We stayed here for our anniversary 5/16-5/19/08 and had a wonderful, relaxing trip. The beach and views from the lanai were perfect. We had no issues with cleanliness - our room was cleaned everyday to our expectations. The pool bar had a great atmosphere and service level. We also enjoyed having our chairs set up on the beach for us... more

My Mother won a trip to Casa Ybel and from the reviews on Trip Advisor and the pictures on their website, we were VERY excited. When we got there, we could see a very outdated, unclean property. What truly surprised me was that everything was completely renovated after Hurricane Charley at the end of 2004 (told to me by management).... more

My wife and I stayed at the Casa Ybel for 5 nights from 5/11-5/16/08. We stayed in a 1 bedroom suite on the property. We found the room to be average, but the gulfront location was great. Being 50 yards from the beach was a big plus as was the view of the gulf from our screened-in lanai. We had... more

We visited Casa Ybel April 19-26,2008. The management heard we were celebration our anniversary and upon our arrival there was a wonderful fruit and cheese basket placed in our suite. The king suite was gulf front clean confortable and with a wonderful view of the gulf. The porch was great with a ceiling fan to move the air when warm.... more

For $500 a night, why do they remove the kitchen sponge, dish soap, hand towels, hand soap, tissues, etc. I went out and bought these items because I saw the cleaning people taking them out as we arrived. As we were leaving, they removed everything I bought instead of leaving it for the next person. There was very little used... more

We spent 6 nights at Casa Ybel in a one bedroom suite and we were very pleased overall. We have traveled a great deal and have stayed in many a Ritz Carlton, Four Seasons, Westin Resorts, etc. We have always favored boutique properties for their attention to service and we were not disappointed at Casa Ybel. We had originally tried... more

We held our wedding at the resort, we live locally but wanted a lovely experince. The staff went above and beyond for us. The rom we had with an ocean view was superb , the suite was spacious and perfect for us. We had our wedding on the beach, and then our reception in the thistle lodge which served us... more

I stayed at Casa Ybel for 5 nights in April 2008. We stayed in a 2-bedroom suite. Our suite was fine ... nothing fancy or luxurious, but perfectly acceptable. My main complaint was that the management seems more concerned with extracting as much money as possible from its guests. Maid service in the 2-bedroom suites is an extra $50 per... more

The location of Casa Ybel is fantastic, with all of the rooms having an ocean view. The rooms are nice but somewhat standard. My main problem was with the services, or lack thereof. If you go, make sure to book beach chairs in advance because we were told they have 122 rooms (accommodating 4 or more) and only 100 beach... more

First let me say we LOVE Sanibel. We've been coming for years and have stayed at Point Sand, South Seas & the Sundial (several times). First time at Casa Ybel. The nickel & diming is nothing short of ridiculous. Maid service? That will be $50. Fresh towels? That will be $10. Chairs & umbrellas for the beach? That's $175 for... more
