I first went to Captiva Island in 1983, when it was on the rise. I returned with my family regularly in the 1990's and early 2000's but stayed on Sanibel Island where the shelling was better, people were more genuine, restaurants were more accessible and fun. Sunset Beach Resort, formerly the Best Western had the best sunset views and was... more

Hubby and I had stayed at this resort several times in years past, but it had been at least 10 years since we had visited. A lot of the staff is the same as in years past which is a testament to the attitude of management in my opinion. They are friendly and helpful. Many thanks to Anthony who works... more

Just returned from another wonderful stay at the Sunset Beach Resort. I can't imagine a better place to do absolutely nothing but enjoy the beach, the pool and beautiful sunsets. Hotel staff is friendly and very accomodating; housekeeping staff is also eager to provide great service. The continental breakfast is simple but fresh baked and more than enough to start... more

After reading volumes of reviews for the Sanibel hotels, my friend and I decided on Sunset Beach. What enticed us was the promise of beach chairs, umbrellas and bikes available at no charge. We were not disappointed. We arrived on a Tuesday around 11 am. I had called the week before to request an early check-in since our flight was... more
