Look at the Marinemax marina, especially the mango lined slips in the approach to the travel lift.
A little bit more information on what you are seeking might help. Is this for a few days, a few weeks or long term? I am currently docked at the City of Ft. Myers Yacht Basin. CFMYB has in slip pump out. It does not have a pool. For resturants, the River District of the city is a few blocks away. Next door is Legacy Marina.
Here at CFMYB, the docks are fixed concrete. There is a breakwater around the east side and north facing the river. Basic Florida afternoon thunderstorms are fine. A hurricane I would want to move up river.
Take a look at Harbour at Cape Coral. No in slip pump out, but freshwater slip, nice boat basin, wind blockage from tall condos, and some nice restaurants in the complex. Should be pretty safe till the cat 5 direct hit.

My boat is in Cape Harbour. It is not only pretty safe behind the lock, there are miles of mangroves between there and the open sea, so hurricane surge has very low likelihood of getting back there. The bars/ restaurants are very nice, and the pool is easy. I don't like that the shower room is not air conditioned, and the docks are getting old but are set for a major overall. For another high-end location like Cape Harbour, I'd also recommend Tarpon Point. It's literally 500 yards from Cape Harbour, and while not behind the lock, is also very well protected. It has a very nice Westin hotel and much better pool and showering facilities. I'm actually moving the boat there on January 2nd. I'd be happy to talk more about advantages/ disadvantages of either place. Oh, it takes me exactly 40 minutes to the airport, and I also live in Atlanta. I'm pretty sure I've seen Miller Time out on the lake. We have a house in Young Deer creek and a 24' Cobalt up there.

I stayed at Legacy Harbor for a few months back in 2011. It's located right next to the city marina. I think it's a bit more pricey than the city marina. My wife wanted floating docks which they have. It's also right next to Joe's Crab Shack.
