The Sanibel Inn offers a delightful stay with attentive staff and stunning views. The room was clean but had a musty odor that could be bothersome. The facilities are well-kept, and the tiki bar is a fun addition, though the dining experience could use some improvement. Overall, it's a lovely place close to the beach with good amenities, but the room's smell and some service inconsistencies are issues to note.

I had an amazing stay at this resort! The beach was stunning and not overcrowded, which made for a peaceful experience. The room was spacious with a great kitchen setup, but there was a slight smell that could be improved. The staff was incredibly accommodating and helpful throughout my visit. Overall, this place offers great value for a beachfront getaway.

My stay at Sanibel Inn had its ups and downs. While the grounds and ocean view were beautiful and well-maintained, the room left much to be desired with a musty smell and some dated furnishings. The staff was responsive when needed, but certain interactions could have been more pleasant. Overall, I appreciated the location and amenities, but I do think it needs some updates to fully meet expectations.

Rooms

The room was clean and comfortable, but had a strong musty smell when we first arrived. It included a screened-in terrace, but I found it a bit tired and could use some modern touches. The parking lot view wasn't ideal either.
Service

The service was mixed; while some staff members were very polite and attentive, others, particularly at The Tiki bar, left a lot to be desired in terms of attitude.

The location was fantastic, just steps from the beach, and the grounds were beautifully landscaped with tropical foliage. It provided a lovely view of the ocean, though some foliage blocked it slightly.

My mom and I had an incredible time at Sanibel Inn during our mother-daughter spring break getaway. The beach was phenomenal with plenty of sand for shelling, and we appreciated the free chairs and umbrellas. Our room was perfect for us, featuring a gulf view and necessary amenities. While the dining options were quite enjoyable, it would have been nice if the tiki bar stayed open later. Overall, this resort offers a great oasis with fantastic staff.
