Rebuilt post-hurricane so brand new throughout. Our suite was a good size and well-equipped, power blinds, nice balcony. Excellent bed and bedding. Dante’s - which a little cold and noisy - the only dining option when the Tiki bar had a private event and the Tiki bar closes at 7 in any event. Very pleasant and helpful staff. An excellent coffee service at the reception. I would come back!

We had an amazing time at The Sanibel Inn. From the front desk staff to the bar tenders and on site property managers we give it a 10/10. The rooms were very clean and staff came in daily to bring clean towels and make the bed etc. The property is extremely well maintained and clean. The bikes were an extra bonus! The very best experience we’ve ever had at a hotel/ resort. We will be back!
