Sanibel hotellia

Plussat: The bed is great, love the kitchen and the fact there is a kettle. Lovely and clean. Love that bikes are available to use as part of the stay

Plussat: Location was perfect - quiet end of the island

Plussat: The property is lovely. They provide everything you need, except soap.

Miinukset: The air conditioner was continually running and very loud. Hard to sleep. The bed had a super soft mattress.

Plussat: Conveniently located by the Sanibel pier and lighthouse, free use of bikes to ride around the area and the sweetest nicest Host ! I stayed in the smallest room and it was charming !well stocked of everything you possibly need kudos for the carrier to bring to the beach with chairs , cooler and beach floats available for guest use , even a nice grill also has right across the property a great ice cream shop and Great breakfast/ lunch restaurant so convenient , you may bike around to find more great restaurants and shops very close by .... this place has all needed to have the best time in Sanibel

Miinukset: No complaints expect those that have sensitive nose might not like a little musky scent , I noticed but was okay with it , not the fault of the property but the county was doing repairs and loud maintenance in front of the property by 8 am , some people might find that too early, I was already up but was surprised by loud noises

Plussat: The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was immaculate. The lady at the desk even updated my room to a full kitchen w/o having to ask. Free bicycle loan. Beach chairs and towels at no extra cost. Kitchen included all utensils and pots and pans! I was very pleased w/the room and definitely will be going back in the future!

Miinukset: The only thing I didn't like, there wasn't a swimming pool!

Plussat: Lovely location and quaint.Dawn was absolutely amazing

Plussat: All the resort are independant condos, where properties are managed by the Sanibel Moorings company. Every room is different.Mine was 1041, with 2 bedrooms. I loved the near walk to the beaches, which are quite clean and perfect for families. The property has magnificent gardens. I saw bunnies, small lizards, and a beautiful array of plants. This property has a certified botanical garden. Stores are near, but you can't get food from them to your house. You have a laundry room, though it's a bit expensive to use. The managment is good, at first it sounds as they are always in a hurry to attend to you, but it must be their rithym, to which I am not used. Mr. Bill was attentive, and upon my requests he was very kind. Kitchen is quite complete, though if you want more detailed food you should get some cooking implements. Bathrooms are good, and work well. The Condo provides chairs etc for the beach. Buildings haver 2 floors, (1 ground, one upstairs, no elevator)

Miinukset: My condo, N 1041, had AWFUL beds!!!! Air conditioning made quite a loud noise during the nights. But it's very neccesary during summer days. Internet is not good in the island! No smoking anywhere in the full condo, so if you smoke you need to go to the street. Parking place was not very near from the house door but nothing to bother too much about. Odd stuff: Beaches have fisherman where you bath ???? Sorry but never seen that before. No breakfast available or any kind of dinner at the Condo.

Plussat: We liked the amenities that were included, the location, the grounds and our unit was welcoming. Good access to the beach and nice pools. Staff were helpful. Thankful for the prompt response when toilet leaked and broke.

Miinukset: One toilet ran constantly, started leaking, then broke. Still ran after repair. Ants throughout entire unit. One twin bed sagged—boxspring was broken — but our daughter didn’t want to complain so we weren’t aware of it til the last night and she slept on the couch.

Plussat: Beautiful and very clean

Miinukset: Everything was great

Plussat: Wonderfull location Friendly employees

Miinukset: App are big but old

Plussat: Close to everything

Miinukset: The only thing is that they charge for everything

Plussat: The condo we were assigned to was newly renovated. It couldn’t have been any nicer. When we return we plan to stay in the same condo.

Miinukset: Has to drive to restaurants which really wasn’t a horrible inconvenience

Plussat: Beautiful grounds. Ocean on one side and canal on other--both so close. I loved having the opportunity to canoe the canal.

Miinukset: Wifi was not very strong. We had difficulty getting it to stay connected some times. You need a stronger wifi.

Plussat: The property has two pools, free kayaking/canoeing in the canal system, private beach access and the entire property is a botanical garden with beautiful plants everywhere.

Plussat: We had a great beach view from our newly updated room.

Miinukset: The bikes that were available to rent were not maintained very well.

Plussat: Access to the beach was great and parking in covered garage with elevator was convenient.

