We loved having the option to sit by the pool or by the beach! We appreciated that the staff set out the chairs daily. The cafe had delicious ice lattes and we enjoyed lunch by the pool. Checkout was easy!

Room was clean and well stocked with towels etc. Kitchen had the necessary tools to fix meals. The sliding glass doors open on to a screened in porch with a view of the beach. found the bed to be uncomfortable and worn out and should be replaced. Overall, I would recommend Casa Ybel on Sanibel.
