Pros +
- Great location, beautiful grounds, nice cafe with great breakfast, but a little understaffed. Great shell hunting. Easy bike rental, we walked to restaurants on paths (1 mile to 2 miles, but it was great) Front desk staff is great. The beach is beautiful, the pool was nice, and the bar at the pool was fun. We will be back next year!
- It looks like a normal motel when you drive up, but in side the rooms, it is all newly done and they are beautiful. The location is perfect. The tiki bar is the best on the beach. They gave us a special baf with toys for our dog and a shelling bag for us. A great base for a Sanibel Island vacay.
- This was a perfect experience. Employees were always pleasant and welcoming. ( which is something I always watch for) the room was cleaned daily and many fresh towels and accessories . Pool area always clean and picked up. Parking was always easy with close proximity to my room. The small cafe was great. staff welcoming,, The food delicious with a good selection. The coffee was the best!
Cons -
- The restaurant needs to work out some bugs. I went for a coffee in the afternoon and was not acknowledged by the staff that was working at the bar. They just need to have some more help, or just turn to people and say I’ll be right with you.
