Sanibel Island Beach Resort
Bar was well stocked. We did not overlook the beach. The room was clean. We had 2 queens instead of a king. We didn’t mind—we weren’t in the room much.

Lani Kai Beachfront Resort
Wonderful staff- very helpful, friendly place to be. Be prepared to hear some sound and music and dancing and laughter but as long as you’re OK with that, the views were beautiful. It’s close to the ocean. Staff is amazing and it was a fun place to stay.
