Sanibel Island Beach Resort

Sanibel Island Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent
"This hotel room is just enough to enjoy a few days in the sun! The room is big enough with extra seating, a micro and fridge as well as a well thought out, NEW bathroom. The grounds are simply beautiful. The palm lined pool with views of the beach are just some of the prettiest views around. We love Sanibel and choose this location when staying for less than a week. It's great to have a restaurant, breakfast place and pool bar on site! We were very happy here."

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay at Casa Ybel for our wedding anniversary. We had a one-bed king suite and it was large and clean. The bed was very comfortable. The screened lanai was spacious with a ceiling fan, tables/chairs and hooks for towels and shell bags. We spent a lot of time out there looking at the ocean view. Splurge and rent the beach chairs and umbrella, it is worth it. A few nit-picky things were wrong with the room - there was a loose piece of floor trim and the finish on the corner of the tub was wearing off. Nothing that impacted our stay. Housekeeping did an amazing job and were super friendly. The front desk staff were very helpful, especially when our flight was canceled and we had to add another night to our trip. We did not use the pool area but visited to get towels for the beach and it looked inviting and well kept. Tip: there is no signage for where you check-in. It is the first blue/grey building as you enter the grounds. We will definitely be back!"
