    “Enjoy the sun and surf”

    Sanibel Sunset Beach was a very good motel resort. That it is right on a lovely, uncrowded part of the beach and has a good pool on premises afforded us the relaxation we were looking for. The free bikes were good, not great, as was the breakfast of bagels, juice, and donuts. The rooms are kept beautifully by an attentive and helpful staff. The people who worked in the office were friendly and made the stay comfortable as well. It's not fancy or luxurious, but it's a wonderful, affordable place to plant yourself for 3 or 4 days.

    “Comfy room 30 steps from the beach....”

    We chose this hotel on Sanibel for its beach access. We've been to Sanibel several times but never stayed on the island before - we wanted the luxury of being able to get up at sunrise and walk on the beach, or even see the sands by moonlight. This hotel easily offered that, with free chairs and umbrellas to boot. The room was nice enough, and the hotel is making an effort to go "green", which is nice for the eco-conscious. Sanibel is a small island, so the hotel is pretty close to everything - just bear in mind that the island is place for peace, nature, and sunny beaches - not wild nightlife and a party atmosphere. I definitely would stay at this hotel again.

    Had a great time, hotel staff was extremely helpful and very accommodating. Pool was absolutely wonderful, just steps to the beach. Had everything we could possibly need.
