Nice stay for our family of 6. Played pickle ball and used the pool daily. Lots of seashells and dolphins from the beach. Sanibel is a nice break from the built up parts of Florida. Groceries and restaurants nearby. Bike paths from sanibel to captiva. Would stay again.

Great location and fabulous pool. No bikes. Bring your own rackets and balls. Strangely possessive of cheap towels. Pulled us out of out chairs 30 min before sunset

Casa Ybel lost all of the charm it had from many years ago. It looks like a run of the mill time share property with zero character. No signage present for checking in. No one answering repeated phone calls at 6pm for help with directions. Way over priced for the condition of the rooms and to charge extra daily for a cheap umbrella and two chairs? Not worth it. Consider other properties that value customer service in this price range.

very clean nicely decorated and comfortable rooms, nicely appointed. resort is quiet and well spaced. pool is very nice, beachfront accommodations, nice new pickleball and tennis courts are plentiful and available for use. restaurant is a bit pricey, but the food is good. bar is nice, but again a bit pricey. Dinner or lunch one day is worth doing. local bike trails easy to pick up and extensive. The Dong darling refuge is a nice 15 mile round trip from local bike rental shop, which is just about a mile away. very nice stay. quiet vibe, a little music pool side would add to atmosphere. Beach is nice and offers miles of walking.

Room was amazing! Their video on their site is pre Hurricane Ian so don’t expect it to be like that ! Lots of devistation but they are working to bring it back. Most staff was nice , the front office staff were snotty and not helpful at !! Location on the beach is amazing! Sanibel / Captiva have captured my heart and I can’t wait to return. I’d stay there again .

We loved our stay. I was a bit disappointed that when they put in all the new furnishings some of it was kid of junky or not installed well including bedside table drawer kept falling off. Cabinet in master bath was not lined up. One of bathroom barn sliding doors was very hard to slide. I would have expected the brand new furnishing to have been installed much better than that.

Beautiful family friendly beachfront resort.

Both the staff and resort were wonderful. Very clean place. Staff at the hotel, restaurants and pool were all very sweet and helpful. Would highly recommend this resort for families as the units are spacious, have full kitchens, and an outdoor screened in porch. The only negative was that the beach chairs are not included in the stay. You would need to rent them daily or by the week or get your own beach chairs and umbrellas from a local shop and bring them to the beach. Even with that being said, it is a wonderful place to vacation and definitely somewhere we would stay at again.
