Sanibel Island Beach Resort
Have stayed at this hotel about 3 o 4 times and it never disappoints. Very laid back the staff is excellent, the location is perfect. Really nothing bad to say.

Lani Kai Beachfront Resort
Room, staff and beach were terrific. Now to the negatives. The hotel charges $20 a day for guests to park which in itself is offensive. The general public (non guests) can park in the hotel parking lot as well for $20. So non guests pay the same amount to park as guests and take up parking spaces ...
