Great resort, and property. Good food, tiki bar, and activities for the kids at the pool. Bikes to rent were fun, and tennis/pickelball was fun to have right on the property. I've stayed here 3 times, and will be back again some day.
Fabulous priority! Great pool and poolside drinks… the beach was beautiful for long walks and shelling. The staff was super helpful and pleasant… can’t wait to return!!
Great staff very helpful
Captains catch a wonderful place to have breakfast and dinner prices are very reasonable

The room accommodations were excellent! Very clean and plenty of room. The resort as a whole has “Resort” down to a “T”. They have thought of everything and has a lot to offer. Great place to stay while in Sanibel.
A wonderful family and couples beachfront property with a wide range of amenities for all guests of all ages. We had a calming water fountain outside our condo with 3 bedrooms so for the kids and our own privacy. Beautiful white sand beach with clear water and easy biking across the island. We hope to be back soon!

Very clean room, staff was very nice. All of the pools were clean and everything was very nice and well taken care of.
Absolutely stunning property and great location! We used the resorts biked and road around the island exploring its beauty. The pools (there’s many) were so refreshing! There was just so much for the everyone to do. They loved the seashell station after walking the beach to find shells. Would love to come back to this charming island again. Room was also super clean and big!!

Standard timeshare set up. A bit understaffed maybe. Bar and restaurant service was slow. Food was excellent. Massive property and it’s a hike to get across.
This property really had something for everyone. If you like action, they have pickle ball, kayaking, paddle boards for free. If you like to just lounge on the beach, chairs and umbrellas are at your disposal. Poolside bingo every afternoon was a plus for my 11 year-old. He even won himself a free ice cream. The on-site restaurants are excellent, but also close enough to check out the local cuisine off property.
This resort is best for families. The beach is brimming with shells, the pool is perfect for kids and adults. Everything feels clean and new. Really nice to have food options on site. I recommend ordering groceries for delivery from Jerry’s. We loved the access to bikes and tennis. And the fitness center was great too.
