Nice stay for our family of 6. Played pickle ball and used the pool daily. Lots of seashells and dolphins from the beach. Sanibel is a nice break from the built up parts of Florida. Groceries and restaurants nearby. Bike paths from sanibel to captiva. Would stay again.

Great location and fabulous pool. No bikes. Bring your own rackets and balls. Strangely possessive of cheap towels. Pulled us out of out chairs 30 min before sunset

very clean nicely decorated and comfortable rooms, nicely appointed. resort is quiet and well spaced. pool is very nice, beachfront accommodations, nice new pickleball and tennis courts are plentiful and available for use. restaurant is a bit pricey, but the food is good. bar is nice, but again a bit pricey. Dinner or lunch one day is worth doing. local bike trails easy to pick up and extensive. The Dong darling refuge is a nice 15 mile round trip from local bike rental shop, which is just about a mile away. very nice stay. quiet vibe, a little music pool side would add to atmosphere. Beach is nice and offers miles of walking.

Room was amazing! Their video on their site is pre Hurricane Ian so don’t expect it to be like that ! Lots of devistation but they are working to bring it back. Most staff was nice , the front office staff were snotty and not helpful at !! Location on the beach is amazing! Sanibel / Captiva have captured my heart and I can’t wait to return. I’d stay there again .

We loved our stay. I was a bit disappointed that when they put in all the new furnishings some of it was kid of junky or not installed well including bedside table drawer kept falling off. Cabinet in master bath was not lined up. One of bathroom barn sliding doors was very hard to slide. I would have expected the brand new furnishing to have been installed much better than that.

No management at all on weekends, so if you have complaints they tell you there is no one to help you. This is not hotel level service. No one told us we had to reserve beach chairs and umbrellas for the beach, and they were sold out for our entire stay. Also we ran out of towels for shower, and called at 4 pm and they said no clean towels until the next day. Way too expensive for this lack of service. They advertised bike rentals, but it’s from an outside service that you rent on your own. Advertised cots, but again from an outside service that you rent on your own. They advertise pool side bar, but it’s no longer there.

Beautiful family friendly beachfront resort.

Both the staff and resort were wonderful. Very clean place. Staff at the hotel, restaurants and pool were all very sweet and helpful. Would highly recommend this resort for families as the units are spacious, have full kitchens, and an outdoor screened in porch. The only negative was that the beach chairs are not included in the stay. You would need to rent them daily or by the week or get your own beach chairs and umbrellas from a local shop and bring them to the beach. Even with that being said, it is a wonderful place to vacation and definitely somewhere we would stay at again.
