It was a great trip and the ocean was beautiful.
Pros:

We enjoyed having the beach chairs and umbrellas on the beach for us. No worries about paying or reserving. They even provide bicycles to ride around the island. It’s really clean and the staff is great.

Idyllic, tranquil, perfect location
Pros:

Tranquil atmosphere. Idyllic beach location supported by great beach staff
Beach was FANTASTIC. Warm Sea, hardly any current. Probably the best beach I've ever been on
Tennis & Pickle courts well maintained & always available
Our Room blinds didn't work when we came to shut them. When I called reception @ 22.00, a maintenance guy came and fixed them within 5 minutes !!

Cons:

Dante's On-site Restaurant
This was just about THE WORST Pizza I have ever had.
Poor quality, unimaginative, badly served. We never ate there again
Shame, as everything else was perfect

Perfect short getaway to Sanibel. We will definitely be back.
Pros:

Very clean,nicely located, close to the beach with all the amenities. We stayed in a 2 bedroom condominium. Free parking was under the building,so shaded. Elevator or stairs took us up to the third floor. The kitchen was fully equipped. The balcony is fully screened in to keep away the no-see-ums. The beach is a short walk. The Inn sets up chairs and umbrellas on the beach every morning and throughout the day on demand. There are lots of beautiful shells on the beach. The hotel supplies beach/pool towels. We also kayaked off of the beach. They bring you a kayak with life jackets and paddles. You can use it for an hour. There is a Tiki bar next to the pool where we ate lunch. There is another restaurant on the property to eat breakfast and dinner. The Inn also supplies bikes with a basket, helmet and a lock. There are very easy biking paths through out the island. There are tennis and pickle ball courts for which they supply you the paddles.

Cons:

Nothing
