Beach was the best part of this hotel
Posted Sep 26, 2016
Pros: Like I said the best part of this hotel was the beach but you had to cross the road to get here.
Cons: Classes on customer service to staff. Lower prices.
Location: Beach for shelling.
Beach was the best part of this hotel. The staff was unfriendly and didn't know how to smile or say hello. Once we couldn't get out of our parking space because one of the hotel staff golf cart was parked behind our car. The pool was loud and looked like a bunch of drunk people - not inviting - or no one had control over the pool area. The elevators smelled awful - no air running in them and not clean. The room was okay - 1 bedroom suite but way over priced!! Has no king size beds for one bedroom suites?? The free breakfast was just fruit, bagel and pastry and a staff who wanted a tip for doing nothing.

Pros: Location
Cons: Rooms need updating.
Location: Water, water, water!
Wonderful location with stunning views. Excellent customer service and food. If you are looking for luxury, this hotel is not for you but the location more than makes up for less luxury!

Pros: Clean and beautiful
Cons: See above
Ice machine did not work on my floor. I went to the pool and 1 worker was doing nothing but making noise. He went from machine to machine just going back and forth. I have been in the business for 36 years and this guy was doing nothing but burning hours. Several guest had the same attitude. Upon arrival the front desk said they were putting my "credit card on File". Upon arrival at home I see a 50 pending charge! I was not notified of this! Guest should be advised of this.

Tween Waters Anniversary
Posted Sep 17, 2016
Pros: The location to the ocean, hospitality at the reception desk, and professionalism of the wait staff in the Captiva House.
Cons: Please let guests know not to put anything under the air conditioning unit, as it drips and leaves articles soaking wet. Bathroom floor was filthy.
Location: Sunset at Mucky Duck was sensational, Bubble Room was a blast not to be missed!
We booked our stay through Expedia, not the resort. They neglected to mention that our room was in the pet-friendly section, and we had barking dogs on both sides. When we notified the front desk, they moved us to the section closest to the beach, Sea Grape, at no extra charge. The dinner at the Captiva House was extraordinary. We decided to stay an extra day, as we had not yet been swimming in the ocean or pool yet, and felt there was so much we hadn't yet experienced.

Comfortable, charming resort
Posted Sep 17, 2016My husband and I were looking for a beach vacation. We arrived on Monday and left on Friday. If you're looking for a peaceful, quiet time this is the place for you. The beach is beautiful and private, and you're able to choose between two chairs with an umbrella or a cabana (both for a small rental fee). Totally worth it. Great spot for shelling, too.
Our room faced the bay, which was also lovely and quiet. There are also a few water activities to choose from, such as SUP, kayaking or boating. We decided on a kayak adventure and followed a trail through the mangroves. So beautiful and peaceful.
There are two restaurants on site- the Crow's nest and the Captiva House. We didn't get a chance to try out Captiva House, but we did sample some fresh fish at the Crow's Nest and it was delicious.
As I said before, it was just my husband and me for this first visit so we had rented a room. We are already making plans to come back next year with the kids and are hoping to rent one of the cute little cottages on the property.

No complaints, clean comfortable room and access to the beach involved crossing the road. Clean beach with cabanas and chairs with umbrellas with affordable rental fees.

Bien situé mais nécessitant un peu de rénovation
Posted Sep 7, 2016Endroit et plages magnifiques en revanche bâtiments de chambres vétustes, salle de bain nécessitant finissions, pas assez de choix de pains pour le petit déjeuner continental, juste bagels mais partie fruits varié, piscine pas très propre, clients peuvent boire et manger dans l'eau, pas de mot affiché demandant aux clients de prendre une douche avant d'aller à la piscine donc plein de sable à l'intérieur, parasol et chaises payants à la plage, dommage que ne soit pas gratuit pour les clients

Not Luxurious, But Relaxing...
Posted Aug 30, 2016The hotel has a very relaxing island feel to it. It is old and outdated, but clean and great location. The staff are Great, it is probably the best thing besides the location. Great wildlife, we saw dolphins, woodpeckers, great flowers and vegetation, lots of sea shells and fish in the water (snorkeling). The island is not busy at all in the summer time, so it is a nice getaway. One negative is there is no cell signal in a lot of places, especially in the resort and wifi is $7.95 per day. You would think they would offer free wifi by now. Everybody does... But overall a good experience.
