Sanibel Island as a whole has a biting flea population. The hotel sent me an email to warn me. It wasn’t awful but some travelers may find it distasteful.

Nice Hotel on Beach
Very nice hotel, bathroom toilet area a bit dated and missing grout around tub tile on both sides plus shower curtain had large black smudge inside. Told front desk staff, not addressed while there. Great location, nice staff and pool area.

Newly renovated
Wonderful place. Even the casual restaurant was super nice. What i was not happy is that they charged a $25 fee on top of my bill.

It is a good resort, renovated
It was well, but there are a lot of signs from the storms yet, I think the price should be adjusted to the conditions. The pool service stooped at 6:25, and cairs at the beach were picked up at 5:00, still with the sunday.

Our safe did not work; we chose not to complain as we could clearly see you were cleaning up after two storms.
Melton at the pool bar is a huge asset to your facility.

Good beach access
Good beach access. Best thing about the island is their respect for the night, and minimal light pollution. Kudos to the community.

New favorite spot on Sanibel
The entire staff were so friendly, attentive and professional while dealing with reconstruction projects. The BRGR eats were delish in the restaurant and at the pool side bar, YUM. Relaxing vibes, great location and proximity to the beach, can't wait to come back

They bill themselves as a resort When in all actuality it’s a very old hotel trying to be a resort. All they have to offer is a pool and restaurant. The rooms leave a lot to be desired. The beds were comfortable and sheets appeared clean. That’s about all.

Property is clean and rooms are almost brand new. Staff at front desk and at restaurants were warm and friendly. Food at the restaurant was terrific. My only negative is we asked for a late checkout and the policy of the hotel is to charge $50/hr beyond noon time. While I can appreciate this policy during high season as rooms need to turn over, management has a choice during low season on a policy like this: you can either make money or make loyalty. In your case, you decided to make money on it. I would have suggested that because it's low season--you could have earned my loyalty by allowing me a late checkout without a cost--as nobody is checking in after us on a Monday. So in the future, I may consider this hotel--but I'll also consider other options. My advice is if gaining loyalty costs you nothing do it--it's worth a lot more than the dollars you made on my late checkout.