Miinukset: The bed was too firm.

Plussat: Hotel was clean and rooms were nice

Miinukset: The restaurant was closed for the season, also there was Red tide happening this should have been disclosed.

Plussat: This was our first experience with Sanibel Island and Florida in general. We arrived after check in time, so our instructions and keys were left in a lockbox just outside the front office. Room amenities were wonderful for us and beyond expectations. Loved having a kitchenette in the room, so handy. The bed was very comfortable and plenty of pillows. TVs were quite up to date, I was able to connect my tablet and play movies I'd downloaded. Our screened in patio area, off our room was a pleasant surprise, and it was equipped with a table and chairs; a nice touch. We also had a view of the Gulf. All staff was always helpful and friendly. There are plenty of activities offered at the hotel, if you're interested. We went to one of the daily guided beach walks with a marine biologist from the Bailey Matthews Shell Museum. Sadly the actual museum was closed for renovations. We came for the shelling and did plenty of it. The guided walk was very informative and Toni was both knowledgeable, personable, and bubbly. The location of the hotel was very close to local shopping, both gift and grocery. Complimentary breakfast of coffee, croissants, hard boiled eggs, sliced fruit, various juices, and toasting station was just enough to start off on our days of shelling. We will be visiting again next year for sure. Hopefully we can bring more family next time. I highly recommend The Island Inn, it is a modern facility that is rich in history and charm. Perfect experience, we had a wonderful week.

Miinukset: There was nothing dissatisfactory about our visit. Everyone and everything exceeded my expectations.

Plussat: perfect location, nice amenities, comfortable bed

Miinukset: rooms are oddly laid out, additional charge for children staying in the same room

Plussat: Great location, the room was big and comfortable. Breakfast was really good. We would stay here again.

Miinukset: We could only stay one night :(

Plussat: Accommodations are awesome.

Miinukset: Breakfast was not appealing. Quality was poor. On site food option is weak link.

Plussat: The Island Inn is an incredible property with very few things to say other than WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Miinukset: Absolutely NO night life. If you are on a romantic vacation, Honeymoon, etc... PERFECT. If you are looking for the bar scene..... FORGET IT.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Breakfast was just ok

Plussat: Room was awesome, location was awesome, beach and amenities we're awesome!

Miinukset: Their restaurant was closed on Sundays, the day we wanted to eat there and get our complimentary drinks; however, the staff didn't tell us that upon check-in so we missed out.

Plussat: King size bed was amazing

Miinukset: Wish the bar / restaurant was less formal

Plussat: The staff was very accommodating, our suite was spacious and we loved our stay!

Miinukset: The tv adjusted the sound itself so it was very inconsistent. The bed and pillows were very hard.

Plussat: The breakfast was good. They had an area for grilling & an area for cleaning sea shells !

Plussat: The staff was very friendly. The room was clean and laid out nicely. The inn is right on the beach and well located on the island.

Plussat: Awesome location. Short walk or drive to almost everywhere on the island. Wonderful amenities. Very cozy, friendly atmosphere.

Plussat: Breakfast was simple but good...cereal, fruit, pastries, breakfast bars, spreads, milk and delicious orange juice.

Miinukset: Need more variety on the pastries...same bagels every day.

Plussat: Really on the beach

Miinukset: Air conditioning too loud

Plussat: I loved it. Everyone was great. The lady at the desk checking in was wonderful. Gave us all info we needed to get around.

Plussat: Location. Free bike rides and kayak rental. Plenty of beach towels. Heated pool. Washer and dryer on site. Outdoor shower and sink to rinse off sand and shells.

Miinukset: Location of room 114. Too much foot traffic. Got woken up multiple of times from people walking up the stairs to their 2 floor room and people walking pass the screen door with their suitcases. The workers on golf cart driving around was also loud.

Plussat: Staff especially friendly and helpful. Room very relaxing. Breakfast basket very nice!

Plussat: Nice Beach Access, The resort Fee was unexpected...

Plussat: The cleanliness and the breakfast/ snacks

Plussat: Very nice location directly at the beach. Wonderful staff and nice room with comfortable bed.

Miinukset: The AC was so loud that you have no chance of sleeping while it is on.

