My family and I stay at the West Wind every year. We have always found this hotel to be a jewel on the west coast of Sanibel. The staff is always helpfull, and we LOVE the pool bar. We can get cocktails, and lunch at reasonable prices. Also, they have a great gift shop. We will continue to stay at... more

We have just returned from our third stay at the West Wind Inn - if anything it is better than ever. There's nothing fancy about it so if you want 24 hour room service its not the place for you. However the rooms are reasonably sized and very clean, the pool and pool bar are superb. The restaurant is only... more

My partner and I have stayed at the West Wind now for several years over the Christmas/New Year period and are going back again this year. It's a hell of a long journey all the way from Cornwall in the UK, but definitely more than worth it when we get there. The staff are absolutely great, always remember us and... more

The West Wind was very clean and we had a well stocked kitchen. You can't get any closer to the ocean than this! The staff is wonderful and the breakfast at Normandi was great. This was our first time staying on Sanibel, we have stayed in Captiva before, but there was just three of us this time, so the West... more

Pool was large and warm. 5. Normandie restaurant was awesome for breakfast, kids ate free! 6. Pool bar was nice. 7. Screened in porch... more

Just got back from the West Wind on July 1st with my husband and 13 and 10 year old. I also did a lot of research and the West Wind always came out on top. The Inn itself is very well kept and staff are wonderful and very helpful. Yes the bathroom is a little small, but really, how much... more

I could not possibly be happier with our stay at the West Wind Inn. The people working there were very friendly, and the location was perfect. We ended up being upgraded to an ocean view room at no extra cost, but we would have been perfectly content in any of the rooms. The screened porch was my favorite feature. It... more
