Great resort. Clean rooms, easy access to the beach, and very good food by the pool. For the dollars, worth it. Night time desk staff excellent (we arrived at 2AM), house cleaning staff excellent (daily room service was nice). Judeen at the poolside cafe was super nice, the food excellent and a great deal for the island. Daytime desk staff was the only negative. Lots of attitude without the gratitude.

Our room was clean the bed was comfy room key system is awesome. The burger place beside it Let me just say the food and staff are AMAZING. The Mahi Mahi is the best ive ever had. The only thing we didnt like was its an island beach resort and the tiki bar closes at 7pm. 10pm or 11 would be much better for adults.we will be back though. Wonderful experience and we visit sanibel often just was first time staying.

For the large price we did not except the room to not only be dirty especially in the bathroom but also no elevator to upper floors and stairs are not secure. Staff members fighting at pool bar. If you were only pay $100-$150 a night it wouldn’t be bad but for $500 a night we will never return.
