Casa Ybel Resort

Casa Ybel Resort

10/10 Excellent
"The room was really nice and clean. The pool was a good size and there was nar service at the pool. Not sure why, but our room had the fire detectors missing. The staff at the check in desk were not very helpful and were crabby at times. Great access to the beach. Could purchase chairs with an umbrella at the beach but sometimes they were put out around 10 am."

"Nothing we didn't like. Room was clean and well maintained. Bathroom and kitchenette were both very nice. A 2-3 minute walk from our room to our lounge chairs on the beach. Beautiful water and sand. Pool also very nice even though it was pretty warm most days. But that's to be expected in August in Florida. Poolside tiki bar had cool bartenders and a nice happy hour. Highly recommend."

"Our cottage was great! It was clean, and the bed was comfortable. It was nice to have porch areas out front and back and it was an easy walk to the beach and restaurant/ice cream shop. It was also nice to have the small pool to cool off in. Would definitely stay here again if we ever come back to Sanibel!"
