Very loud music and shouting late into the night. And we were on the 4th floor, away from the beach.

Pink Shell Beach Resort and Marina
The Sanibel building is an old building, elevators are slow, there is no direct access to the pool area. Screened in lanai makes it difficult to take nice photos from the balcony because of the screens. Overall, was not what we expected.

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Ft. Myers-Sanibel Gateway
Looks can be deceiving, the outside of the building could use a little work, but the room its self was pretty nice. Pool was nice, staff were friendly.
