We've stayed at the Colony Resort in Sanibel, Florida for several years. The rooms are clean and remodeled. They have their own pool and and very very short walk to the beach. The rooms have a smalls kitchenette (stove, refrigerator, microwave, pots, pans, glasses, utensils). They also have plenty of beach chairs. We called and asked the front desk what... more

Having always stayed on Captiva and never on Sanibel I was a bit nervous on what I had rented. It was not a let down, though. Yes the unit we were in was dated, it still have alot of charm. Hardwood floors, tile in the bathroom and kitchen...Shower was awesome! The only downfall was we were in a cottage-#17 (they... more

Our family of 4, two adults and two children (6 and 10) visited Sanibel for a long weekend. This was our first visit to the Colony Resort but it won't be our last. It is beyond a doubt the best value available on Sanibel. The rooms are all one bedroom condos. They are available for viewing at the websire so... more

We stayed here and was greatly disappointed by how old and dated the unit was we rented. Some of the kitchen must have been from the 1970's. Pictures are only from a distance where everything looks better. Swimming pool is very very small and old this is not shown on the internet. At night the property is dark without lighting... more

The front is deceiving though as the design of the units is such that they take advantage of a large green area in the back and the screened porches are very private. Our unit (C-20) was very private. We did not like that you open the... more

We just returned from a 5 night stay. This resort is definitely a gem - on the quiet East End of the island - away from the hustle and bustle! The condomium units are all privately owned and decorated to the owner's tastes. Our unit was very tropical - exactly what we expected for an island vacation! The beach was... more

My wife, children, grandchildren and I did our first annual family reunion on Sanibel. We used five of the Colony Resort Condos. We were extremely pleased with the accomodations. The units were old Florida and had a lot of character. Some units had king beds others had two doubles in bedroom. Swiming pool was available in addition to excellent beach... more

The Colony Resort, on East Gulf Drive, has a number of features that make it very attractive. 1) a short walk away from the Gulf of Mexico beach 2) the very nice, clean pool 3) the short walk to the Old Village of Sanibel, which includes a little general store, a great ice-cream shop and a deli, among others. The... more

We've stayed here many times and never been dissapoitned. It has direct beach access in a quiet community. It is located at the East End of the island which is the best end. Great for old time family fun at the best prices around. You can try to request certain units. C-49 is the best- except if you have children-... more
