Our safe did not work; we chose not to complain as we could clearly see you were cleaning up after two storms. Melton at the pool bar is a huge asset to your facility.

Great location steps to the beach. However, our room smelled musty and mildewy the entire stay. Would not stay here again because of the terrible odor. It was way overpriced for what we got.

Good beach access. Best thing about the island is their respect for the night, and minimal light pollution. Kudos to the community.

New favorite spot on Sanibel
The entire staff were so friendly, attentive and professional while dealing with reconstruction projects. The BRGR eats were delish in the restaurant and at the pool side bar, YUM. Relaxing vibes, great location and proximity to the beach, can't wait to come back

Beautiful location. It’s hard for me to evaluate fully, because we had to evacuate due to a dangerous storm developing in the Gulf shortly after we arrived. The resort was clean, quiet, and rather quaint.

My fiance and I stayed here for 3 nights, we did leave one night early due to hurricane helene and power outages. We had to wait until the water receded and it was safe to leave the island. We were already here when it hit unfortunately. Staff moved us up to the second floor, the general manager Nicole was excellent and present at the property and made sure everyone was safe and taken care of.

They bill themselves as a resort When in all actuality it’s a very old hotel trying to be a resort. All they have to offer is a pool and restaurant. The rooms leave a lot to be desired. The beds were comfortable and sheets appeared clean. That’s about all.

We enjoyed our stay at the resort. One thing that could have been helpful would have been a pamphlet with Wifi info, restaurant times . Seriously the area should be sprayed for no seeums . There are natural and environmentally friendly sprays. It was not fun at the beach or pool area because of them in the late afternoon. The room we were in had no shelf to put your vanity case etc There is plenty of room for shelf. The sink area was small so no room there. I had to put my toiletries on the TV table The staff was friendly and pleasant. When we stay at places, I usually buy something at the resort's store but there wasn't much merchandise to select from, so I didn't here.
