The Colony is a bit of a throw back motel/hotel to the old days of Florida hotels which is great for some people, less so for others. For me personally, I like its retro feel. Its far from a luxurious place but a perfect beach retreat steps from the beach and on the quieter side of the island. Each unit... More

My husband and I were genuinely surprised at the the lovely accomodations and reasonable rates of the Colony Resort. Our place had a bedroom, kitchen, living area and screened in lanai. The area was quiet, but accessible to restaurants and shopping. Would definitely stay here, if we go to that part of Florida again. More

Our friends having been staying at this hotels for years and they always rave about it, so we decided to join them this past weekend. It is truly a great place! We stayed in a unit c16 which has a door through the next unit (great for a multi families) This hotel is far from luxury! It's more of a... More

My husband and I spent Memorial Day weekend in C-20 at the Colony. We had the time of our lives! The room was perfect...a cozy, comfy king-sized bed, a separate living room with plush sofas, a fully stocked kitchen, and an AMAZING screened-in porch with some of the most comfortable patio furniture I have ever sat on. We luxuriated and... More

Our first night stay was in C-17. The beds were horribly uncomfortable. We did not sleep well at all and our bodies were sore the next day. We are 30-40 yrs old and have not experienced back and neck pain like this ever before!! One of the management staffers was accomodating and apologetic and moved us to C-2. However, that... More

We've stayed at the Colony Resort in Sanibel, Florida for several years. The rooms are clean and remodeled. They have their own pool and and very very short walk to the beach. The rooms have a smalls kitchenette (stove, refrigerator, microwave, pots, pans, glasses, utensils). They also have plenty of beach chairs. We called and asked the front desk what... More

Having always stayed on Captiva and never on Sanibel I was a bit nervous on what I had rented. It was not a let down, though. Yes the unit we were in was dated, it still have alot of charm. Hardwood floors, tile in the bathroom and kitchen...Shower was awesome! The only downfall was we were in a cottage-#17 (they... More

Our family of 4, two adults and two children (6 and 10) visited Sanibel for a long weekend. This was our first visit to the Colony Resort but it won't be our last. It is beyond a doubt the best value available on Sanibel. The rooms are all one bedroom condos. They are available for viewing at the websire so... More
