2nd stay at Sanibel for our family of 4. (9 year old and 6 year old) Our first Sanibel stay we did not love our accommodations, but we loved the Island. Sunset was nirvana. Uncrowded feel yet the hotel was full. Gigantic pool, very nice room. Super comfy bed and pillows. Free beach chairs and umbrellas, shuffle board, 1 tennis... more

We stayed for 4 nights and I wish it could've been more. Upon arrival we were upgraded from a Sanibel Room to a Garden View Room. This hotel was recently fully renovated, thanks to Hurricane Charley, and our room was well appointed and the grounds nicely landscaped. The swimming pool is big, clean, and heated. Continental breakfast of very nice... more

We just spent Thanksgiving staying at the Sunset - we were invited to spend the day itself with our best friends whose parents have a condo next door but 3 to the Sunset beach - so the location for us was perfect - we just wandered along the beach to our friends place then wandered back at night. The pool... more

My husband and I just stayed 5 nights at the Sunset Beach Resort on Sanibel Island....and we had the best time!!! Our room was quite large, with a kitchen area that included a mini-fridge, toaster oven , microwave and coffee maker. The bedroom area was very clean with a large VERY COMFY bed, flat screen t.v and modern furniture. The... more

Though it is a small hotel/resort, it just doesn't get any better! Traveling for the first time with my 11 month old son, I was nervous about everything, including activities and accommodations. I called the hotel a handful of times before our trip with all sorts of questions, and everyone was always super nice and helpful. The room was awesome!... more

We recently held a family reunion at the Sanibel Sunset Beach Resort and were exceptionally pleased with the guest rooms and resort ammenities, but especially with the service that was provided by the staff and specificially, the General Manager, Anthonia Smith. Organizing a large group of individuals is never easy, and changes and special needs/requests were many, but Anthonia was... more

First, a word on Sanibel Island for those who have not been there. The island is a mellow place with limited nightlife--not like, say Key West or South Beach--although there are plenty of restaurants. The island is also spread out, not great for walking, although there are bike paths. This is the kind of place to go to kick back... more

We chose the hotel for its big pool & location right on the beach. It was everything we expected, and more. We reserved a gardenview room, but were upgraded to a 2 bedroom suite when we arrived, which was so great, considering we have a 2 year old and a 5 year old. The room was so nice, very clean,... more
