My husband and I spent 3 nights here in a beachfront suite. The view was beautiful from our enclosed porch! The suite was renovated and clean with service everyday. We spent the days on the beach shelling, and stopped by the pool bar in the evening. Joe the bartender was friendly and helpful. Loved the resort but the downside was... More

We did book a beach front suite and it was perfect, very quiet, clean,renovated, spacious for an older complex and a lovely, small screened porch with 2 chairs and a small table. We went for relaxation and peace and it was just outstanding. The... More

It was only a two day visit, but what a perfectly lovely place to spend it. The rooms were spacious and very comfy. Sweet little screened in balcony and a beautiful views. The staff couldn't have been more friendly. We'll certainly go back there next year.

This was our second stay at Sanibel Inn - the first was 10 years ago. The Inn and the entire island offer the perfect mix of activity and relaxation. Ding Darling did not have nearly close to the bird population it had 10 years ago - most likely due to visiting during different seasons (and perhaps still due to hurricane... More

We had a great holiday at the Sanibel Inn! The beach is outstanding and we spent most of our time on deck chairs under a shade umbrella. There was a constant breeze to cool you while searching for shells and the water was clear and warm. We had originally made a reservation for a beachfront suite, however when we arrived... More

The room was clean and appeared to be recently remodeled, though still far from new...missing the little touches such as the tp holder not installed correctly in... More

The hotel staff were courteous, friendly and helpful. Started out right with the check in. The lady at the desk asked if this was our honeymoon and when I replied it was our 33rd wedding anniversary and that we had never had a honeymoon or vacation alone, she gave us a bottle of wine "on the house" and wished us...

The hotel is well maintained, landscaping is gorgeous and the staff is friendly and helpful. We have stayed at a number of places on Sanibel over the past couple of decades and Sanibel Inn rivals any of them in location, facilities, staff and service.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Immerse yourself in nature at Sanibel Inn. The Inn offers a wide variety of accommodations and amenities surrounded by beautiful gardens and tropical palms. Come to Sanibel Inn to discover why Sanibel Island was just ranked #1 Favorite Worldwide Destination by Arthur Frommer and #5 Top US Beach by Trip Advisor. Just like the tropical flowers in the gardens, Sanibel Inn reflects the colors of the island. From the brightly painted exteriors to the warm soothing interiors of the guestrooms and suites, Sanibel Inn provides a relaxing and comfortable beach hideaway in one of the newly renovated guestrooms and one bedroom suites. Sanibel Inn also offers two-bedroom condominiums that are perfect for families or larger group of friends who wish to stay together. The Sea Star Café is located at the Inn and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner with traditional café fare with an island twist. Sanibel Island is all about nature. Discover nature up close by bike via the 22 miles of paved bike and walking trails. Visit J. N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge to see a variety of migratory birds and explore an undeveloped mangrove ecosystem. Take a walk on the beaches and find rare shells such as the Junonia or 200 other species of shells. Take to the waters of the Gulf by kayak for a different point of view. Feel like a friendly tennis match, Sanibel Inn has a newly refurbished court on the grounds of the Inn or visit The Dunes Golf & Tennis Club. Sanibel Inn guests are also invited to golf at The Dunes where the greens wind through 75 acres of natural lake view fairways and Audubon Cooperative Society wetlands. After a morning of exploration, unwind by the pool and bathe in the warm Florida sun. Just steps away, the Beach Bar offers cool libations and poolside snacks. Sanibel Inn offers a gateway to the various activities on Sanibel and the perfect spot for a relaxing day in the sun. ... more   less
