Overall a nice place to stay. Not really sure what our resort fee was for as there were no canopy umbrellas, bikes, or tennis courts as pictured on the website. Staff did upgrade us to a better room upon check in and all were friendly.

Everything was very good except arriving very late and finding that the shower was broken. It was fixed as soon as we asked the next morning, but didn't appreciate starting my visit without a shower after a super long drive. The room should have been inspected before assigning it to us.

easy access to all of the amenities, comfortable rooms that were attractive and clean. Variety of menu options at all meals. We could've never left the property and had a great vacation. The noseeums was the only problem we had. Although our bug spray said deters noseeums, we were eaten alive on the beach. Pants and sleeves at sunset. We will be back. Thanks for a great fall break experience.

Our fantastic stay started before we even arrived! We received a message that stated if we were in the area early, to come by and check in. If our room was not ready they would give us resort passes until it was. Before we had even finished lunch, our room was ready—- about 4 hours early. The communication and the fact that a hotel did this was such a pleasant surprise. Of course we just dropped off our luggage and went straight to the beach. No need to pack beach towels, lounging chairs or even a shell bag. Just pack some sunscreen and bug spray. Restaurant service and food was good. For breakfast, it is more like a cafe. We grabbed our coffee and breakfast sandwich and headed straight to the beach. For lunch the day before, I had a Sonoma Salad, it included fresh grilled chicken. It was very well presented and delicious. My husband had a burger which he said was very good. I would highly recommend the stay here! Easy beach access, parking is included (public beaches on Sanibel charge $5 an hour and from what I read, you need to get there early) Tons of shells and good memories.

But guess what if you cancel you lose 1/2 the money. ... so yeah they should change the name to Sanibug island ..Not Happy...and if i don't hear from somebody soon this review has just began Respectfully submitted Rj Corio
