10/10 Exceptional

we had a great stay at the Sanibel Island Beach Resort. Few things of note are, the resort is older but well maintained, the air conditioning in the room is a wall unit and is quite noisy. The beds are not as comfortable as desired and the pillows are terrible. Bring your own if possible. Other than that we enjoyed the location, the area is quiet and the beach is beautiful. Chairs are available but not until after a certain time, could be earlier for sunrise watchers. Pool hours are a little limited as well.

4/10 Fair

Poor service and small rooms for price
Pets were not welcomed even though advertisements said pet friendly. Even ESA animals had to pay $75 dollar fee everyday. Parking lots had unsafe access to rooms over stones and raised beds. No service of food after breakfast except at the pool. Expected better service for price. Expected bigger rooms for the price paid.

A Fantastic Resort
It was my first time in Sanibel, I was there for a photo shoot and was sceptical about what to expect of the accommodations there. At the end of my stay at this facility, I will confidently state that it ranks in the top percentile of all the hotels I've stayed in the US. There was nowhere around the grounds that I could point to and say I was disappointed. The layout is perfect, with different semi-private, well-shaded garden areas and pleasant staff. To top off the pleasantries, I ran into a few compatriots who I didn't know personally but felt so at home with them.

...why no umbrellas...?
Lovely place, very attentive management. Marvellous beach with myriades of shells. Free beach chairs included. But we missed umbrellas to go with the chairs...the sun was strong, so we had to go back under the umbrella in the small pool, but...there were only very few....
