Stayed at Casa Ybel for a week after the hustle and bustle of Disneyworld!!

Wonderful....very laid back and relaxing. No problems....just sun, sand, beach and pool!
The pool bar was good for lunch and we ate at the Thistle Lodge a couple of times which I highly recommend!
The maids did a good job of keeping the apartment clean.

When I got home I realized that I'd left my prescription sunglasses behind in the room. I called reception and they had found them and are mailing them back to me as I write this!
What great service!
This was our third stay there and it won't be our last!

My wife and I just returned from a 7 day stay at Casa Ybel. It was our second time here. The location and beach were great. Loved starting and finishing each day on the lanai, can't beat the view! Staff met all my expectations, they were responsive and polite. We had lunch at the pool bar one day and ran up from the beach for drinks another. Refreshing! The bartender was always good for a few jokes. We had no problems with the room, it was very clean and our one request for more towels had housekeeping knocking at our door in about 10 minutes. We are already planning our next trip to Sanibel and Casa Ybel.

The good reviews we read on this site convinced us to book Casa Ybel for our 10 day break on Sanibel. We wanted a laid back break close to the beach with facilities to suit our 2 boys, 8 and 4.
We were not disappointed. The staff were very friendly and attentive, and nothing was too much trouble. The apartment although small by Florida standards (but not by Sanibel standards) was kept immaculately clean, and was well equipped.
We did not eat much at the bar as we found the prices a little toppy. It was far easier to stock up at Jerrys supermarket at the end of the road, and to go out for occasional meals at the Lazy Flamingo or the Mad Hatter.
There were plenty of weddings going on during our stay, as it spanned Memorial weekend, and there were a large number of big groups staying. This made for a lively atmosphere, but it was fascinating to meet people from all over the US.
We will definitely be visiting again.

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 directly in front of our unit with just a phone call in the morning. We will definitely return either with or without our children!
