Top Sanibel Hotel Reviews

Shalimar Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The property was beautifully maintained. Note you have to ask for fresh towels or room service but rooms had everything you needed. Quiet location. Can hardly wait to come back!"

The Anchor Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We had a queen room in the motel portion and loved it. 2 full bathrooms with a nice sized kitchen area and separate bedroom. The back view was of the pond, area well kept and pretty. The laundry facilities was great to have and plenty of bath and beach towels stocked there each morning. Plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas. Very quiet"

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."

Seahorse Cottages on Sanibel - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"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!"
