The location, the size of property. The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable. They lent us sieves to search for shells and a boogie board for my children. Wish we could have stayed longer. They lost 15 buildings in the hurricane but they are still a fabulous place to stay.

The hotel had just reopened a week earlier following damage sustained in 2022 from Hurricane Ian, so occupancy was quiet with only one other room being occupied whilst we stayed there. As a result the whole hotel is new, with the decor and room fixtures & fittings being brand new. Rebecca at reception told us that we were the first to stay in our suite which was nice ! The swimming pool at the hotel is a great size and had an 8ft deep end and was lovely and warm. The rooms are comfortable, tastefully decorated with kitchen facilities and a great airy bathroom with excellent shower. There was ample sockets for charging throughout the room. The location is perfect for shops and groceries with a 7-Eleven next door and MudBugs, a great bar/restaurant and a pizza restaurant within easy walking distance.

    The beach was so wonderful!! I loved the shells! I want to go back again with the proper shell finding strainer and containers for found shells to take home. Beach was so peaceful. There is a shell washing station as you exit the beach.

    The shelling was good on Sanibel, but better on a public beach near the tip of Captiva. I got better shells that were actually "whole". See pics below. We ate at Doc Ford's Restaurant & the food was excellent. Another night, we ate at Cajun Mudbugs. The food was so-so, seafood was overcooked & dry. Frankly, I'm a better Cajun cook. They had live entertainment. We were expecting Acadian/ Cajun music, but instead they had a single musician, who played popular & oldie music. He was a good guitarist, but his singing was off key & extremely loud. You couldn't hear yourself think, let alone have a nice conversation at the table. It was an expensive ruined evening.

    Nice quiet place to stay. Friendly Islanders.

    Nice quiet place to stay. Friendly Islanders. Sea shells not as ample as implied on internet. Beautiful beach. Easy to access. Do not like the seaweed! Water is pretty, waves were pleasant. Gramma Dots Restaurant and Sanibel Grill good places to eat.

    This resort was one of the few now opened 15 months after Hurricane Ian. There was nothing at all wrong with the facility; it was just not the cottage like facility we had patronized for the previous 27 years. Our “resort” was the Castaways. Hurricane Ian removed that completely from existence. Sanibel island Beach Resort is a hotel with direct access to the beach.
