I have been to the island many times and have always enjoyed my stay at this property. Recent renovations have given an old friend a new flare.....and emphasizes why we return every year. The staff of the Inn is always accomdating and friendly, the restaurant had great food and soooo convenient if you just don't feel like driving anywhere. The... More

This was our 5th stay at Sanibel Inn in six years. It is a great property at a great price. Still as good every single year. The front desk, housekeeping and beach staff are all great (did not experience the bar or restaurant). The rooms are always clean and fresh and updated every year. The buildings are always freshly painted... More

The Anibel Inn is the place to stay! It was my third time on the the island and the second time at Sanibel Inn. I won't stay anywhere else. The rooms, wheather you are in the standard room or a suit, you'll love it. The beds are very comfy with 4 soft pillows and a feather duvet. The carpeting is... More

The Sanibel Inn meets most of the expectations for which the many positive reviews you will see prepare you. However, we started under a cloud that marred an otherwise beautiful day. We booked for three days. However, when we arrived, we were told the computer indicated that we had a fourth night free (plus many other freebees) -- as a... More

We stayed from 05/06/12-05/11/12 and will definitely be going back. The room was good [serviceable] with microwave and fridge which we always appreciate. The view of the ocean from our room in the Dune Daisy building was spectacular. Pool and grounds were clean and well kept, the staff was friendly and very helpful, the housekeeping was top notch. The beach... More

We really enjoyed our stay. The room was great, overlooking the ocean. The staff were very friendly and the location is great. This is a good place for families, as well as couples. The beach chairs, umbrellas and towels are free. There are also bikes to rent for free, also. We would stay here again. More

We have stayed at this property a few times over the past few years in addition to a few of the other properties in the collection. We are frequent visitors to Sanibel Island; it is a laid-back, quiet beach and is very peaceful. Sanibel has a bike path so you can bike almost anywhere pretty safely. Overall, Sanibel Inn is...

Run down, broken rusted, outdated, needs a facelift and better management. Wouldn't use outdoor ice machine for fear of some sort of mold issue. Uncaring management. Dirty beaches and chairs. Good thing they have some caring staff or I would have walked out. Cudos to Tracey, Tyler, Vinnie, Destiny, Grant, Margaret and our bartender!!! You should be recognized for your... More

My best friend Penny and I planned a girls trip to Sanibel Island. Little did we know that it would turn out to be the "Trip from Hell"!! We signed up for the Summer Escape arriving on May 2, 2012. This promotion featured the 4th night free. Reservations told us the 4th night would be taken off of our bill... More
