Sanibel Inn

Sanibel Inn

10/10 Excellent
"This was my first time in this resort and I was impressed with everything. The grounds were beautiful the location perfect. Bike trails and dining options and shopping. The accommodations were perfect. The room had kitchenette with everything we needed. The view was truly the best and the water just what I remember as a child visiting Sanibel and Captiva. The check in process was seamless. They gave us info about the resort and the area which no other location does. It’s either electronic or using scanner codes. The stag was very friendly and accommodating! The beach guys for our chairs and umbrella were so pleasant and polite! So very rare to see. We ate at tiki bar and that too was excellent. We loved the tranquility and the privacy! Excellent for families or couples. I will definitely be returning to this resort. Thank you for a lovely stay."
