This was my first time in this resort and I was impressed with everything. The grounds were beautiful the location perfect. Bike trails and dining options and shopping. The accommodations were perfect. The room had kitchenette with everything we needed. The view was truly the best and the water just what I remember as a child visiting Sanibel and Captiva. The check in process was seamless. They gave us info about the resort and the area which no other location does. It’s either electronic or using scanner codes. The stag was very friendly and accommodating! The beach guys for our chairs and umbrella were so pleasant and polite! So very rare to see. We ate at tiki bar and that too was excellent. We loved the tranquility and the privacy! Excellent for families or couples. I will definitely be returning to this resort. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Hotel, rooms,pool.tiki bar, and all the free amenities ( bikes kayaks paddle boards) are amazing The beach chairs are also free. The beach is excellent seen a pod of dolphins swimming rite by shore. Found some cool shells but all in all not the shelling we expected. Dantes restaurant is at best 3 stars. No real chef. Frozen fish not fresh. The pizza was ok. The mussels should absolutely b taken off the menu. ( Dante’s is not owned by the resort) if it was I’m sure it would b a lot better. The restaurant itself is an awesome building that’s the best I can say about that. Breakfast was ok at Dante’s but expensive for breakfast

We really enjoyed our stay and plan to return in the future! The room was very clean and well-appointed. Front desk, cabana, tiki bar, and restaurant staff were all extremely friendly and personable. Beautiful grounds. Great pool area. Both the poolside bar and Italian restaurant had excellent food. Plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas available daily on the beach. Pro-tip for venturing off the resort: bikes are available for rent (free), but there aren’t very many places within close walking- or biking-distance, especially with the heat and humidity. Highly recommend renting a car if you’re planning on doing any shopping or adventuring (Blind Pass Beach on Captiva was absolutely amazing and The Bubble Room has excellent food and was fun to visit.)

Die Zimmer wurden ein wenig spät gemacht. Am Pool wurde in allen Ecken Musik von den Gästen abgespielt. Die Liegen wurden am Pool mit den Tüchern belegt und die Gäste wurden Stunden nicht mehr gesehen weil am Strand auch noch liegen zu besetzten waren. Den Rest der Tage war ansonsten wirklich schön und erholsam. Wir würden wieder kommen.
