I took my wife to this hotel for a romantic weekend getaway. Because the way the island and hotel are situated, we had beautiful sunrises over the Gulf and good sunsets over the north end of the island in November. The rooms are clean, with non smoking rooms and no smoke smells. Wired high speed internet. The staff was friendly... more

So, the hotel landscaping and brick drive are nice. The rooms, however, are old school Holiday Inn. The beds are uncomfortable. From what I saw, there is no reason to pay for their "oceanfront" room since no rooms are oceanfront. There is a building that faces the ocean. But, there is a pool, courtyard area, and sand dunes in between.... more

My husband and I spent 4 nights at the Holiday Inn in October 09. It was unusually hot for this time of year. We were told it was usually in the 80's with lower humidity but it was high 90"s everyday we were there. The No See Ums were sand fleas I guess which attacked me but not my husband.... more

Our family has stayed at this Holiday Inn on Sanibel for the last 3 years in a row and are always pleased with this hotel. The rooms are clean and decorated with tropical flair. This year we stayed here in August and had a second floor Gulf View room which also overlooked the pool. The view was perfect. The front... more

We spent 6 nights here. The accomodations were exceptional. Extremely clean rooms and environment. Beautifully landscaped...pool is beautiful and clean. Pool bar had excellent drinks and reasonable, good food. Ocean is mere short walk from your hotel door. The housekeeping service is extraordinary. We generally stay at a higher class of hotels but this hotel has outclassed the Sanibel Harbour... more

I went on an end of summer trip with my 10 year old, and this was our first time in Sanibel Island. While the hotel is very close to the beach, it is not as close to anything else. We did walk to the nearest convenience store and to rent bikes, about a 10-15 minute walk. I would suggest either... more

Couldn't agree more with the previous post. Just got back 2 days ago. For the price and location this Holiday Inn cannot be beat. The lobby was nicely done, the rooms were modern and fresh looking. The gentlemen and ladies manning the front desk were always very helpful. They make fresh coffee in the lobby every 1/2 hour, which was... more
