It was a great stay. I have no complaints about the resort. All of the staff we interacted with were great! The beach was just across the road, so nice! We were able to sign out bicycles to explore the area.

Tween waters management is not to be desired
I was a quest at a wedding September 2023 Aside from the expected hurricane damage which has nothing to do with my complaint. The property is not well managed the staff and management is either nasty or claim to be clueless ! Rooms were incorrect … the property is filthy there are many code safety violations for which are going on under the radar …. Parking is horrid … the only plus I can give is the food is good the outdoor golf cart drivers are good to the guests ! Other than that I would not advise staying there until the management does their job ! Right now thy are getting away with it bc thy are the only place open but not for long !!!!

Horrible experience with this place. The high price of the room doesn’t match the condition of the hotel. Everything is super old. Paid $400 a night for the old room with broken shower. Motel condition for the price of the finest resort. True rip off. On top of that, Tween waters double charged me for the room. So, $800 total later, 5 days…. , still no refund issued. calling hotel for two days, manger is not calling back…. Overall beautiful island. Just wait for the other hotel to get back. This place is ripping people off for their motel quality rooms.

Tween Waters is a great place to spend a vacation or in our case to host a wedding. We had a fabulous beach wedding there and all of our guests were impressed with the meal and the service. It was a very special day for all attending. We stayed a couple of days to relax afterward and enjoyed the beach and excellent food at their restaurant.

I do apologize that the staff was rude to you. Where you have booked this reservation through a 3rd party site, Expedia, they might not keep all up to date information or pictures of the property directly, where on our website directly we have done this. It is always best to to the website directly of the hotel for the most up to date information.

Add on to my initial review where I mentioned this place was party central in January, but LOVED air otherwise. I got a $680 bill two months after my stay for incidentals. I also got billed for a boat rental because I didn’t cancel 24 hours ahead of time. I had some guests that were not swimmers and I didn’t not deem it safe. Never mind they were closed that day because there was a bad storm with hurricane alerts. “I should have called” even though they weren’t there.

The room was terrible! If you like blood stained pillows, black curly hairs all over your sheets & mattress cover, an unsecured front door that doesn't shut/lock properly, tacks that poke your feet where the old carpet meets the tile, broken light fixtures, and pee stains on carpet....then this place is for you! We checked in on a Wednesday night, had some food then got to our room. It looked nothing like the pictures online. It was very dated and our bedding was really gross. The front desk staff that night was very polite and gave us new sheets...but those were the wrong size. So we got more new sheets which were also too small to fit on the bed. We were going to just deal with it, but we kept stepping on a sharp tack under the old carpet where it met the tile so we had to wear sandals in the hotel room. Our front door also didn't fit flush in the frame so you could see light coming through and you really had to "hit the sweet spot" to get it to lock, but it didn't seem really secure. We asked if we could have a different room, but none were available so we checked out the next morning. We politely told them of our issues, but the staff at the checkout was very rude and didn't want to hear any of it. She then told me that I would only have to pay the resort fee for our first day, and that we would get a full refund for the 3 other days when our 3rd party booking company contacted them. A week later we have no refund. Stay ANYWHERE else! Great island, bad resort.

The property has access to a lovely beach. But they charge extra for chairs and umbrellas, resort fees, other recreational charges, etc. Felt like we were being nickel-and-dimed on top of the base prices. Better to charge a little bit more up front and be all-inclusive.

Great convenience to walk to beach. No place to rinse sand off feet that we found. Used pool shower but didn’t have a low “head” to rinse feet. It was super windy a couple of our days so you got soaked just trying to get sand off your feet.

The resort was well maintained. I enjoyed the beach chair and umbrella service. It was great to be on a beach and not be elbow to elbow with people around us. This was our first time here and will not be our last. The rooms were clean and bed was comfortable. I liked all of the pools and hot tubs. I wish there was a hot tub within the adult only pool area. The coffee bar by the pool needs to finish their renovations and re-open soon. The sunrise over the bay and the sunsets over the private beach are amazing.

Great place for R&R, beach is right across the street, very short walking distance. There are no grocery stores near by. Transportation on the island is very limited and expensive. Elevator to our room was out of service, and no microwaves in room but can rent for $20 daily. In hind sight I think a car rental would’ve cost about the same as taxi. We were disappointed with the bar by the pool, servers were pretty rude, costly mixed drinks were not enjoyable. I feel like that bar could use a face lift. Everything else is pretty great. I would definitely come back except maybe rent a car next time.

Great location. Right across the street from the beach. The room had a view of the beach which was great for watching the sunset. There's only one or two decent restaurants in the entire Captiva area. The property itself needs a few renovations to make it look and feel a bit less run down.
