Little black bugs on bedside table. I killed 5 of them. Also, there was always hair in the tub. When I arrived (Someone else’s). And my own after cleaning. One day the room wasn’t cleaned or fresh towels. I had run out of towels and called housekeeping at 4pm. She came and was very nice and cleaned my bathroom and got me towels.

Excellent!!!! Everything is new after Ian. All of the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Loved having the chairs, umbrellas and towels at the beach and pool. Nice quality SUP, paddle & lifejacket, too. It was worth it to pay the extra for the Gulf View room and 2nd floor. Sanibel is coming back!
