Our first time staying at Sanibel Beach Resort was a great stay. They are right on the beach, great pool, friendly staff and close to many shops and restaurants. Very clean and quiet resort. Found a package deal with airfare and a rental car. Room was very clean and everything looked brand new.

My husband and I stayed the week here and it was paradise. The pool area and restaurant/bar were well maintained with great service. Pictures don’t do justice to their beautiful area of palm trees, hammocks, and bean bag/yard games. Walk a few more steps to beach chairs available and the ocean. I do wish they had umbrellas for rent (you could buy them but we wouldn’t need it after we left). We rented bicycles nearby which was a great way to see the island, get coffee/lunch nearby. The BGBR restaurant at the resort had great food, coffee, and desserts. The mini burgers and truffle fries were my favorite. And the lava cake! They gave us a beach bag for collecting shells, and all staff members were helpful and courteous. We will definitely be back 🏖️☀️🌊

This is the nicest motel I have ever stayed in. (Let's be clear, this is definitely a motel, not a big "resort". But I don't hold that against the place.) Considering the entire area was hit by a strong hurricane a few months ago, you would never know it. The Sanibel Island Beach Resort seemed to be just fine! The location was easy - just after the causeway onto the island. The rooms were clean and well appointed. The pool area and tiki bar comfortable a cute. And the glorious beach was just steps away! It was a touch pricey, but affordable when compared to other properties on the island, right on the beach. I would definitely stay again!

Beach is great, pool is very good, and the rooms are clean though not spectacular. This was our first time visiting Sanibel since the hurricane, and I got the sense the island is still 6-8 months away from being back to normal.

Good hotel in a good location

Very nice hotel. Room was new and modern. It is setup with two floors and room door from outside. We didn’t use many of the onsite amenities so I can’t speak to much about that. We did go down to the beach and layout on the chairs and that was nice.
