The room was great - it had everything we needed. Do expect noise though - the building we were in was not new so there was no (or very little) sound proofing so we could hear loud noises from the rooms on either side of us and foot steps from the room above us. It did quiet down at night so it was fine. The location is perfect - it is located at the center of Sanibel island. Will definitely stay here again.

What a beautiful resort! We loved our room, being only steps from the beach, and the wrist band entry "key" (which is perfect for a beach vacation.) The resort restaurant BRGR was wonderful and the resort grounds are lush and well maintained. Sanibel Island is beautiful and we hope to visit again.
