Shalimar Beach Resort
Clean, well appointed and great layout. Staff was pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful. The campus was well designed and offered a great view of the beach. The location on Sanibel is very good,it is away from heavy traffic but close to shopping and points of interest

Clean perfectly located, friendly staff, updated room with an awesome view. Great food on the premises. The only thing we didnt like was the additional charge for parking.

Marriott Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa
Great view from mini suite. Only real issue is self-parking is a nightmare. If you don't mind $35 per day plus tips, use the valet parking. The quality and presentation of the buffet breakfast is not on par with the rest of the facility, which is beautiful!
