Marriott Sanibel Harbour Resort & Spa
The staff was so welcoming and kind. Upon arrival, Frank welcomed me warmly, and upon departure, Nelson was equally kind. The front desk staff and restaurant personnel were wonderful as was the food I enjoyed there. It was a relaxing week at the hotel and its beautiful setting on Sanibel.
