This year, ditch the stressful and lengthy dinner preparation. Avoid all of the bickering and planning so that you can focus on what really matters: spending time with family and friends. In typical island style, make the relaxing and laidback choice by going out for Thanksgiving dinner! On Marco Island, there is plenty of opportunity to make the most of the Thanksgiving spirit without any of the kitchen clean-up.
Marco Island Marriott Thanksgiving Buffet
Have the ultimate Thanksgiving staycation by getting a room at the Marco Island Marriott. Your family and friends can book adjoining rooms to make sure that all of your time is quality time! After a long day at the beach or relaxing by the pool, you can head over to the Thanksgiving Buffet. The Marco Island Marriott offers all of the traditional holiday favorites (butternut squash soup, candied yams, green bean casserole, stuffing, and more!) with some added island flavor (peel and eat shrimp, oysters, and snow crab claws!).
