Sanibel Inn, Sanibel

I had the best time here...Me n my family took a weeks vacation here and it was so peaceful and enjoying..We are definately going back

We had a wonderful time at Sanibel Inn this year. The property was simply beautiful. We truly enjoyed the beach, pool, pool bar, tennis courts, restaurant, and bicycles. This is the nicest location on Sanibel Island and we truly recommend the 2-bedroom, 2-bath condos. They are the best value on the island. We cannot wait to return later this year!

Lovely small hotel, extremely well kept clean rooms/property, pleasant/helpful staff and best of all...seeing dolphins in the morning from our balcony. There are plenty of excellent restaurants along Periwinkle Way that are very reasonably priced. My husband and I both agreed it was the perfect place for our honeymoon.

Sanibel Inn is a place I have gone since I was a teenager. This year I brought my son. The hotel staff was so helpful and bent over backwards to help us with anything we needed. We bought steaks, chicken and fish from Jerry's and grilled out almost ever night on the hotels gas grills, so pack your spatula and spices. We had an upstairs gulf front room which was so nice. Request this room. The microwave and little fridge were were perfect to steam veggies and to keep our fruit and water cold. I would not recommend the Mermaid Kitchen to anyone.

Lots of traffic in this area of the island. Also, the beach at the Inn is hard packed, not the soft sand that you get at the other end of the Island (closer to Captiva Island). I took my family (with two young sons) to Sanibel Inn at the end of March 2005. Knowing that the island had been hit hard by a hurricane the previous summer, I took the trouble to call the Inn to be sure that the Inn was fully operational with all repairs completed. I was assured by the person at the front desk that this was the case. What I arrived to was a construction zone, not a vacation resort. Every building at the Inn was under construction except for the buidling that my family was staying in along with a few other duped out-of-town travelers. The worst part was that the Inn was totally unapologetic and, despite the obvious inconvenience to its guests, was still charging full price for rooms and charging for bikes and lounge chairs. I stayed 2 nights and then checked out to spend the rest of my vacation at a resort that was not under construction.

I have been going to the Sanibel Inn since I was about 6 years old. I have gonerip tho back almost every year since. I love the staff, and the atmosphere. I am planning a trip this fall and can't wait
