We just happened to come across the Caribe Resort for the week we wanted- what a gem. It is not the newest resort on the island but it has everything you could possilbly need for a relaxing time away and it is on the beach. The staff are great- thank you Dawn at the front desk. It is such a... More

This was a very lucky encounter, we found this place on a whim while driving down the island. Perfect, clean, simple, pool warm, beach front within seconds. We will go back! Go for a bike ride on the free bikes!! Staff very friendly! More

A wonderful two weeks on Sanibel - right on the beach where we can view the sunrise and sunset from the exact same spot in front of the property. Great place for singles or couples since the rooms are smaller and there are not the ameneties that children desire. Very quiet and peaceful. Positioned just right for visiting J.N. "Ding"... More

We had been staying at a very large and lovely condo about 20 miles away, with no beach. We came to Sanibel for the day and knew we had to stay there for our sake and our kids. Went into the Caribe and they were very friendly and let us look at a few of the units to select which... More

First, the positives: Quiet. Clean, well-maintained grounds, friendly maintenance staff, good location on West Gulf Drive. Pet-friendly. Now for the negatives: We arrived to discover the specific ground-floor room we were promised (in writing) was occupied and unavailable, though no one had warned us. The property manager agreed to our request for a 15% discount for the inconvenience. I guess... More

I've been coming to the caribe since I was young, probably 5 or 6 and I am now 26 and I still come every summer with my family. Between me, my mom and my grandmother, we have 3 time shares there and it is so nice and memorable because all of the family can get together. I actually got engaged... More

The Caribe is a timeshare resort, but when you visit you aren't slapped with one of those annoying sales-pitches. The resort is older and in severe need of updates. The refrigerator, dishwasher, wallpaper, and the entire bathroom should be removed and replaced with something more modern. Even with these problems, however, our stay was fantastic. Our room on the 2nd... More

We exchanged through RCI originally for Siesta Key - decided to go to Caribe Beach Resort instead partially because they are "pet friendly" - we absolutely made the right decision ! This is a small quaint quiet clean resort - we were lucky to get the "Outrigger" 1 bdrm unit - more than likely on cancellation due to unknown track... More
