Our stay at West Wind Inn on Sanibel Island was lovely overall. The beach access was incredibly convenient, and we enjoyed beautiful sunset views right from our porch. However, the noise from the adjoining room affected our sleep quality, which was a downside. The cozy atmosphere and free amenities like bikes and paddleboards really added to our experience, making it a great value for a beach vacation.

We had a lovely time overall at the resort, with clean rooms and a beautiful beachfront location that made our stay enjoyable. The staff at the front desk were particularly welcoming and friendly. However, we faced some challenges with the Wi-Fi connection during our stay, which caused some inconvenience. Additionally, we expected more attention to detail in the room upkeep, as there were some rust spots on the patio.
Rooms

Our room was clean and well-appointed, though I did notice some rust on the patio furniture. Overall, it was comfortable, but the initial king room felt a bit small for our needs, which they accommodated by moving us to a double queen on the second floor.

The service we received from the front desk was exceptional, especially from Emily, who went out of her way to help us. However, I did find some staff less approachable during our experience at the pool.

The hotel offers comfortable accommodations with clean rooms, and the beach access is a significant plus. However, the overall experience was marred by issues with the service and outdated rooms. The dining options, while decent, felt a bit overpriced for what was offered. It's a relaxing spot for those looking to enjoy shelling and beach activities, but there is room for improvement.

I absolutely loved my stay at this resort! The beachfront location was perfect for enjoying the sun and sand, and I couldn't get enough of the beautiful views. The pool area was a hit, especially with the added bonus of the tiki bar. However, I did notice that the dining options could be improved for breakfast, as they started a bit later than I would have liked. Overall, it was a fantastic experience when it came to relaxation and enjoying the natural surroundings.

Our stay was a mixed bag at this resort. The proximity to the beach made it easy for us to enjoy our time by the water, and the cleanliness of the rooms was commendable. However, we faced issues with the comfort of the beds which really affected our sleep quality. The dining options could be improved, especially with earlier breakfast hours to cater to our needs. Overall, while there are definite perks, the downsides made it less enjoyable than we had hoped.
