Top Sanibel Hotel Reviews

Sanibel Island Beach Resort

Sanibel Island Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent
"Our room was clean and tidy when we arrived and service came every other day for cleaning and linen change, etc. The staff was cordial and helpful every step of the way. The on-site restaurant was very good, particularly their grilled mahi-mahi and their onion rings! Other items on the menu were equally as good if not better than a couple of the local establishments. Our parking was convenient to our room, and our room was just a few steps from the pool and the beach. Our stay was a full week that, unfortunately, flew by way too fast!"
