Overall Score5.0/ 5
Had a great stay. Room was clean, everyone was friendly. Our first night we watched a turtle come on shore and make a nest for her eggs, magical. Melton at the pool bar was the best. Will definitely be back.

"Wonderful Property!"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
This was our first visit to Sanibel and we were extremely impressed and satisfied with the property. The front desk, especially Kacie, was very helpful and made my oldest daughter’s 15th birthday a memorable one. Our room was 150 steps from the resort provided beach chairs. The room and pool area were well kept and clean. Our interactions with housekeeping were top notch too. We can’t wait to return to this wonderful property. Last but not least, I booked with Hotel Planner and had a great first experience in doing so!
