Sanibel Captiva Island hotel rooms a the Independent

"Enjoyed everything about this place! Will definitely come back!"

"Everything was excellent. Location was close to restaurants and facilities and room were very nice. "

"There was a juggle with our villa as it was not 100% clean. But staff immediately upgraded us to the next door villa without any issues. I’m sure just a ripple in the reopening process of the resort. Beach staff was on the ball. Top notch. We did not use the marina facilities. But the pools and beach were very nice. Be mindful there are rules and height restrictions on activities that in our experience other resorts in the area do not have. The pool staff and concessions were doing their best but probably needed more feet on the ground for that size resort. Menu seemed fairly limited and repetitive whether inside the restaurant our poolside. There is construction areas. But no noise or confusion to deal with. Overall this is a pricy resort. But we hope to return as they get it up to full function. Renting the golf cart was the best decision ever! "

"Beautiful and relaxing. Can't say enough good things. Staff was great from Jillian at front desk to Cass serving drinks. Everyone so nice "

"Just a wonderful feeling being at the resort. We absolutely love the Serenity pool area and enjoyed a spectacular sunset from the Crows Nest bar followed by a top notch dinner at the Old Captiva House. Shelby was a charming waitperson. We’ve stayed there four times and look forward to our fifth. "

"wonderful family friendly and spotless resort"

"Long weekend get away from the cold! Right on the beach!"

"It was perfect! The bed was comfy cozy, a huge TV (I rarely used it, so much to do outside), nicely appointed bathroom with a wonderful shower and several shampoos and body wash. The kitchen had everything needed for cooking. A couple of hot pads would be a good addition! A short walk to the beach using the wagon provided to each unit loaded with beach chairs and a great sturdy umbrella 🏖️ that screwed into the sand so it didn't blow away in the breeze/wind. Nice beach towels also included! Bikes are provided, although a basket would have been appreciated. I had to carry my groceries home in a bag on my shoulder.(I didn't have a vehicle) The grounds were very nice, with outdoor seating, a DIY bar area, outdoor shower for rinsing off after a day at the beach, and lovely landscaping. I really enjoyed my stay at the Palm View and will definitely return next year!"

"Very nice newly remodeled rooms were great"
