Beautifully updated rooms with great lighting amenities in all rooms. Excellent A/C and hot water, plenty of towels, coffee, and daily cleaning sevice. Mesh screen on porch as an absolute MUST due to the intense no-see-ums. Some still get through but the screen helps a LOT.

The resort was exceptionally well cared for and pristine. The entire staff was warm, friendly and provided excellent care. My only recommendation is to rent a car upon arrival to have easy access to the entire island during a stay.

First time in Sanibel

First time in Sanibel. Area is back after the hurricanes. The Saniel Inn looks great. Friendly staff. Clean, quiet, close to beach. Took advantage of beach chairs, umbrella, and lunch at the Tiki hut. Recommend Grandma Dots for seafood and The Shack for ice cream and Lighthouse cafe for breakfast.