Plussat: Loved the beach and pool. The location was ideal. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Miinukset: Air conditioner way too loud.

Plussat: The cottage in which we stayed was so cute. It was clean, bright and nicely decorated. The beach was in the back yard with plenty of lounge chairs and there was a shaded area so you could still enjoy the beach and be out of the hot sun. There were also a few restaurants in walking distance.

Plussat: What I liked was that you had your own little apartment. And close to the beach

Plussat: We loved the convenience of the location. Small intimate place. Quiet. Our cottage was very close to the beach, so if we forgot something it wasn’t a pain to go back in get.

Miinukset: Office closes early. If you need something you have to go to the resort next store. Not that it’s a huge problem. Also, not a fault of the resort.. but there is some kind of bug that ate us up. So bring bug spray!

Plussat: It was absolutely perfect!!! The best location and facilities we have had ! I will be back again and again!!!

Miinukset: nothing!

Plussat: I love the staff “Mikayla”. She was friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Loved everything!!

Plussat: Very cute and clean

Miinukset: No seeums

Plussat: Service, clean, confortable

Miinukset: It would be nice to have the porch screened

Plussat: Right on the beach, excellent views. Great care is taken to ensure guests’ needs are taken care of, from shelling nets to beach chairs to laundry detergent.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Close to the beach. The cottage was set up real nice. Quite

Plussat: Best surprise of our holidays! We had a spacious house in front of the beach. We enjoyed the BBQs. There is plenty of space inside and outside and kids could get beach toys. Staff is brilliant and really helpful. We arrived after the check in time and found an envelope with keys and instructions. I definitely recommend this place.

Miinukset: Not so easy to find since you enter a private property

Plussat: Beautiful grounds, clean comfortable room, extra fluffy towels, and friendly staff.

Plussat: Great location, nice bike ride anywhere you want to go. Quite, clean stayed here many times before and will definately stay here again.

Plussat: Saff had a great attitude and was very helpful, location was excelent

Miinukset: Needs better seating , better beds. Could use updated paint in room. Needs computer station in office for printing boarding passes,directions etc...Back grass area could be better utilized possibly with a gazebo type area , seating and a barbeque area.

Plussat: You could walk to your shopping needs or take your car things very close..

Miinukset: The traffic getting out of here was a chore. I never see so many cars going somewhere all week long.

Plussat: quaint little bungalow type place that made you feel comfortable.. close to lots of good places..

Miinukset: we kept losing the Wi-Fi signal - and their information sheet didn't have the name spelled out correctly

Plussat: Absolutely amazing!! Unbelievable what this property looks like

Plussat: Loved the pool. the location was great and it was very clean

Plussat: Good location

Plussat: Everything warm and inviting snuggled in palm trees

Miinukset: Nothing really

Plussat: The beach is beautiful

Miinukset: The pool area

Plussat: Very friendly staff, clean, relaxed pool atmosphere with great poolbar, great location

Miinukset: Some facilities are in need of minor refurbishment and maintenance but this is being addressed on an ongoing basis.

Plussat: Food was good and the views are fantastic.

Miinukset: The drain in the tub was blocked and we had to stand in ankle + deep water. I said something do the front desk. They sent someone but they did nothing more than take the plug out but no difference. The door between the bedroom and the toilet was inoperable and left me disappointed. That is just embarrassing to anyone in bed while someone is using it. I mentioned that too to staff and they said we don't know unless someone tells us. Trust me they know and did nothing nor do anything to fix it. That is just downright not right. Privacy in the bathroom is a necessity and I found that unacceptable.

Plussat: Don’t have any thing bad to say everything was very very clean nice area was perfect

Miinukset: The stairs walking up and down me and my husband knees was hurting our legs was hurting so badly if we have to go on the top floor again we couldn’t do it it’s lots of older people’s a lot was complaining about the stairs it would be nice if they would consider elevervas

Miinukset: The air conditioner didn't work. I spent 1200 in three days but had no air the last night. They credited me $60. Lol

Plussat: Much larger room than we needed but was great

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Facility was fabulous. Very beautiful! Loved the beach and the ocean front view. Best place we have stayed in years! Staff was beyond helpful. Kind, courteous, efficient.

