8/10 Good
"Overall the place is beautiful. From the waterfall entrance and all around the property everything is very well maintained. The facilities are well kept. We met several people that have been coming here for decades. The view is awesome. The beach is wonderful! So many shells of so many different varieties. Housekeeping made up the room everyday. Sweet! Everyone was so friendly! Just make note, bring bug spray! I have so many bug bites. Ugh. There are stairs, no elevators, but only two flights if you are on top floor. The buildings are spread out so it was a walk to the pool. But those are the only downsides. Sanibel has so many great places to eat out too! We really loved the place!"
