Our stay seriously marred by the uncaring attitude of Nan, who is Pres. of Kenoyer Real Estate, the booking company We arrived later than intended on Sun night to find the resort office closed and no information anywhere for us, although we had pre-paid over $900 for our stay. There was a pager # to call "in case of emergency".... More

like gas grills, sports equipment and bikes, usually charged extra at other similar locations. Quiet sunset facing right on beach, best value on Sanibel . Yes sizes of efficiency units are small, but try to find equal space for the same price anywhere on the island: you cant. As far as empty units, most are owned by timeshare owners and... More

We have been going to Caribe for over thirty years with our family timeshares. There are bigger and more glamorous resorts on the island, of course, but this location is a fantastic place to stay. The rooms are spacious enough. The one bedroom sleeps up to 6 but is comfortable with enough privacy for two. There are two washers and... More

We were driving along Sanibel and decided on a whim to check in to this resort after driving by and seeing they had a vacancy. It was 4 o'clock when we called and were offered a rate of $150 for a studio apartment for the night which is spectacular for high-season when most rooms are going for $300+/night. The room... More

We stayed here through our time share 6 years ago and loved it. Since then, we come back twice a year for a 1 week stay each time. Never able to get it through our time share again, but we just pay for it anyway. The location on the island is perfect, close to all. We always rent the Outrigger... More

This is our third visit to this charming hotel. The rooms have kitchen facilities, which is great to make your breakfast and any meal as its fully equipped. We had a room in the A block with a terrace, the place only has 20 rooms. Ask for a second floor studio,with sea view. You will be enchanted. This is a... More

Got a pretty good deal through AFVC for one week stay. First the negative - The resort is small, old and could use some upgrades to the furniture in the units, very very very small studio units, ok for 2 people max, very small bath rooms, has a murphy bed that is uncomfortable, we put the mattress on top of...

Yes, we are back for another two weeks at our favorite resort on our favorite island. For over 50 years we have been traveling and have found our home away from home. The studio units are ideal for couples that love quiet and enjoy viewing nature on this most beautiful island. Be sure to spend time visiting the J.N. Ding... More

This is an older property but it's evident that the staff works hard to keep it up. The grounds are very well kept and it's apparent that the units have been somewhat renovated. I say somewhat because there are a few other things they could do to improve upon the renovations they have completed so far. Like changing out the... More

This older resort is well maintained but in desperate need of updating. The grounds are spectacular "old school Sanibel", and the staff takes great pride in maintaining their little piece of heaven. I have come to Sanibel since childhood, and this resort appears to be one of the older cinder block motels that features those great natural sand paths through... More
