Great resort. Clean rooms, easy access to the beach, and very good food by the pool. For the dollars, worth it. Night time desk staff excellent (we arrived at 2AM), house cleaning staff excellent (daily room service was nice). Judeen at the poolside cafe was super nice, the food excellent and a great deal for the island. Daytime desk staff was the only negative. Lots of attitude without the gratitude.

Our room was clean the bed was comfy room key system is awesome. The burger place beside it Let me just say the food and staff are AMAZING. The Mahi Mahi is the best ive ever had. The only thing we didnt like was its an island beach resort and the tiki bar closes at 7pm. 10pm or 11 would be much better for adults.we will be back though. Wonderful experience and we visit sanibel often just was first time staying.

For the large price we did not except the room to not only be dirty especially in the bathroom but also no elevator to upper floors and stairs are not secure. Staff members fighting at pool bar. If you were only pay $100-$150 a night it wouldn’t be bad but for $500 a night we will never return.

Our first time staying at Sanibel Beach Resort was a great stay. They are right on the beach, great pool, friendly staff and close to many shops and restaurants. Very clean and quiet resort. Found a package deal with airfare and a rental car. Room was very clean and everything looked brand new.

My husband and I stayed the week here and it was paradise. The pool area and restaurant/bar were well maintained with great service. Pictures don’t do justice to their beautiful area of palm trees, hammocks, and bean bag/yard games. Walk a few more steps to beach chairs available and the ocean. I do wish they had umbrellas for rent (you could buy them but we wouldn’t need it after we left). We rented bicycles nearby which was a great way to see the island, get coffee/lunch nearby. The BGBR restaurant at the resort had great food, coffee, and desserts. The mini burgers and truffle fries were my favorite. And the lava cake! They gave us a beach bag for collecting shells, and all staff members were helpful and courteous. We will definitely be back 🏖️☀️🌊

This is the nicest motel I have ever stayed in. (Let's be clear, this is definitely a motel, not a big "resort". But I don't hold that against the place.) Considering the entire area was hit by a strong hurricane a few months ago, you would never know it. The Sanibel Island Beach Resort seemed to be just fine! The location was easy - just after the causeway onto the island. The rooms were clean and well appointed. The pool area and tiki bar comfortable a cute. And the glorious beach was just steps away! It was a touch pricey, but affordable when compared to other properties on the island, right on the beach. I would definitely stay again!
