Gulf Pines Hotels near Sanibel

"Alles war gut ausser das Frühstück und der Kaffee. Da könnte man viel mehr daraus machen."

"All of the fun pools close between 6:00 and 6:30pm. Which is a real bummer. By the time you're able to check in, get into your room, get ready, and walk over they're already closed or close to it. Its May. Time to keep longer hours. We chose to stay here a few nights to give the kids a fun experience outside of the gulf for easy swimming. They were super bummed and so were we. I wouldn't stay here again just for that. The beds weren't the best. The bathrooms super outdated and gross looking. The only plus side was the free laundry onsite. We didnt use the free shuttle to the island so I cant speak on that."

"Room was immaculate and comfortable. Perfect location overlooking the pool (ground level). Poolside cafe drinks and food was delicious. Super quiet."

"Overall experience was ok to good. My wife and I stayed in a beach front room 5th floor. There is no peace or tranquility if you want to sit on the balcony at night. The pool for the kids is very loud and the entertainment whatever it might have been that night just travels right up the building into your room. 2 pools essentially for the kids and 1 adult pool. Adult pool and area pretty small. If you would like to use that pool get your towels and get there early or forget it. The beach is nice. However, if you get down there early (10am) for a beach chair you're gonna wait at least another hour on average for the umbrella. Oh ya, be sure to flag them down to get one because if you don't they will drive right by. Overall we feel the Pink Shell is more of a kids experience place. If you want a more adult relaxed feel I don't think you will get it here. 5 stars for the breakfast. It was really good and a good selection. We usually took it to go and ate on the balcony in our room. 5 stars for the Valet. One night when we went to down to get the car to go out, the valet did a dead sprint to get our car. Not necessary but they were always on it. Almost forgot, 10 stars on the sunsets!"

"Nice clean resort with friendly staff a winner for sure "

"Loved that all rooms had kitchenettes. Free use of washer drier. Fitness center was small."

"The staff at this place were EXTREMELY rude except for the staff that checked us in one out! We had breakfast at the Sundeck, the food was not made fresh it was prepared ahead of time and there was a confrontation between a staff member and a customer in we actually thought that someone was going to get hurt! Pretty unbelievable that we witnessed this, it made us feel very uncomfortable! This resort is EXTREMELY noisy so if you want a place to relax and be treated with respect from the staff, Lani Kai is not the place for you! On Sunday half the restaurants closed early! The bartenders down at the beach bar were standing around and totally ignored us!! (SO RUDE)!! Grateful we only stayed for one nice!! I would not waste my hard earned money at this place unless you like loud noisy rooms and rude unprofessional staff!!"

"Tiki Bar and pool area was Great ! Room very nice and Clean.All staff was on point.Thank you"

"Zero water pressure in room, maid service was spotty at best, sheets were stained in room on arrival No restaurant or room service after 7:30"