Plussat: The pool and the beach

Miinukset: There were cockoroches in the room and the bathroom

Plussat: Was there for a wedding and everything was lovely. Food was excellent. View from room was amazing. The room was very large and comfortable. Would definetely go back.

Miinukset: Only complaint was that I asked for room near my friend and they put her four buildings away (not far distance) but could have easily put her in same building.

Plussat: Breakfast choice was very good and plentiful. Room very spacious and clean. Staff were excellent Location very good.

Plussat: Very friendly staff, rooms were fine, great idea to offer bikes, canoes and paddles, but as we only stayed one night we didn't profit of it.

Miinukset: I have to yet understand the invoice, but will contact the hotel upon return. Also, I had booked a first floor room with part view of the sea and had a ground floor with garden view

Plussat: Property was like staying at a tropical paradise

Miinukset: Everything was absolutely perfect

Plussat: Loved our room which had a pool and partial beach view. Stunning grounds. Very clean. All staff were friendly and attentive. Dante’s do a great pizza! Loved the paddle boarding. Amazing beach with sun-loungers and parasols. A lovely simple breakfast included. A great relaxing 4 days especially with the stress of Hurricane Dorian. We will be back.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Loved the location and the breakfast was really good. However the rooms could use a few minor repairs and updates. Would definitely stay there again. The pool was great and clean. Loved having chairs and umbrellas already set up at beach and having beach towels was great. Staff was excellent. Very friendly. All in all, was a great stay. Thanks for having us.

Miinukset: There wasn’t an elevator and I was told when I booked it that there was. I’m a heart patient and an elevator would have been nice but I guess the steps gave me a workout that I needed.

Plussat: Very quaint old Florida charm. The location was excellent- right in the beach. Nice that you get the resort access to two properties in one. The pools are small but very clean and also there’s nice ledge on both of the pools that make it easy to read a book and swim. The breakfast was yummy and consistent and fresh. We loved eating on the little patio with a babbling waterfall in the background. Cookies in the afternoon were always delicious as well. It was also nice that you could take out bikes and kayaks an paddle boards at your leisure. The whole staff was super nice and welcoming. We loved Susie! It was also nice to get a complimentary bottle of lotion to ward off no see ums at sunset. We also loved having our own private balcony!

Miinukset: The beach was a little more cluttered - lots of mangrove pods. Also, we unfortunately lost power for a few hours one night - not the fault of the resort, but it made it a little hot. The furniture is a little dated, but honestly the bed was super comfortable which is our main priority! The bathroom was small but totally functional and cleaned daily which was lovely.

Plussat: The location was great. It was right on the beach.

Plussat: The location was great and the ocean was just gorgeous.

Miinukset: The front desk gentleman that says he's the manager has no customer service skills at all! You walked in the door he doesn't say welcome first thing he says what is your name and do you have a credit card! Bad Customer service can ruin a vacation!!

Plussat: Location to the beach and pool.

Miinukset: NA

Miinukset: Awesome atmosphere, great clean hotel very helpful service A++++++

Plussat: Loved how close it was to the beach.

Miinukset: Disappointed that the motel didn't have daily maid service.

Plussat: Location -- beach right there; everything else close by. Price -- right for value. Staff -- helpful and cheerful. We've been here before and will return. It's the perfect destination and experience for us.

Plussat: Big room, kitchen with all the necessities. Benches at the end of the beds for suitcases is really a great idea. Table for 4 and the decorations were nice. Swimming pool was really nice. Bathroom, shower was clean and nice. Overall a excellent place for vacation!

Miinukset: Sand fleas at the beach

Plussat: nice pool comfy bed nice and roomy

Miinukset: I asked for a mop for my room and that seemed to be a problem

Plussat: It was larger and nice than I expected with a fully equipped kitchen. We never even saw any staff. We arrived after the office closed, but they had a note with instructions for us. It was all good. Plenty of towels. Loved that there was a laundry room, I also loved that they seem to respect their guests enough to go by the “ honor system”. Very refreshing

Plussat: Small, Quite location, enjoyed the onsite kayaks to use in the canal on property.

Miinukset: The beach path across the street needs maintained. If you have a family member in a wheelchair they probably are not going to access the beach there.

