Top Sanibel Hotel Reviews

Sanibel Siesta on the Beach

Sanibel Siesta on the Beach

10/10 Excellent
"The view of the water was great, the rooms spacious, friendly management, and overall awesome. The owner was very thoughtful with putting everything you need on a sheet for wifi, numbers needed, and various options for a comfortable stay. A couple of hiccups, but not worthy of taking points, the hot water for the kitchen sink was poor - we used the kettle to heat water up for dishes. When someone parks in your spot (we were there for the 4th of July) they don't do anything as it is private property they don't tow. Made it a bit difficult as we had two rooms with family. Otherwise, the seashells you find are great, pool was like bath water - perfect, the beach was so much fun, and the seashell museum was wonderful. It was very clean, air conditioning was great after a day at the beach, and we were able to see fireworks off the front door patio! Would definitely go again - next time we want to rent some bikes to explore the area a bit. Great food at the Gramma Dots. Thank you to the owner and management for ensuring we had a wonderful time."
