    Perfection under the Sun

    Charm galore! Excellent, kind and attentive associates who went the next step to make our stay superb. The property is immaculate, the grounds are beautifully manicured, the beach is picture book perfect and our room was incredibly clean and comfortable, with a quiet nautical decor, fully stocked kitchenette with coffees, teas, sugars, dinnerware, etc. Did I mention free bicycles? This is a true resort maintained impeccably with a delicious restaurant on-site! We will be back!

    My happy place Sanibel Inn

    I call Sanibel Inn my happy place. We have been visiting since before the hurricane. Loved this place then & definitely now with the new rooms. We had stayed in a condo each time we visited but this time we opted to stay in a suite on the top floor (sadly no elevator) with a fantastic direct ocean view. We were on the end & had a beautiful view of the gulf. Our stay was only for 2 days so this was perfect. The bed was comfortable, there was a couch, chair, table & chairs in living room area. There was a small area with refrigerator, sink, dishes, toaster & coffee maker. We love the Tiki Grill & ate there once. The service was fast & food as always was delicious. Jorge took care of our needs on the beach. Jorge was friendly & helpful and took time to talk to us. We appreciated that. The front desk ladies were great. Once we got home, we planned another stay for August. Can't wait.

    TOP NOTCH!! The absolute best place!!

    We had the most amazing stay at the Sanibel Inn and cannot wait to go back!! We had the pleasure of being greeted by Gail at check in. Gail was so kind and offered such a warm welcome! The beach is so beautiful, clean and relaxing. Everyone who helped us with beach chairs and umbrellas were all so nice and personable! Especially Frank, Jorge, EJ and Mamuka. The pool is so comfortable and peaceful and the Tiki Bar was awesome for lunch. We went to Dante’s twice and got takeout one night. The food is incredible!! The pizza is the absolute best!! If you are looking for a relaxing, clean, beautiful resort look no further than the Sanibel Inn. It has everything!! Next level customer service, everyone we encountered was so polite, friendly and professional. We cannot wait to go back!