Plussat: great location, clean, private

Plussat: STAFF WAS VERY FRIENDLY AND GREAT¸ Did have Washer and Dyer's on grounds that did a fantastic job on our clothes. Also handed out bags to collect seashells and the high and low tide guides which my husband and I loved extremely.

Miinukset: Was very very disappointed in our room. It was very clean, but outdated as can be. Looked like rooms I stayed in 40! years ago. In room Air Conditioner was portable units. Didn't do the best of job. Onsite eating was way over priced. No free meals.

Miinukset: The restaurant at the hotel was not too Good.

Plussat: Location was nice, restaurant was really good enjoyed the bikes and paddle boards they let us use free of charge. Pool was also nice.

Miinukset: Bed was very hard, but they did bring us a mattress pad when we complained. It did help some, bathroom in room very small.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: There was not much lighting that worked not enough outlets for devices

Plussat: Location, friendly staff, availability, perks

Plussat: Location, restaurant

Miinukset: Bed could have been better quality, AC old and noisy.

Plussat: Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Room was very spacious and clean. Bed was a little uncomfortable, but maybe just my personal preference. They offer free bike and paddle board rentals which is awesome. We rode the bikes to Ding Darling park, it was very close by via bike ride. Restaurant/bar can be updated, bar by the pool was decent, the bartender was nice. Resort is almost on the beach, less than one minute to walk to the water. Overall, completely satisfied!

Miinukset: Bed was not the most comfortable. Bar/restaurant a little dated.

Plussat: This was our 3rd trip to Sanibel and West Wind... I wouldn't stay anywhere else. The location is perfect, the setting is wonderful--relaxed in beautiful tropical paradise! The desk people were so very helpful, our rooms were clean, and the grounds immaculate! When planning this trip, I looked at other places to stay...I will always come back to West Wind!

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Everything was perfect, location to the beach, free use of bikes and paddlebosrds etc.

Miinukset: Room smelled a little musty.

Plussat: Great service. Clean. Beautiful location. Quiet

Miinukset: That we had to pay for beach chairs and umbrella rental. And that they ran out of them. Also bigger and thicker towels would be nice.

Plussat: Nice location close to the water

Miinukset: Beds were a bit uncomfortable, and were fulls instead of queens

Plussat: Location.......

Miinukset: Just needed a few more towels/wash cloths And wish there was a pool.

Miinukset: I have a service animal. I filtered pet friendly when I booked. Two days into the visit I received a call from the manager stating that the property was not dog friendly and I would be charged an additional $375. This is in violation of ADA. They don’t care

Plussat: Clean and comfortable

Plussat: Location was Excellent, close to Shopping, Restaurants and 10 min. walk to Beach

Plussat: The property is in a quiet location off of Periwinkle. Even though it’s not a beachfront property, it’s within walking distance of the Gulf side of the island. My wife and I really enjoyed our stay and will definitely consider the Parrot Nest for future Sanibel Island trips. The cottages were recently remodeled and all units have brand new windows. Our unit was very roomy and comfortable. An added bonus was the availability of bicycles for visitors.

Miinukset: We wish that there had been a pool on the property and in speaking with the owner, I was told that a pool was going to be added. Additionally, the dirt road leading to the property is full of pot holes and needs to be better maintained - I’m assuming this is the responsibility of the town.

Plussat: It was an excellent vacation, very good location and accommodation, including the kitchen, patio, available BBQ solid A/C. good TV with Netflix.

Miinukset: Bumpy driveway full of potholes, no streetlights so it was difficult to find the place for the first time at night.

Plussat: Its right on the beach and the staff is excellent.

Miinukset: Its about due for a room remodel . Cabinets and trim are wearing out. But still serviceable.

Plussat: Property was clean and well maintained. 2Bedroom was really spacious

Miinukset: Floors were not insulated. Could hear guest walk around above us.

Miinukset: I was confirmed and later cancelled by Kayak and its partners. I will never again use Kayak or any of its affiliates.

Plussat: Include onsite amenities like beach chairs and umbrellas, kayaks, and paddleboards. The marketplace, restaurants and pool bar were great bonuses as well.

Miinukset: Hotel rooms were extremely outdated and not well maintained - this is what prevents me from recommending to others and from staying there again.

