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.

The stay was great & staff were fantastic. Will stay again in the future.
Pros:

The room was great, perfect for just the 2 of us. Met some great families there that were on a staycation like we were. The shower head was amazing. Access to the beach was just a quick walk down the walkway.

Cons:

Not sure if there is anything that you can do about this. But we could everything going on in the rooms that were on either side of our room. We heard the guy sneeze and blow his nose, and other noise. But honestly that was the only thing that I could say.

Great Location, but Room Issues
Pros:

The location is very convenient, just a short walk to the beach and close to restaurants, bars, and a convenience store. Elvia at the front desk stood out for her professionalism and genuine care, which made a positive difference during our stay.

Cons:

We experienced an issue with the shower, as the water temperature was impossible to regulate and would switch between extremely hot and very cold. Although a handyman came the next day and replaced some parts, the problem was not resolved, and the repair process itself was inconvenient as we could not properly use the room during that time.
