No the pool was hot and the dirty scum line around it was gross. The room was great and loved the screened in porch.

Hi there! Thank you for stopping in at Colony Inn C-13! Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the room and the screened-in porch. We do sincerely apologise for the condition of the pool and understand how disappointing that must have been. This is not the standard we aim to provide, and your comments have been shared with our team for immediate attention. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and we would love the opportunity to welcome you back again for a much improved stay.

We love Colony Inn! Our family has stayed there since it opened in the 60s and my grandparents owned C19. No pool during our stay but it was too cool anyway. They worked hard to get the pool ready for inspection. The grounds will be beautiful again.

We absolutely loved our stay here. We only stayed 2 nights, and now we are in Clearwater beach for 2 nights and wished we just stayed in Sanibel for 4 instead. LOL. We totally love the quiet relaxed atmosphere at Colony Inn and surrounding area. Our room was nicely decorated with a peaceful ocean vibe. Everything we needed was right there. Excellent beach access. Wickies was a most excellent restaurant within walking distance. There is also ice cream in the same plaza, and bagels and coffee across the street from Wickies. This is totally our scene. As a retired couple, we are done with the party scenes, and just want peace and quiet and beautiful ocean scenery, and of course, SHELLS. Also, the reception staff was friendly and helpful. We also were given the use of beach chairs and an umbrella, which we really appreciated.We loved it more than we anticipated, and hope to be back many more times.Thank you for providing us with such a wonderful stay.With gratitude, Marc & Mary