Plussat: included amenities

Miinukset: no

Plussat: Great place to stay. Quiet at night, but lots to do during the day. Beach is uncrowded (in late April anyway!), lots of chairs and umbrellas available. Nice pool. And zillions of brand new pickleball courts, if that's your thing. Close to other island attractions.

Miinukset: Price

Plussat: Great breakfasts, pool bars, beach. Fine staff, good people. Spacious, two bedroom apartments are the norm. (two couples could easily entertain another two couples there.?)

Miinukset: George Orwell feel in four story, sameness condo world.?? Only the beach is.. truly natural.?

Plussat: The room was beautiful! It had a Murphy bed for our kids to sleep on, a full kitchen, and a master bedroom. We loved eating hibachi at Shima. The pool has a water slide that my kids loved! There were crafts and activities for children.

Plussat: The location was excellent. Right on the water. The view of the Gulf of Mexico was spectacular.

Miinukset: It was perfect

Plussat: The staff was amazing and the location was great!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Love the location, the staff was excellent, the bike rentals were awesome. Didn't like the quality of the room It was clean but in need of some repair.

Miinukset: Room needed some update

Plussat: Location and privacy to beach

Miinukset: Extta cisrs and no complementary breakfast

Plussat: The location. The beach and pool were a few steps from eachother. Not far to restaurants and shopping. Very helpful front desk

Plussat: Loved the location and the amenities!

Miinukset: Room walls were paper thin and bathroom fan was broken.

Plussat: Room was clean and quiet

Miinukset: The pillows were too mushy for me Coffee supplies could be stepped up The 2 biggest problems were no umbrellas supplied for beach, and not mentioned on website. They say they are pet friendly but $75 per days says otherwise.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Front door key didn't work and they wouldn't bring one that did. The entire building needs to be updated. The shower was near impossible to turn on. The lady at the the front desk had a terrible attitude. The place looked like a 1960 Holiday Inn

Plussat: Great location for the beach. Hotel was everything it said it was, room was furnished well. Had thing's you hate to pack, IE hair dryer & iron & board. The restaurant onsite had an excellent breakfast menu. We would definately make it a return to facility

Plussat: Location with garden and hammocks, chairs on the beach, and nice staff

Miinukset: Hidden fees at the end. We paid hotel fees and taxes at the beginning (expected) but then we billed for "resort fees" at check-out. Felt tricked. The restaurant had really nice servers but the food was not good and overpriced.

Plussat: Room comfort,friendly staff

Plussat: Location / staff

Miinukset: Would have liked a work out room

Plussat: It is on the beach

Plussat: Staff was very helpful. Was an attractive property and private. Property was right off the beach. Beach chairs and games available. Much to do on the island. Fishing, Shelling, Bike riding and nature preserves.

Miinukset: The room was cramped with 2 double beds and you could here the people in the other room on occasion.breakfast was expensive and the parts of the meal did not arrive in order or together. Area difficult to navigate at night without a GPS

Plussat: We stayed at this hotel in March 2019 and were very pleased with every aspect of the resort. The staff was accommodating and room clean. The location was so nice, right on the beach. We loved the option of using the pool or beach.

Plussat: Perfect location, nice restaurant, such comfy beds and pillows. Immaculately clean, helpful, welcoming staff.

Miinukset: Couldn't get any wifi anywhere but the reception. We stayed in dune daisy

Plussat: Bed and pillows were not as comfortable. Room was clean and updated. Excellent beach access.

Miinukset: We loved the hotel, but the price was a but high.

Plussat: Friendliness of staff, free bikes, kayaks, beach chairs and umbrellas.

Miinukset: The musty smell in the room.

Plussat: Guys at the pool house were friendly and very helpful. Check-in person was very helpful and helped us change rooms to a more desirable room/building.

Plussat: I liked the hotel and the restaurant they had on location.

Miinukset: We did not rent a car sand there was not a lot of walkable shops nearby. They have bikes you can use but they go very quickly if you are not there by 8:30 to get one. In the future I would rent a bike from one of the shops to have the entire stay.

Plussat: Ocean front with good beach access!

