Decepción
Pros:

La ubicación, a escasos minutos andando de Crescent Beach, y también de un pequeño centro con algunos restaurantes y un supermercado

Cons:

La primera noche vimos una cucaracha correteando por la cocina, al lado de la camas. No la matamos del asco que nos dió. Llamamos a los responsables y pusieron un líquido. Al día siguiente la vimos muerta en el suelo cerca de las camas. Todo eso arruinó la estancia.

Pros:

Location and amenities were great. The kitchen had basic kitchen things pots/pans/ cooking utensils. Big fridge with freezer to hold all out beach snacks and drinks. It was walking distance to the beach. They even had some toys for my kids to use on the beach, and big yard area to find lizards. Close to restaurants and other things. I would definitely stay here again!

Recommended for walking to the beach in a quiet place
Pros:

The location is within walking distance of the beach. Quiet neighborhood. Free parking
Within walking distance of some restaurants, ice cream shops, and a convenience store. It's a perfect spot to relax and have the main things close to the hotel.

Cons:

Just a suggestion: the hotel could offer some music in the common areas and night lights to enjoy the patio and games.
It is important to keep products for the cockroaches during the summertime.

Sunny, warm, tropical blue waters and can't wait to return!
Pros:

This was the 2nd time staying at Captiva and it met all our expectations. From the ease of booking to the wonderful staff and the amazing rooms. They have pool, beach items that anyone can use if you can't bring with you due to traveling. My family will definitely stay with Captiva again.

Cons:

We would love more beach square footage but we do not hold Captiva at fault for this and will still always stay with them.
