We usually stay at condos but the Inn was great. The outside is strictly 60's/70's, most of the island's hotels are. We were upgraded from a poolside room to a gulfside ground level with a great gulf view. The room was remodeled very nicely. Great bathroom. Every surface, even the furniture was granite. We were more than happy with the... More

I booked this hotel on-line the day before arrival so my choices were very limited. Most places were already booked for my dates. The hotel staff were nice at the office and helpful. The parking spaces are free and numerous. Parked right in front of our room on the first floor. The room was average size for 2 queen beds.... More

We chose West Wind for our first visit to Sanibel because of reviews here and were not disppointed. It's true that it is older than some properties and could do with a bit of a facelift in some areas but that does not detract from the overall experience. It offers good value and a quiet relaxed introduction to the Sanibel... More

Location on the island superb, the beach is beautiful..the hotel is located on 10 acres, nicely manicured...pool bar open until 8 pm, pool is heated and one of the largest on the island. The bad news is that the inn requires a makeover, badly,On entering our room 119, we were assailed by a horrid odour, it smelled like wet dog...no... More

West Wind is showing a bit of its age, but don't let that deter you. Located in a great spot in half-way down the island, every room is mere steps from a beautiful, quiet section of the beach. The salt water pool is fantastic. The staff are well informed and helpful on area tours and things to do. There is... More

Lately, West Wind Inn has been promoting itself as "True Sanibel". I think I know what they mean. It really does seem to include what people visit Sanibel for. The beach is quiet and away from the crowds, such as they are on Sanibel. In fact, the whole location is seductively quiet and low key. Comfortable rooms, but that's not... More

The West Wind Inn is located on a quiet stretch of the Island. From my top floor room, it was just 1-2 minutes to the beach. The view from my Gulf view room was spectacular. I could see both the gulf and the beautiful pool area. At night, the Inn is lit beautifully. The grounds are pristine and beautifully maintained.... More

The West Wind Inn was likely an exceptional hotel in its time but that time has passed and this shining star is starting to fade. Staff efforts are excellent and services meet average levels but the building itself is showing the frayed edges of time. Combine this with the large dead centipede on our deck and things feel a bit... More

We returned once again to the West Wind Inn in August. It is a very simple place,nothing flashy.It is on the beach and it is beautiful.It is not expensive. The shops and restaurants on Sanibel Island are varied and excellent. From the moment you arrive ,you begin to unwind. I want to go back... More
