A very pleasant and reasonable, by Sanibel standards, place to stay. Right on the beach, and a nice pool and deck area as well. Screened porches on at least some, if not all units, which can be a big help if it is buggy. Sanibel tip - drive to the old lighthouse area around sunset and walk the beach there;... More

Loved this hotel...gulf front to the beach...clean rooms...restaurant on property...drinks are a bit pricy at the pool bar but we brought our own anyway. Eateries nearby...me some great new friends...good shelling. I'm sure it was better in other areas. Front desk awesome...faxed paperwork and nice computer lab. Would stay here again.

This review is long overdue... Spring Break 2012. Half spent in Fort Myers, the other half Sanibel. Somehow, we ended up at the West Wind Inn. After staying in first class accommodations mainland, we were a little unsure about checking into a smaller motel at first. It did not, however, take long to acclimate. Aside from the spectacular location, we... More

I enjoyed my stay at the West Wind Inn. The Front desk staff was informative and pleasant. They give you a detailed map of the grounds. My room was cleaned daily and replenished with fresh towels. The room has a microwave and refrigerator. The screened in porch kept the mosquitoes away. The grounds are well-maintained. Pool is clean and large.... More

We were married here in 2009, and have continued to stay at the West Wind Inn every time we visit Sanibel. We had a couple of issues in the beginning of our 10 night stay, but it was resolved with no other issues the rest of our stay. The location is the best on the island for shelling. The pool... More

This was a delightful little inn with a beautiful, quiet location! The guest rooms are newly renovated. The beds are comfortable and towels large and fluffy! Throughout the property, it is obvious that service is a number on priority. Housekeeping would clean our room every morning while we were at breakfast. Do not miss the restaurant! It is more like...
