Best Relaxing Stay!!

My mom and I booked The Colony for a girls trip. It was perfect for what we needed, about a 5 minute walk to the beach, which was never too busy. If we were not at the beach we're at the pool, which was a very clean space to relax in. The staff was always accommodating with requests for beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, etc. Shops were within walkable distance. The only “complaint” would be a little more security on the main doors. They only come with a code lock, no dead bolt or peep hole. So if someone knew your code, they could get in. Other than that, we will definitely recommend to friends and be making our way back to Sanibel!
