Everything was great.
One of the best location in Sanibel. The beach is incredible. The rooms and buildings are renewed. The rooms are cleaned everyday. The front desk employees, the employees at the restaurant and pool bar are so polite, nice and very helpful. Everything was great. It is a great hotel for kids. Very easy access to the beach and the pool area.

Overall, the property is in good condition but maintenance is still required in some areas. Our room was clean and comfortable, but the carpet was ripped where it joins the bathroom floor. What we liked was the location; on the beach and not far from various restaurants. The BrGr restaurant is also convenient for a quick bite.

The brochure and actual room is different. The room had a rank wet smell when we entered it. Lysol spray helped it. A lizard was on wall I’m terrified of lizards. The second floor had no elevator with my bad knees and heavy luggage. I wish there were balconies. They couldn’t find me initially on the register. Overall it was an ok experience.

There is a light in the bathroom that never goes off. Door is opaque, so no darkness. Could not sleep because of this. When I tried to call front desk, phone in room is completely dead. Got an additional charge on my credit card. Hope it is not for my service dog!! Got an email from hotel asking about my need for a service dog that I felt crossed a line. Responded with a copy of his 8 year old NSAR card.

Recently remodeled, clean, chic and onsite food options. Close walk to the beach. Friendly staff. Only issue is it’s easy to track sand into your unit but no dustpan or vacuum to pick it up. Great place to stay.

The resort is lovely with a great restaurant and cafe. The beach loungers were perfect. Umbrellas would be the perfect addition. I wasn’t aware of the daily resort fee which was a shocker at the end of my trip.

Room was very nice, bathroom very roomy, room for all your supplies with an uncluttered sink and counter top, beautiful view of pool, short walk to beach. Bottle of water daily would be a plus for me. Convenient location to main road. Would return!

Perfect Stay!!!!
This hotel was perfect. We parked right outside our door, which made it so easy to unload/load. The pool was easily accessible and the beach a short walk. The outdoor shower was nice, but the noseeums are super bad near the water. The hotel offers all kinds of bug spray, bracelets, and sunscreen. Use it! I loved the shell bag and got great use of it! You can even see the ocean from the pool. They even gave us extra bars of soap for the shower instead of gel. I liked both. The room was nice and cool. The safe came in handy, and we loved the room key bracelets that were waterproof. The setee bench was awesome for luggage. The shower was nice and roomy! We also got plenty of towels waiting for us. The fridge, microwave, and Keurig were all used. Looking forward to going back!

The location of the property was great, close to the beach and close to the restaurants that have opened back up. Rooms were very nice and not expensive, most places on Sanibel are very expensive and were really dated but not this property. I will definitely stay here again.
