Sanibel Island Resort was a perfect place for my trip. It was convenient to most shops and dining. The room was great. Very quiet and clean. The staff was accommodating, especially the cleaning staff. I went to complete my bucket list and to collect shells. I was not disappointed in anything!

You scammed me on a car rental instead of getting a normal gas car Dollar car rental offered me an EV managers special, Which was initiated by Travelocity. This is a bait and switch, and I have their invoice for $96.12... multiple testimonies will affirm the same. Before I go to the social media and take out a court summons and subpoena against both parties, confirm that you will take care of this bill with Dollar if not, I will expose you for not disclosing the facts, kind of like violating the truth and lending law! Sell them what they want give them what you have

Property is nice and beach is just steps away. Room was clean. Not super fancy or anything but fine for people that just want to enjoy the island and not spend a lot of time in the room. My only complaint would be that beach chairs are only provided from 9am-5pm. We would have liked to utilize the chairs a little later in the evening.

The room cannot have central air only an AC unit and it was very noisy all night. The place is fine, but I don’t know how it’s called a Resort nothing special but another hotel, but they do charge a resort fee. Also, the hotel is half empty, and we were placed in a room farthest from the beach.