Miinukset: The room was in poor condition and dirty! The facilities need a remodel and especially a much needed cleaning!

Plussat: location on the beach

Miinukset: rooms were dated, musty and mildew-smelling. amenity staff not service-oriented (a training problem not a personnel problem) amenities not in good condition (beach chairs, bikes, pool)

Plussat: Room was Spacious. Bed Comfy, cleanliness was good , some green stuff on inner bathroom shutter. Location was very convenient and the Staff was great.  the boathouse was excellent too.

Plussat: Location and grounds were nice

Miinukset: Had to go several times to desk for towels and toilet paper

Miinukset: Would have loved more firm Pillows and a better description of the size of the fridge/in room amenities. We didn’t know how big things were to gauge what groceries we could Bring...

Plussat: The beach was lovely and the landscaping at hotel was lovely.

Miinukset: The room needed alot of attention. It was not very clean. Insects crawling on me and the sofa. Ribbed bedding and shower curtain. Light bulbs burned out in bathroom. I could certainly go on and on but I won't.

Plussat: Beach front facility with a variety of room options. The resort fee actually included resort activities; paddle boards, kayak, bikes, guided paddles, beach chair with umbrellas, towels . Staff was very friendly, accommodating, and friendly.

Miinukset: Not excited about the drop in price after reserving room without any accommodation. The toilet ran continuously on arrival. Fixed very quickly. TV also would not stay on. Almost like someone in a bother room was clicking it off and on. The beach office for towels etc didn't open until 830. Seemed kind of late. Asked for a recommendation for fish tacos. The recommended restaurant had good food but didn't include the taco option. OOPs.

Plussat: Close to restaurants. The girl at the desk at check-in was very nice.

Miinukset: Furniture and kitchen area was outdated. Small ants in bathroom and on dining table.

Plussat: Great location and very pet friendly. Staff was very helpful with recommendations. Kitchen and barbecue grills great to keep costs down. Good restaurants nearby and also the main grocery store. Pool was perfect and the beaches were gorgeous and close by.

Miinukset: We had several encounters with roaches of various kinds in the room. To be expected in an efficiency but still a little gross. We slept with the nightstand light on at night to try and keep them in hiding.

Plussat: My and my husband have stayed here a handful of times and we love it. Great value, great location and can bike to beaches. Rooms are always clean and comfortable and have a mini fridge and microwave. Awesome place!

Plussat: These rooms are adorable! Plenty room for a vacation, front porch, back porch, 2 bathrooms! The owner is so very sweet and helpful! We will definitely come back and hopefully get one of the A frame cottages!!

Miinukset: The only thing is the showers are tiny, but that's not an issue that would keep me away. If this place was on the beach, it would be PERFECT! Luckily, the beach is only about a half mile away!

Plussat: Friendly staff, location, quaint.

Miinukset: Weekend was too short!

Plussat: We stay at the Anchor Inn every time we come to Sanibel Island. We absolutely love it there. Friendly staff, pet friendly. I stayed there with my daughter and 2 dachshunds. Good value for your money. They bend over backwards to make sure we are comfortable during our stay. We stayed for a week this time. Discovered the washer and dryer for us to use also! That was a big plus! Nice little area to wash your seashells and a pool also! Horseshoes, bikes are all available too! Great place to stay. Can't wait to go back!

Plussat: It was a splendid 2 night get away. We sat out on a bank lined with a bed of pine needles watching fish, turtles and several iguanas while the spray from the creek fountains formed a gorgeous rainbow. The pool was clean and sparkling and many tables and chairs were shaded with palm trees. The staff went out of their way with friendliness and provided us with anything we needed. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook full meals. The local restaurants ranged from classy Italian to ecsquisit steaks and ribs..within a half a block. There were liquor stores, deli and grocery markets, and gift shops a block away. If the rating stars went up to a 10, the Anchor Inn would have to be a 10. They even gave us a Doggie Basket to keep, with blankets, bisquits, a set of 2 metal bowls and doggie bags. The surrounding grounds are full of things to do..shuffle board, corn hole, horseshoes, bikes, so many things.

Miinukset: There was a problem in the beginning of our stay with "crazy ants", but being a Floridian and familiar with them, we brought Terro that you drop on thin cardboard and it kills them. I have them in my own home so I wasn't alarmed.

