Which airport should I use?
Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) is the closest major airport serving the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa and typically gives the most nonstop flight options.
Smaller regional airports include Naples Municipal (APF) and Punta Gorda (PGD). Miami (MIA) and Fort Lauderdale (FLL) are farther away (roughly a two‑hour trip or a little over), so they are viable only if you need specific flights or lower fares.
- RSW (Fort Myers): closest major airport; most nonstop flights.
- APF (Naples): small regional airport — fewer flights.
- PGD (Punta Gorda): served by some low‑cost carriers; farther by road/time.
- MIA/FLL: long transfer (about two hours+) — use only if necessary.

|---|---|
| RSW (Southwest Florida Int’l) | Best option for most travelers |

| PGD (Punta Gorda) | Budget/limited flights; longer ground time |
