I paid a resort fee but the resort facilities were not at all convenient to my room, which had a view of a parking lot and another wing of rooms. There were no signs indicating how to get to the beach. Suggestion: If noseeums are so chronic a problem that you have to send a warning with the confirmation, rather than having to buy repellent in the lobby, guests would appreciate having a complimentary repellent made available in their rooms, perhaps in travel sized containers, wipes, or refillable containers.

Great location but not clean

It was a great location right on the beach with an easy walk back and forth. They also had a pool. The rooms are tiny. If you have a family of four you need a full kitchen suite. The two queen room didn’t even have room to open up a suitcase. It was not super clean and closer to a two star hotel for cleanliness. But the location was awesome.

I'm delighted with Sanibel, but I've never visited this hotel before. I give it a 100% rating, just to be able to bring my pet. Everyone is very friendly, and the cleanliness is excellent. I just didn't like the stagnant water in front of the pool, which attracts a lot of mosquitoes. Otherwise, everything is excellent.

Beautiful oasis

The hotel was amazing from entering the beautiful lobby to the very modern nautical style room to the beach. They had chairs ready for you to lay on hammocks on the premises a nice Pool even games outside such as corn hole, large checkers game, etc.. and an addition they gave you a shell collecting bag when you check in which you’re gonna need there are tons of sea shells, Sanibel is definitely the seashell capital. The wristbands were an amazing addition. You do not have to carry your money, keys, etc. You could use your wristband at the pool bar, restaurant and enter your room so much easier than the keys and cards. Already planning a trip back with my girlfriends, this trip was a family trip. The restaurant was amazing with breakfast, lunch and dinner. Even snacks and drinks to bring to the beach.
