Top Sanibel Hotel Reviews

Kona Kai Motel

10/10 Excellent

"This is the second time I have stayed here and I love it. I’m looking forward to coming back. It is such a cute little place. It looks like a little tiki hut, village. The staff is very nice and helpful. They have a beautiful pool and at night all through the property. It looks so cool because they have these tiki torches that come on at night. It’s just a beautiful peaceful place and I would encourage anyone to check it out. You will love it. It’s centrally located on the island so it’s easy to get to everything."

Casa Ybel Resort

8/10 Good

"Comfortable accommodations Friendly staff Nice poolside lunch service. Beach is much more shell crushed than in the past and difficult to walk on without sand shoes."

Tarpon Tale Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay, starting with the positive, welcoming energy on check-in. The room was big, well decorated, very clean, and with both AC and ceiling fan making it cool. Then the property tour showed us how much love and care the owner and the staff dedicate to the inn. Orchids everywhere, new bikes for Guests to roam the Island, fresh from the store beach chairs and umbrellas… everything was perfect. On top of it the location is amazing. 5 minutes walking from the beach and across the street from food and drinks. I will 100% be coming back."

"Our cottage was great! It was clean, and the bed was comfortable. It was nice to have porch areas out front and back and it was an easy walk to the beach and restaurant/ice cream shop. It was also nice to have the small pool to cool off in. Would definitely stay here again if we ever come back to Sanibel!"
