We were married here in 2009, and have continued to stay at the West Wind Inn every time we visit Sanibel. We had a couple of issues in the beginning of our 10 night stay, but it was resolved with no other issues the rest of our stay. The location is the best on the island for shelling. The pool... More

This was a delightful little inn with a beautiful, quiet location! The guest rooms are newly renovated. The beds are comfortable and towels large and fluffy! Throughout the property, it is obvious that service is a number on priority. Housekeeping would clean our room every morning while we were at breakfast. Do not miss the restaurant! It is more like...

This was our 4th time at West Wind Inn and it is just as good as it was first time around. The rooms are good, my wife and I prefer the second floor, and the beds are most comfortable. The facilities include good sized swimming pool, pool-bar serving drinks and lunch, plenty of clean towels available, right next to the... More

Gerry helped when I made reservations. She was very pleasant and helpful. At check in, we were given a few tips, literature about the island with a bag for collecting shells on the beach, a nice touch. We truly enjoyed our visit here. The accommodations were sufficient. Some things were a bit dated but other things made it show pretty... More

Had a wonderful stay at the West Wind! Great room, pool, and it's right on the beach. Room was very spacious and the pool is larger than most. Hotel grounds are beautiful too. It's really a great place to stay on Sanibel. Highly recommend it!

Because of top reviews on Trip Advisor we decided to make our reservations here. We searched so many places to stay on the island and The West Wind had the best reviews. Everything was perfect. When I made my reservation, the front desk suggested a room for us and room 207 was just perfect. I explained to the front desk... More

Me and my wife stayed here for 4 nights. The hotel is very nice, clean and comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful! The location on the island is also very good. You can rent a bike at the hotel and you can reach everything in about a few minutes (Restaurants, J.N. Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge....). Just great! Would... More

My hubby and I recently spent two nights here. The room was small but included everthing we wanted: fridge, stove, toaster, microwave, sterilized dishes and utensils, and a screened in, private patio. Also, lots of towels and nice toiletries. Bed was comfortable and the A/C rocked. Lovely pool area with bar and could have lunch served there. The coup de... More

While the rooms aren't over the top, just a basic motel room with a small bathroom, all the other things here make this place excellent. We travelled with 2 children, one still in a crib, with a simple call ahead the hotel had a crib waiting in our room for us. The staff was so friendly and helpful our entire... More
