Sanibel Island Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing helpful staff at checkin and checkout. Extremely clean room."

Residence Inn by Marriott Fort Myers Sanibel

10/10 Excellent

"I don't know why, but I was told I was upgraded to a one bedroom (2 queen beds) and that's all fine. I really did wanted the luxury of the king I chose, BUT it ended up being perfect!! The refrigerator had an ice maker in the freezer! So nice not to have to go down the hall with an ice bucket. Haha Booking through Expedia was easy and check-in was seamless! The front desk staff are AWESOME. When I talked to them about a funny issue with the clock on the television and they addressed it immediately. (the clock was set an hour behind and wouldn't let me watch anything at the current time. I didn't know 'that was a thing'! LOL I was only there 2 nights and had to attend an off-site event, so I wasn't worried about it being fixed immediately.) Breakfast is plenty!! Nice variety and staff. I don't eat out much, but I would've preferred bacon over sausage patties and almond milk over oat milk. The only weird thing was the employee using a LOUD leaf blower at the pool around 8:30 am. It rained overnight and the forecast called for rain all day. Even if the chairs were a little wet, no one was going to be able to use that area anyway. Probably not early for some (and sometimes me), but that particular morning, I would have liked to sleep a little longer due to the long travel day before,"
