Top Sanibel Hotel Reviews

Sanibel Island Beach Resort

Sanibel Island Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"Refurbished bathroom was awesome. Good bed! Nice pool snd great access to beach."

Shalimar Beach Resort

Shalimar Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"The rooms were lovely and well appointed. The linens were not soft, but the beds were clean and the mattress was very comfortable. The lounge chairs have no cushions and it made it difficult to spend time at the pool sunning. I was told by the manager they have been ordered. The rooftop could use more furniture aside from two benches. All in all, it was a fun few days despite cloudy weather and a drizzly day. No fault of the Shalimar Resort."

Kona Kai Motel

Kona Kai Motel

10/10 Excellent

"This was the most beautiful place I have ever stayed at on vacation if you were ever on Sanibel Island this is the place to be. It’s very quiet. Everyone has their own little cottage thing and it’s decorated like a tiki hut village. It’s very cute. The air conditioner worked amazingly it was just a beautiful place to stay. It was very well priced and the staff was amazing."

Sanibel Inn

Sanibel Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I had an outstanding experience at this hotel. The staff were incredibly friendly, professional, and always willing to help. The room was spotless, spacious, and very comfortable, with all the amenities needed for a relaxing stay. The location was perfect, close to major attractions and convenient transportation. The breakfast was delicious with a great variety of options. Every detail exceeded my expectations, and I truly felt welcomed throughout my stay. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort, quality service, and an unforgettable experience. I will definitely stay here again!""

Sanibel Siesta on the Beach

Sanibel Siesta on the Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The apartment was gorgeous. The staff are very accommodating and super friendly. The property is amazing. Perfect time of the year because it wasn't crowded. Would highly recommend. Only complaint was that Expedia charged a cleaning fee, but then didn't pay it out to the rental property. We ended up having to pay the cleaning fee again after checking out."

Sundial Beach Resort & Spa

Sundial Beach Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"I stayed at this property with my husband for almost a week. Super quick walk to the beach from our room and the hotel provides chairs and umbrellas. Our favorite amenity was the bikes that they let you check out. We rode the bikes all over the Island and it was wonderful. The staff refreshed our towels every day while we were out so that was really nice to come back to. The only negatives are that there was only 1 mirror in the room and it was in the bathroom and the TV was hard to navigate at first. Other than that, we really enjoyed our stay at Sundial."
