Top Dinkins Bayou Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Cape Coral-Fort Myers Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very good property"

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."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Ft. Myers-Sanibel Gateway

6/10 Okay

"The breakfast was terrible, the spa at pool was not working, they bare cleaned the rooms, we saw a couple of mice on the first floor .. housekeeping was not great.. the best thing about this hotel was it was not expensive it was close to all beaches.. it was fairly clean, but they could not make a bed and the phones and TV do not work"

Edison Beach House

8/10 Good

"We love the convenient location of EBH. We also love that they have housekeeping services daily if you want them and laundry in each room. My only suggestions would be new pillows - they are very flat, small and uncomfortable, and the key cards can be a bit of a pain. They are very sensitive to erasing and needing to be reprogrammed a lot and they are just one more thing you have to carry around. I like the coded door locks they offer at other places, and they can be reset remotely for the next guest. There also aren’t a lot of beach chair options and there were no augers to go with the two umbrellas that were there. We ended up buying a large beach shade. Other than these things, I would highly recommend this property and we will return!"

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."

The Lighthouse Resort Inn & Suites

6/10 Okay

"Great location and quick walk to the ocean. Pool is community and not private. Tiki bar was fun, but if drinking and parting isn’t your vibe then try a different location. We were on the 3rd floor next to the parking lot and the tiki bar which is open to 2am. So it’s definitely loud if you’re trying to sleep. Bathroom need to be remodeled."
