Good place.

It was a good place to stay. The only thing that bothered me was being charged 966$ when I was only supposed to pay 749$ Didn’t go in pool but looked nice. Loved that lounge chairs were available at the beach. Everyone at front desk was very nice.

The rooms were beautiful. They have did a wonderful job since the new owners bought the property. Everything has been modernized and looks great. The landscaping is beautiful. Everything was easy to access. Towels at the pool were super. Loved the hammocks. Beach chairs by the ocean, wonderful. Loved it.

I really liked the location of this property and the amenities that I used - the pool, pool bar/restaurant (excellent mahi-mahi caesar saled), beach, and beach chaise lounges. My room was clean and fairly large with a mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker and 2 free water bottles. Perfect. I highly recommend.

Room was clean, pool good, resort grounds pretty nice compared to alot of the hurricane damaged areas. The pool bar/food was really good. Adjacent burger joint very good. We bought a cheap beach umbrella. Beach chairs, towels provided. We’d go back. There is a $25 a day resort charge that is kinda a hidden charge, but still worth it. The island is slowly coming back, but still a long way to go. Didnt stop us from finding new/old restaurants open for business. Go to Sanibel and help the community get back to its former beautiful self.

Good the premium suite. The room was awesome. Shelling was good but better at bowman’s beach. I didn’t like that the front desk only recommended their resort. There are other local restaurants and beaches that were fun to try. I would definitely come back.
