    I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with any questions. The location was convenient, and the amenities made the stay even more enjoyable. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a comfortable and pleasant experience.

    Check-in was a breeze. The room was exceptionally clean with appliances to include an ice maker. Only thing to improve on is to assign parking spots per building as we had to park at another area as all the parking was taken. Dante’s restaurant had pleasant staff but the breakfast was nothing special and we opted not to have breakfast a second time.

    On the beach and close to restaurants.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The accommodations were perfect. The room had kitchenette with everything we needed. The view was truly the best and the water just what I remember as a child visiting Sanibel and Captiva. The check in process was seamless. They gave us info about the resort and the area which no other location does. It’s either electronic or using scanner codes. The stag was very friendly and accommodating! The beach guys for our chairs and umbrella were so pleasant and polite! So very rare to see. We ate at tiki bar and that too was excellent. We loved the tranquility and the privacy! Excellent for families or couples. I will definitely be returning to this resort. Thank you for a lovely stay.

    The beach chairs are also free. The beach is excellent seen a pod of dolphins swimming rite by shore. Found some cool shells but all in all not the shelling we expected. Dantes restaurant is at best 3 stars. No real chef. Frozen fish not fresh. The pizza was ok. The mussels should absolutely b taken off the menu. ( Dante’s is not owned by the resort) if it was I’m sure it would b a lot better. The restaurant itself is an awesome building that’s the best I can say about that. Breakfast was ok at Dante’s but expensive for breakfast

    Rooms were modern and very clean. Room cleaning comes everyday if wanted, which is nice. The hotel is pretty central to everything you could want to do. Bikes and all water activities are at no extra cost and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Wonderfull pool bar with drinks and food. Beach is beautiful!

    We booked this trip for complete rest and relaxation after losing my mother recently. This exceeded our expectations! We would highly recommend everything about this resort!

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Great hotel, wonderful staff & grounds well maintained. Lovely, spacious room with large bathroom, full kitchen, balcony overlooking the Gulf. Easy walk to pool & Gulf beach, nice bar with food available, wonderful staff who set up beach chairs with umbrellas. Had an outstanding time & was sad to leave.

    Pro-tip for venturing off the resort: bikes are available for rent (free), but there aren’t very many places within close walking- or biking-distance, especially with the heat and humidity. Highly recommend renting a car if you’re planning on doing any shopping or adventuring (Blind Pass Beach on Captiva was absolutely amazing and The Bubble Room has excellent food and was fun to visit.)

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Location was great. Rooms were clean and fresh Restaurant was understaffed

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Property was great and our accommodation was perfect for our family. Only one complaint was that the hotel did not have enough beach chairs to accommodate the number of guests.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    We enjoyed having the beach chairs and umbrellas on the beach for us. No worries about paying or reserving. They even provide bicycles to ride around the island. It’s really clean and the staff is great.
