Sanibel Island Beach Resort

"Need to have Sanibel map of sites in each room, an outdoor shower to clean off sand near tiki hut would be great! Loved toiletries. Bar is a little pricey 2 small bloody marys and one appitiser of onion rings = $50 plus tip. Your remodel is fantastic. You will see us again for a 5 day stay with more girlfriends."

Sanibel Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Rebuilt post-hurricane so brand new throughout. Our suite was a good size and well-equipped, power blinds, nice balcony. Excellent bed and bedding. Dante’s - which a little cold and noisy - the only dining option when the Tiki bar had a private event and the Tiki bar closes at 7 in any event. Very pleasant and helpful staff. An excellent coffee service at the reception. I would come back!"
