Top Sanibel and Captiva Island Visitor's Center Hotel Reviews

Lani Kai Beachfront Resort

8/10 Good

"This resort"

Sanibel Island Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We were allowed to bring our dog who was over the posted weight limit, I did ask in advance. Because we were there in the off season (early September) the room was a great price and we had a ground floor location allowing for easy access to take the dog out. Dogs on a leash are fine on most Sanibel beaches and restaurants (if seated outside) which made for a very enjoyable stay."

Highly recommend!"

"The property is super convenient the beaches across the street a volleyball pool and then a huge lighted pool. The rooms were very clean older but clean and very comfortable.
