Sanibel Island Beach Resort has been beautifully restored since the devastating hurricane. We loved the pool and beach areas. The beach chairs are a big plus. The food from the restaurant, which we had three nights while sitting by the pool looking out at the beach, was delicious. The only negatives were our room, which was on the first floor, smelled a bit musty or moldy and the shower didn’t drain well. The woman at the front desk said it was because of people taking showers with sand on them. She said they try to be proactive but it still happens. Makes sense I guess. Don’t really understand why people don’t wash sand off before coming into the room…especially since there’s a warm shower outside by the pool for that very reason! Overall, we had a wonderful stay!

The property was overall nice , however not worthy of 400 a night . There was nothing special , no coffee bar in am , small Keurig with powder creamer , nothing upscale to be worthy of resort status. The meals were good ,expensive but good tasting . Drinks ok. I would say worthy of 250 a night Max . Other then beachfront , everything else was mediocre

This area has been through multiple hurricanes so to see how clean it is already just shows how passionate the area is to get it back on track to make it enjoyable. Beautiful beaches, incredible humble people. For a short relaxing getaway that we’re looking for, it was perfect.

Loved the convenience of being beachside and also the chairs and towels. Room decor was decent but a little mismatched. Our headboard was attached next to an old one and photos showed a walk in shower and we had tub. Also for staying 3 nights our housekeeping didn’t replenish shampoo and the sinks weren’t wiped out during the room reset. Staff on property were very warm and welcoming. The in house restaurant was top quality meals very impressed and convenient hours

We were very impressed with the condition of our room and the condition of the resort. The staff at was friendly especially the coffee shop staff. Today was the presidential inaugeration so we went to check out 10 minutes before President Trump was sworn in as we had to check out at noon. We rushed the restaurant/bar at rhe resort to watch the President of the United States of America get sworn in. We asked the manager at thr restaurant if he could change the channel so we could watch and the manager on duty said "We will NOT be watching that on this TV" very rudely. This was a very important day in our history and the manager refused to let us warch it and all we wete asking for about 5 minutes to watch the change of command in our country.