Plussat: The cottage had a lot of space with couch,,dining table, two seperate sleeping eooms. Laundry facilities complimentary.

Miinukset: Swimming pool small, hot and along the road. Furniture bit out of date. Ants in the house If you can afford it stay at the beach side. It is some hassle to go to the beach.

Plussat: It was near the Community House where we worked at the shell show 3days. Easy to drive to.

Miinukset: Toilet too Low without any grab bars. Not enough shelf space in bathroom. No small packets of shampoo. Having to take care of putting towels in container, then having to get clean ones out for use the next day. We used the coffee pot and coffee was not replaced for the next day. TV control was lousy. No list of channels we could get on TV. Had to ask for a hair dryer. We were not informed that we had to ask. The on and off switches on the lamps. Had trouble reaching down to find the switch that was on the wire. Had to ask for someone to come in to make beds, but they never emptied the trash cans.

Plussat: The installations were ok

Miinukset: I stayed in anchor Inn and cottage 2 nights. I couldn’t sleep in both nights. The AC noise was terrific. The equipment was very old ( those AC that are a big square), assume that was a 20 years old AC. My friend’s room and the others were the same. It was turning on an off like every 5 minutes. I can’t understand how they don’t realize it...assume many guest felt like me.

Plussat: It was a cute room. Bathroom was small but really nice.

Miinukset: The beds were so uncomfortable. Neither of us could sleep. The door didn’t seal very well. There were some bugs crawling around in the morning. There was a roach over on the counter by the sink right before we left.

Plussat: Everything needed or wanted was within walking distance, the peace and serenity, all the available activities on the grounds, the staff. And they love pets!

Miinukset: I didn't like the fact that the owner is insisting on a "couple" to manage the place. Victoria, who is now alone, can manage it very well on her own, and does a fantastic job of it. All they need to do is bring in a local handy man to fill in, yet they will be putting her out on the street soon with no place to go, especially on short notice. She has a dog, which makes it more difficult to find a new place, but as most of you know, a dog is like a family member. The owner should think twice about losing such a loving, devoted employee as he will NEVER be able to fill her shoes. I have stayed at the Anchor Inn 4 times this summer on my 2 night get-aways with my Chihuahua, and she has been a highlight to every visit. It will never be the same without her.

Plussat: Very close to beach and staff was super nice. Clean and affordable. Would stay again. We stayed in the smaller area close to beach, not cottages. Loved the short walk.

Miinukset: A/c flow to living area could be better, but still livable.

Plussat: It was clean missing some things we had to ask for. Great for our dog!

Miinukset: To far from the Beach and couldn’t really see it from our screened in porch

Plussat: I did not like that my stay was too short! The property was awesome in every way!

Miinukset: All was perfect!

Plussat: Nect to the beach

Miinukset: A lot of mosquitos( normal bcs is in a natural place) and dog hair

Plussat: Tha accesories that are available for the customers, like the beach chairs, beach toys, etc

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: We will be back.

Plussat: The location was phenomenal. Pool was clean and many beach accessories to play with and enjoy. The cottage was so comfortable and clean. Our family had a wonderful time there and would definitely return again. The beach was a very close walk from the cottage.

Miinukset: Don’t leave food open and out on the counters. There are little tiny ants that come out and attach your food. The beds make noise but didn’t affect having a good night sleep.

Plussat: Location was great. Right at the beach.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The staff was amazing, so accommodating and there for you when needed. Clean, Cozy Beachy rooms. was paradise :)

Plussat: My husband and I got married on Sanibel Island 7 years ago. We were in Florida with our kids, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc and my husband and I thought, why not take a night and a day and go back for a visit to our favorite place. We found Waterside Inn online and the price and location was perfect! When we arrived, the staff at the front dest/office were WONDERFUL! The beach was right there-just down the steps from our room. We only got a hotel room but, next year we will hopefully get one of the idyllic looking cottages. Needless to say, we will be back.

Plussat: Location. On the beach. Seconds from the sand and water. It was clean, except things are worn and a bit outdated.

Miinukset: Bit old and ever so slightly musty. Shows it's age in the cracked cabinets and creaky sliding doors.
