We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights, which was just enough. The hotel and the location are very nice. The grounds are beautiful! We enjoyed all of the flowers, ponds, and of course, the beach. The pool is small, but is very nice and warm. The bar is expensive ($18 for two drinks!), so we really didn't go there at all.
The beach at Sanibel was a blast! Shelling was excellent, and the water was clean (except for some sea grass) and warm. The hotel has free beach chairs for guests to use, which was very much appreciated. The beach was never crowded, either, which was great. The beach itself was impeccable, perfectly clean with unbelievably soft sand.
Unfortunately, our room was quite a disappointment. It was very small, and had a tiny table with two chairs. That was all for extra seating. For our family of 4, it was definitely too small for any more than a few nights. Also, we had to have two cots in our room, and the hotel charges $15 per cot per night, which added $90 to our three-night stay.
The employees at the hotel are very friendly and helpful. Lisa (I think that was her name) was especially nice. She even warned us about mosquitoes when we checked in! We didn't think they were that bad, we had a few in our room the first night (along with a little lizard), but that's about it.
If you have a family of 3 or more, and are staying in Sanibel for more than a few nights, I would recommend that you find a different place to stay. However, if you are looking for a nice place to stay for a shorter time, or if you have a smaller party, then this hotel will be perfect. Just make sure to get a room in the building that is closest to the beach and pool!
