Sanibel Island Beach Resort
The Sanibel Island Beach Resort was much nicer than I had expected. Room (king with separate living area) was very spacious and excellently decorated. Love that beach chairs and towels are included! Pool area is very nice and had a great experience at all 3 dining areas. Would definitely stay here ...

Lani Kai Beachfront Resort
The pool was awful. So small we couldn’t even really go in it. No chair space. Spent our time at beach o my and considered pain to swim at the margaritaville pool. You also have to pay for chairs which I think it’s ridiculous when you have a resort fee.
