A really good looking resort. A great place to stay - directly on the beach with a great coffee shop and burger restaurant that we used whilst we were there! Easy to find, all the staff were fabulous and nice to have a daily housekeeping service as the sand gets everywhere! Check-in was easy and managed to get a room a little early which helped us get more time on the beach and in the hammocks.

Perfect stay! In the top 2 of our 9 hotels we stayed in on our road trip. Can't rate it highly enough.
Huge and comfortable bed, modern and clean fitments and furniture, doors to parking and to the pool.
Only a few minutes from the beach down a path across the road. Easy to find and in a quiet area.
Doesn't break the bank and will definitely use again.

This hotel was devastated by the hurricane a while back but has been totally restored and is spot on.
Staff were extremely friendly and helpful.
Breakfast was well above average with plenty of choice and the all day coffee and tea perfect.
Only downside is that there could do with a bit more shade around the pool area.
Loved it!

The property was spotless and full of little extras that we didn’t expect and hadn’t experienced before in other places we have stayed. The apartment was in the perfect location and had a spectacular view of the beach and the incredible sunsets. The staff were so welcoming and made the stay even better. We would recommend this property without reservation.

Pocket Guide: Florida Sanibel Captiva Island Hotels
Find Hotels by the Sea on the Islands of Sanibel and Captiva
Sanibel Island and Captiva Island form a crescent of land that curves around the Southwest Florida coast; accommodation here comes with uninterrupted views of the Gulf of Mexico. Choose from luxurious spa resorts, cheap hotels and smart inns with beach access. You’ll find also motels shaded by groves of palm trees, cottages and beachside condos.
Things to Do on Sanibel and Captiva Islands
Sanibel and Captiva are linked by a road that runs along the length of the crescent. Together, these two islands make up one of the most desirable and picturesque destinations in the Fort Meyers area.
Swap the towns of the mainland for scenic coastal areas where you can spend days on shell-scattered beaches such as Tarpon Beach and Lighthouse Beach. Enjoy water sports on the tranquil waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Hire kayaks and paddle around the coast or try out stand-up paddleboarding. You can also go kiteboarding or parasailing from the beaches of Sanibel and Captiva. For something a little more sedate, join a quiet cruise at sunset to experience the Gulf at its most serene.
Natural Attractions on Captiva and Sanibal
The islands of Sanibel and Captiva are home to several wildlife preserves. J. N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Preserve is a biodiverse swath of swampland that is frequently visited by rare migratory birds. This vast mangrove ecosystem is home to more than 245 species of bird, as well as the tropical plants that grow throughout the reserve. Keep your eyes peeled for the region’s reptiles in the park – you might spot alligators, tortoises and salt marsh snakes lurking in the undergrowth.
Buck Key Preserve features a kayaking trail for intrepid adventurers. Paddle through the mangrove tunnels and look for dolphins feeding in the shadows. Pine Island Sound Aquatic Preserve, at the entrance to Sanibel Island, is another exhilarating place for kayaking excursions. You could be joined in the waters by manatees, otters, herons and more.
With a good range of hotels, beaches and attractions, Sanibel and Captiva are a real gem of Southwest Florida.
