Had a most excellent stay. Fantastic location, beautiful setting, friendly and helpful staff, and fun, useful amenities. We loved it and had a wonderful visit. Mahi sandwich at the onsite Tiki hut was top notch as well. We'll be back!
We had an amazing stay at Sanibel Inn! The grounds are absolutely beautifully maintained! The rooms are very clean. The view is beautiful and peaceful. The biking is wonderful. Can’t say enough good things. We will be back.
What can I say? This place was absolutely amazing! It was very quiet and very clean, the staff was very friendly! I would highly recommend and I would definitely stay again. Just pack the bug spray for the beach!
Staff was excellent, Gail was very welcoming and helpful at the front desk. The room was clean, amenities were excellent m, enjoyed kayaking and paddle boarding plus the chairs and beach toys were nice to have readily available.
We had a room in the hotel and also a condo. We were welcomed very cordially and every staff member was helpful. Both properties were well maintained. We definitely plan to return.
Rebuilt post-hurricane so brand new throughout. Our suite was a good size and well-equipped, power blinds, nice balcony. Excellent bed and bedding.
Dante’s - which a little cold and noisy - the only dining option when the Tiki bar had a private event and the Tiki bar closes at 7 in any event.
Very pleasant and helpful staff.
An excellent coffee service at the reception.
I would come back!
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!
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with any questions. The location was convenient, and the amenities made the stay even more enjoyable. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and pleasant experience.
