Top BIG Arts Center Hotel Reviews

Sanibel Island Beach Resort

8/10 Good

"This was my 2nd time staying at Sanibel Beach Resort and it was just as good as the 1st time. The staff is very helpful and friendly. I have slight mobility issues and my request for a room on the ground floor was honored. As a solo traveler I always felt safe in and around the resort and beach. My shell bag was filled with lots of new treasures. I will definitely stay there again."

Marriott Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa

8/10 Good

"First of all WE WILL return. Loved the property, loved the P&Q (Stay at Captiva Tower if you want more peace). My ONE gripe, and I hope it is passed up the chain to management, is that we stayed over on a three day holiday weekend. BOTH the new evening Dinner cruise AND the Courtside Steakhouse were only operating on Friday and Saturday night, CLOSED for both Sunday and Monday (Memorial day). I completely agree with closure on Memorial day, but guys, come on. For a THREE day weekend, with "over 85% occupancy", you keep the two major evening meal destinations closed? From a business standpoint, how much capital do you think you missed out on? I heard MANY other guests parallel the same opinions. Business is business. You should have catered to the guests!!! "Off season" is not off season for Florida Natives! ALSO it is very clear you are short staffed in the service areas. For example, the poor woman doing the omlette bar for the breakfast buffet was also running around like crazy re stocking the hot trays; also wait staff VERY thin in the two other restaurants."

Casa Ybel Resort

6/10 Okay

"It is one of the most frustrating aspects of this experience. The umbrella's and chairs delivered, yet they do not include the pin for the umbrella on a windy day and do not tell you this. I watched everyone on the beach struggle to put up their umbrella and not have a pin. They were happy to take the money, but not explanation nor trust of the guest. When trying to call them, they did not answer the phone, sometimes for 45 minutes. Then the attendant would take even longer to fix the problem. The management itself has some fixing to do. They are not for the customer, they come up with excuses and blame the customer before they take any credit. Honestly, I would find another property if you want a full relaxing experience. It took seven days for management to fix a problem they caused on my credit card. If customer service is what you enjoy in addition to your trip, go elsewhere."

Driftwood Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This was our second stay at Driftwood Inn and we enjoyed it as much this time as the last! Property is immaculately cleaned, comfortable and has everything we need. The beach is a short walk away and the included cart, umbrellas and beach chairs make it easy to enjoy your time relaxing in the sun. Highly recommend this property for your beach time!"
