“CASA YBEL PERFECT”

We have stayed all over Sanibel and Captiva from modest to South Seas Plantation. Wish we had found Casa Ybel first, all the rooms have great views of the beach, this place is also right on the beach with no obstacle coarse of dune foliage between the resort and the beach. Casa Ybel is also one of the very few properties with a great pool area and a great pool bar/ resturant. We also cannot say enough about the food at the Thistle Lodge,, it was world class!!!! We loved this property so much we purchased a timeshare there. You will love it!!!!

“Great place, great location...”

Been to a number of places on Sanibel, and this was our favorite. Coconuts and The Thistle Lounge are a great asset to this resort.

“Perfect!!!!”

Casa Y Bell resort was perfect in every way, clean, well appointed rooms, with awesome views, privacy, exceptional staff. Beautiful manicured grounds, sparkling pool, and a beach of your dreams. Quiet and relaxing. I would recommend a suite on the first floor to those who have trouble climbing stairs.

“Casa Ybel”

Great Hotel, Staff was very considerate and willing to go out of their way. Bring your own liquor and beer and stock up your fridge in your room, because its $10 per drink at the pool-side Coconuts bar and $4 per beer. Other than that, a great time and a very peaceful relaxing resort.

“Sanible, God's gift to us.”

My husband and I went to Sanibel for just a few days for some R&R. We had some rain storms everyday which help us relax just that much more. Waking up at sunrise, walking the beach with our coffee and tea was refreshing and romantic. After your first 15 minutes on the beach you know why everyone is doing the Sanibel Stoop. We meet a young couple who didn't know that sanible was know for its shells, needless to say by the end of our trip the young lady said "I can't stop picking up shells". We went to see the Bailey's Musuem. Well worth the trip. Bowman beach was seculded and lighthouse beach makes very secenic pictures. The peacefullness of Sanibel certainly makes you want to go back. Nature reserves are part of the island. Between the sunshine, beautiful beaches, warm rain storms, and wildlife you know God has given us all a gift to treasure.

“Very relaxing - great location!”

My wife and I spent three nights at Casa Ybel, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The screened porch was wonderful, and the spacious kitchen/living area made for a comfortable stay. We rented cabana and chairs on the beach, and purchased food from Jerry's Market for convenient meals. The resort wasn't too crowded, which was the best thing. Spent days on the beach - perfect relaxation for us. Highly recommend going there, in the spring (before weather gets too hot), and NOT over school breaks.

“Great Experience”

Everyone was friendly and the room was kept very clean. We had an awesome view of the gulf from our room.

“Good location”

Service was mediocre. Waitress had an attitude at the bar and people were late for work checking out towels and beach equipment. There were unexpected costs for beach chairs and bicycles.

“Was nice. Would look to other options”

Hotel was older but kept up. Room was nice and clean. Room did not have a direct view of the ocean because of large trees in the way. Tennis courts were nice and free of charge.Pool was large and well maintained. Asked about a late check out because of a later flight and was offered a 1/2 day rate of $100 to stay until 3pm? Never heard of such a request for an additonal 3 hours. Did not eat pool side or resturant. Found most places on the island to priced the same and food just ok.

“Best Hotel on Sanibel”

Casa Ybel is the best hotel on Sanibel Island. Hands down. It's worth every penny. Unlike the other hotels that cram 10 rooms on a postage stamp piece of beach realty, at Casa Ybel you get space, space, space. If you want privacy, stay here. We originally checked in at another hotel and it wasn't what we expected. We're so glad we switched to Casa Ybel. Room rate was more expensive, but we actually had a net savings by eating in and using the outdoor grills and fully-stocked kitchen in our room to prepare meals instead of dealing with the crowds and 45-minute waits at the restaurants in town. Best restaurant in town: Over Easy Cafe. Breakfasts are amazing. Must try their homemade orange rolls!
