Check in was a breeze. Fin at the front desk was wonderful and super helpful. Room was nice, just a lot of noise in the unit (my personal opinion) and a lot of construction going on around the place - I wasn’t aware of this. Understandable now that I know the area is a lot of places reopening for the first time. The restaurant Dante’s, we went there our first night and it wasn’t a fun experience. Hour wait for our food and kids got food and ate, then my husband. Then me. Said was an issue in the kitchen - again fine stuff happens, but no one really apologized, no drink refills til we were about to leave, etc. service was not above and beyond like I feel you expect in an area like that. Food options on the island limited. Stuff available at the hotel limited. All in all, a nice location. Beach is fun for shells. Kids very much enjoyed the pool. Lot of the things we experienced circumstantial but colored my time there.

Easy to go to. Just beautiful! Everything we needed for a fun, relaxing family getaway. The feel of the island is relaxed and laid back, but there are enough things to do and see to keep everyone busy. Lots of restaurants and activities easy accessible from the hotel, but you could easily make a day at the hotel with beach, pool, tiki bar, and restaurant all right there. The grounds are gorgeous. The rooms are luxurious and clean.

Our stay at Sanibel Inn was wonderful. The property was clean. The pool was lovely. The food at the restaurant by the pool was also lovely. The property was almost complete post hurricane damage. Would love to stay there again. Our favorite thing was the bike rentals. We rode all over the island.

It was our first trip to Sanibel and we (husband and me) really found a great place. The Sanibel Inn accommodations were very nice and the staff was excellent. The beach is right there with anything you need. Chairs, umbrellas, paddle boards are delivered to you on the beach. And the tiki bar by the pool and beach insures you never go hungry or thirsty. You don’t need to leave the property if you don’t want to. They really did a nice job remodeling the property and grounds after the hurricane. Will definitely be back.

We were so pleased with the Sanibel Inn. Unfortunately, we were only there for 24 hours but everything was just so nice. We loved every detail of the thoughtful renovation from the floors to the ceiling! We plan to go back and spend more time there!

This room/building was not in good shape and it was certainly not ready to be rented out: 1- floors were dirty the moment we walked in 2- elevator down for the duration of our stay 3- a/c went out our last night. Offered a seperate room but 2 family members were already asleep so tried to sleep with balcony doors wide open 4- hot water out for the first day 5- blinds broke upon first use. Staff couldn’t fix 6- main entrance door would not lock from the outside (door frame needed adjustment) 7- constant construction (somewhat expected) peaked our last day there with incessant banging on our ceiling 8- cleaning staff were inconsistent with toilet paper/towels/etc 9- the blinds were basically see through letting all the light from the next building over in at night 10- items in room Not put together (examples: TV wall mount units on the dressers, no phone, lamp on floor) 11- restaurant closed On positive notes - the grounds/landscaping was nice - they provided bug spray (we still got eaten up) - maintainence staff and hotel personal were personable and kind - tiki bar staff were all great - proximity to beach was great - love the screened in balcony (wish it had a light) - toward the end the owner was responsive to our concerns and made some financial restitution for our inconveniences. Hiven even more issues after our discussion, it was not sufficient enough for us to recommend or return at this time I can’t ever remember having so many issues with a vacation rental
