Top Sanibel Hotel Reviews

The Anchor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Very quaint little motel, beautifully renovated, the king studio is very nice modern and elegant furnishings. Staff was very helpful and extremely polite. Self check in was very easy, once I read the message from the staff, everything you need is at the facility. Location is is perfect, midisland lots of restaurants within a 5 to 10 minute drive. We will definitely be staying here in the future. I highly recommend."

Island Inn

10/10 Excellent

"9.5/10. They just need a pool. Ken was great at checkin. Very friendly and informative. Our room was ready by 2pm. Location is awesome. Literally on the beach. The suite was clean and spacious. I mentioned it was a special occasion and they wrote me a personal letter w/ a bottle of champagne which came in handle for mimosas in the morning. Our only mistake was to book one night. We will be back!"

Casa Ybel Resort

8/10 Good

"Great place to stay. Always check your invoice because they had extra charges on my bill and place a huge hold on CC for deposit and takes time for return. It could be the bank too. They also charged me by error and refunded but still haven’t received after few days.the amenities were great and the beach! Also entrance with wood little bridge really scared us. I believe they fixed while we were there. Lots of bugs !! Maybe property should clean up trees and fumigate because we were bit by noseeums"

Rare Walkout Condo On Sanibel Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful condo! Just steps to the beach, was a perfect place for the kids to swim and search for shells. The unit was very clean and well appointed, had everything that we needed. Beds were very comfortable, and extra linens were available. We would absolutely stay here again!"

Amazing Direct Ocean Gulf Front Beach Views Condo, pool and hot tub are open!

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was clean and perfect for our needs. We enjoyed the beach view and easy access to the beach. Communication was always quick and helpful. I’ve already recommended it to others who have reached out about possibly visiting Sanibel"
