    great location

    Just a reliable pick for a holiday in Sanibel with great value for the money. The pool area and path to the beach were amazing. Bring your own umbrella for the beach!

    An Unforgettable Romantic Getaway!

    We celebrated my girlfriend's birthday with a blissful four-night stay. The proximity to the beach was perfect, only steps away from our beautifully decorated room. Highly recommend bringing bug repellent and exploring during the day. The food truck served delightful meals, making our experience even better!

    Fantastic location with great beach access

    The location is unbeatable with direct beach access and lovely grounds, making it perfect for a beach getaway. The complimentary beach chairs and towels were a nice touch, and the heated pool was great for relaxing after a day by the water. I recommend arriving early for the best shelling experience in the morning! However, the check-in process could use improvement. it felt a bit disorganized when we arrived.

    The Island Beach Resort offers a fantastic location with easy beach access and complimentary amenities such as high-quality beach chairs and towels. The staff was attentive and friendly, ensuring a pleasant stay. The free use of bicycles made exploring the area enjoyable, and the heated pool was a great way to unwind after work.

    The location was fantastic with easy access to the beach, and the high-quality beach chairs and luxurious towels made lounging by the shore a real treat. The staff was attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. However, the check-in process could use some improvement as it was a bit inefficient at the start of our visit.

    beautiful beach
    excellent service
    outdated room
    cleanliness issues
    lack of service

    Beautiful surroundings with a lovely beach that felt private and a well-kept pool area. The friendly bartenders at the pool bar provided excellent service, and the Neapolitan pizza was a delicious highlight. Unfortunately, the outdated room had cleanliness issues, including moldy shower curtains, and there was no beach service available, which was disappointing.

    service wait

    The beach access was beautiful, and the

    pool area was a great spot to relax. However, the wait for service at the Tiki bar was much longer than expected, which detracted from our overall experience.

    shaded seating
    pool area

    I absolutely loved the bright, tropical decor and the beautiful landscaping around the Sanibel Island Beach Resort. The easy beach access and gentle paths made it so convenient for seniors like me to enjoy the outdoors.

    Offer more shaded seating by the pool area.

    pleasant check-in
    beautiful pool
    finicky remote

    The check-in was quick and pleasant, and I really enjoyed lounging by the beautiful pool after a long day. I loved being steps away from the beach where I collected the coolest shells. The only hiccup was that the TV remote was a bit finicky, but it didn’t ruin my overall great experience. 🌴
