Top J. N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge Hotel Reviews

Casa Ybel Resort

Casa Ybel Resort

10/10 Excellent
"First time at CY and could not be happier with our stay. First time on the island too. Room was perfect for me and my two daughters. Really liked the vaulted ceilings as I was surprised by this. We stayed on the 2nd floor for the view (we didn’t mind walking the extra steps). We were in room 118 and it was a little walk to the pool, but the grounds are gorgeous as we didn’t mind the walk. Pool was big and water warm! Ocean was equally as warm. Shells for days. Caught some lizards and a crab! Staff was excellent and courteous. Come prepared with bug spray. We used Captiva Cruises for our private fishing, snorkeling, shelling, and dolphin viewing. Caught tons of fish! Grilled snapper and trout for dinner. We will be returning annually!"

10/10 Excellent
"The property was immaculate, steps to the beach, beautifully decorated, the host was the best! Beds were comfy, ample closet space. Plenty of linen and towels. Kitchen was fully stocked with all the essentials. We picked up groceries before crossing to the island and never had to leave again. Jerry’s was a bike ride away for any restocks.Pool toys and beach chairs were a plus, beach towels were a nice touch. Plenty of starter cleaning supplies. Literally sugar and spice and everything nice!"
