Loved all of the accommodations! Will absolutely return . Beautiful property and super polite,hard working staff to assure that everyone’s expectations were met . The free use of high quality beach chairs and luxurious towels that never ran out was a huge plus !!!

The pond on the side of the resort may have been the cause for the continued no see um attacks when we were on our ocean front balcony.By the end of the trip we could not enjoy our balcony coffee due to the insects. Can the resort spray the property ? The purchased repellent sprays were ineffective .

Darias was FABULOUS!!! Actually, all the staff we encountered were really terrific and super friendly! Location is great. Property is VERY well taken care of. The updates since the hurricane are beautiful! Room and bathroom were very clean and well stocked.

We would have loved some hooks in the bathroom to hang robes and towels. Oddly, we really had no where to sit and have a cup of coffee in the room as there was 1 chair and NO table (how strange is that?). Kind of limited to sitting on the bed. There was no seating outside the rooms so if we wanted to sit somewhere we had to walk 3 buildings down to the pool area, which does not open until 8 am. They can use better lighting in the "coffee cubby". Maybe an ice machine in each of your 3 buildings, including down by the pool. One ice machine for the entire property just doesn't cut it.

Very nicely kept , nice pool, right on beautiful beach. Staff was very nice and accommodating. I would return for another stay but would hesitate to bring my grandchildren as there is a pond with an alligator or two right next to the walkway by the pool & foot shower is at edge of that pond.

Alligator pond is way too close for comfort. I saw the small baby Alligator swimming,approx. 2ft long that could easily crawl out of that pond and wander around & you have to walk right next to it to get to pool and beach. Where is the mother? The rope around pond isn't going to stop them. There is a small warning sign on one side and a bench on the other side to sit on which seems crazy that it's there.

The Sanibel Island Beach Resort was VERY peaceful! The "ADULT" pool with the bar was very nice...BUT

....BUT there were children under the age of 13 running around (doing what kids do) while the mom was drinking at the bar! Should be NO CHILDREN ALLOWED in the bar/ADULT POOL area! Secondly....we found out that Sanibel Island has a nickname...SAND FLEA ISLAND!!!! "YES" we got eaten up by Sand Fleas on the beach!!!!

This resort was one of the few now opened 15 months after Hurricane Ian. There was nothing at all wrong with the facility; it was just not the cottage like facility we had patronized for the previous 27 years. Our “resort” was the Castaways. Hurricane Ian removed that completely from existence. Sanibel island Beach Resort is a hotel with direct access to the beach.

It wasn’t a cottage. . . but it wasn’t meant to be.

The room was nice, except the bed is too hard.

The neseeims (gnats) were horrible. We went the 3rd week of September, and a lot of the restaurants and stores were closed because it is off-season. We couldn't sit on the beach first thing or evening because if of the neseeims. Pictures on the internet showed clear blue water, and it wasn't. People were saying that because of the storms they had a week before.

Location to beach was amazing! Pool was spectacular. Food at outdoor bar was good. Great service at outdoor bar. Nice to have larger fridge in room. Couch/table was comfortable. Great location to area activities, restaurants, & shops.

Could've used more umbrellas around pool. "Closet" area in room was rather tight in relation to sink.
