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

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!
