We had an amazing time at The Sanibel Inn. From the front desk staff to the bar tenders and on site property managers we give it a 10/10. The rooms were very clean and staff came in daily to bring clean towels and make the bed etc. The property is extremely well maintained and clean. The bikes were an extra bonus! The very best experience we’ve ever had at a hotel/ resort. We will be back!

Great location and beautiful hotel! So many options to do and see. The mattress needed to be turned as it had a big lump in the middle which made for horrible sleep but that won’t deter me from going back. I definitely will go back! We had a great time!

Nothing we didn't like. Room was clean and well maintained. Bathroom and kitchenette were both very nice. A 2-3 minute walk from our room to our lounge chairs on the beach. Beautiful water and sand. Pool also very nice even though it was pretty warm most days. But that's to be expected in August in Florida. Poolside tiki bar had cool bartenders and a nice happy hour. Highly recommend.
