What a delightful stay! Accommodations were way better than I expected in our suite. The little kitchen area was supplied with everything needed including paper towels, dish towels, utensils, keurig, toaster, etc. Furnishings were beautiful. Loved the large bathroom with soaking tub and shower. Everything was very clean however the floors could have been cleaned better. Trash left under bathroom vanity, floors need mopping. I would LOVE to stay here agin in the future and will tell all my friends to stay here.

The property was overall nice , however not worthy of 400 a night . There was nothing special , no coffee bar in am , small Keurig with powder creamer , nothing upscale to be worthy of resort status. The meals were good ,expensive but good tasting . Drinks ok. I would say worthy of 250 a night Max . Other then beachfront , everything else was mediocre

This area has been through multiple hurricanes so to see how clean it is already just shows how passionate the area is to get it back on track to make it enjoyable. Beautiful beaches, incredible humble people. For a short relaxing getaway that we’re looking for, it was perfect.

Loved the convenience of being beachside and also the chairs and towels. Room decor was decent but a little mismatched. Our headboard was attached next to an old one and photos showed a walk in shower and we had tub. Also for staying 3 nights our housekeeping didn’t replenish shampoo and the sinks weren’t wiped out during the room reset. Staff on property were very warm and welcoming. The in house restaurant was top quality meals very impressed and convenient hours

We were very impressed with the condition of our room and the condition of the resort. The staff at was friendly especially the coffee shop staff. Today was the presidential inaugeration so we went to check out 10 minutes before President Trump was sworn in as we had to check out at noon. We rushed the restaurant/bar at rhe resort to watch the President of the United States of America get sworn in. We asked the manager at thr restaurant if he could change the channel so we could watch and the manager on duty said "We will NOT be watching that on this TV" very rudely. This was a very important day in our history and the manager refused to let us warch it and all we wete asking for about 5 minutes to watch the change of command in our country.

2nd time in two years

This is the second time we have stayed at Sanibel Island Beach Resort. The quick access to the beach and the overall condition of the resort is why we came back. The wife and I are already discussing coming back this summer for a couple of weeks.
