The property is rather old but the staff and their attention to details and humble approach makes this place remarkable. I have asked for some modifications in my reservation and they were very caring about it, if you are looking for peace then this is the place. It has everyone that you might need for unwinding.

The rooms are overdue updating. Bland outdated decor. Ratty rugs and plan dates bathrooms. Outside of the units very unattractive especially compared to the great location and beautiful lobby building. Pricey for the level of decor in the units.

This resort was small but quaint. The front desk was very nice and helpful. The room was beautiful and the perfect size for my family, also very clean. The housekeeping staff was also very friendly and cleaned well. The pool was small and usually crowded as was the bar area and they did run out of towels, lounge chairs and umbrellas on the beach but we eventually got them. They offered bikes, paddle boats and kyaks free which was great. The beach was wonderful and very peaceful. The Italuan restaurant closed the kitchen 1 hour before what they stated they closed but there were plenty of outside restaurants that were still open. All in all we would come back to the Sanibel Inn on Sanibel Island, loved it!

Great room w/view
Room was great and facilities solid for what we were looking for. Parking a little dicey, and the breakfast restaurant featured 1 server with no help attempting to handle all tables. Understood staffing is tough out there but may think about positioning management in front of guests. Overall would definitely stay here again

I had a reservation at this property for a second floor through Orbitz. The day before the trip they sent me an email saying they moved me to a first floor which I cannot stand because of the noise above ensure enough we had noisy people above us, unacceptable when you made a reservation for a certain room.
