Center should be a chapter in life for all people on this earth. It is a leap into for what many people is the unknown, and, sadly, for many other people, will always be the unknown.
Jump in. The water is churning. Jump up, the air is a gale.
And there are lifeguards there to teach you both how to swim, and how to fly.Written 9 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It houses an array of local artists with a wide assortment of paintings, fused glass, sculpture, jewelry and much more. What a great way to remember a trip, than to pick up a gift from this unique venue, while supporting the local economy as well! I feel that the prices are very reasonable here as well, with the quality of artwork is fabulous. Make a stop if you're in the area looking for a gift or something to beautify your own home!Written 9 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Linda MNaples, FL226 contributionsThis market is so convenient to East Estero. The selection of fresh SWFL produce is exemplary of what this area grows (massive tomatoes and peppers, huge variety of tropical fruits). Don't miss Homemade tamales, French Bakery, healthy juices, and lemonade, arts, crafts, herbal pain and sleep relief, local photography and art, handcrafted skincare and jewelry. Every vendor is amazing.Written 8 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LwlittrellFort Myers Beach, FL215 contributionsThis would be such a cool place if more signage to know how to get there was available! Also, along the trails, maybe more signage and explanations as to what you are walking on! We knew because we had been to the mound house and so we understood how the mounds got there, but most people would be underwhelmed if they didn’t understand along the way, especially the highest points, what that meant in terms of effort by the natives to build these areas up and what they were probably used for. The few signs at the beginning are nice but it would be great if they could expand on it by adding signage along the way! Saw some pretty plants....and be careful of he cactus!!!!!Written 11 April 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- fredly59Fort Myers, FL29 contributionsThe nice guy in the pro shop was overheard telling the group in front of me what group shape the course was in--best ever! Fantastic greenskeeper! etc. Just not true. The greens had just been verticut and sanded so he definitely should have said that. Otherwise, the course was just a little ragged. Sand traps not getting much attention. Some fairways struggling with weeds. Chipping area a disaster. Now, that being said, the course is very SW Fla and scenic. Lakes, pines, and palmettos aplenty. The course is very difficult and the employees all know its reputation and play it down. "Make sure you pick the right tee" means pick a shorter tee than you might usually play. "Yeah, there are a lot a 3-putts" is a truism because the greens are often ridiculously contoured. Expect to shoot 4-6 shots worse than you might normally play. It's that kind of course and one would expect a better experience for almost $200 during high season.Written 18 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Murph18 contributionsI think that this park is functional because there is really nothing terribly wrong. It is just average. Nothing really great to talk about. If you want somewhere for your dog to run free, this is a good place.Written 9 May 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
