25th Anniversary Trip
First time in Sanibel, very nice resort has a few pools but only one with bar/restaurant. Right on the beach would be nice to have two showers when you get off the beach as only having one you have to wait sometimes to rinse off. Clean comfortable room with full kitchen. Would stay again
Peter, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Just do it! This place is amazing! I loved having the beach umbrellas and chairs included. Also bikes, we rode up to the lighthouse, it was beautiful! There was nothing I didn’t like!
Angela, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It was our first time here and loved everything! The room was clean, spacious and we couldn’t have asked for more. The king sized bed was super comfortable and pillows firm, which were amazing, not those feather ones that have no support. The pool and private beach were a dream…private, well maintained. Amenities by the main pool were great and food available until 9pm was a blessing!! We will definitely be coming back
Francisco, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property was good. Big units, well stocked and comfortable. Not 5 start for sure but great, especially if you had a family. Also appreciate the ability to get beach chairs, bikes, etc. Only real complaint is the fact that Expedia did not tell me the main pool was closed for reno when I booked. That's pretty important.
Anjanette, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Liked: swimming pools, beach, free kayaks and bikes, tiki bar Disliked: some of the music played at the main pool. More easy listening rock and beach music would be nice. No techno rock.
Louis, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great property. Perfect setup for the family to enjoy both the beach and the pools. Really, a wonderful set-up with very friendly and helpful front line staff. The rooms themselves were perfectly fine but could use some updating. The bed was comfortable but the pull-out couch was a bit outdated. It's time for a new one.
Benito, 5-night trip

6/10 Good

The main pool was closed the entire stay at the resort. The apartment couch was infested with fleas or some type of non-visible insect. Our exposed skin was bitten and burned like crazy. Recommend you fumigate your apartment upon checking-in. Air conditioner worked great.
Monty, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

Air conditioning was not working. We could not sleep.
Cesar, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

I’m disappointed, because the pool I saw in the advertising it was in Construcción and I paid for to much , for small pool
Nancy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Jen’s Experience.
The room we had was a king with sofa bed. Sofa was very old and raggedy, made farting noises when sat on and sunk down. The king bed was so firm and uncomfortable. Could hear the music from pool all the time but, only the base so sounded like constant thunder. For paying over $1500 for 2 nights I expect more. No breakfast as included either.

4/10 Fair

Dissapointed
we booked via hotels.com which advertised full services and access to all facilities. however, we were told by your hotels staff we did not have access to all 5 pools, towels, fitness center and the beach loungers/umbrellas. We were told since we booked via hotels.com, Sundial does not get any revenue therefore we do not have full access. The property description is provided to Hotels.com from Sundial so i am told by Hotels.com. either way, a complete dissapointment.
william, 5-night trip

2/10 Poor

Drab Old Facility, Terrible Breakfast & Service
I booked a partial ocean view room at the Sundial Beach Resort & Spa. I checked in after dark so I could not see the view from the room. I awoke to a view of other buildings. The unit I am in G307 does not face the beach. There are screens on the balcony. There is no way you can see the beach. I went to breakfast it is terrible!! Terrible food quality. Frozen pastry breads, running oatmeal and cold water served for tea. They charge $25.00 for breakfast with tip already added which they doe allot in Florida. Tip is for exceptional service, not mandatory! The facility is old from the 70's & 80's it is struggling hard to be current today. This facility needs to be closed and redone with a major remodel. Customer service is terrible. They told me to call to Hotels.com to deal with them putting me in a room without partial ocean view which I paid for. You are better off staying at a budget hotel then this hotel. I the quality is there no problem to pay. Not worth what they charge. I would say in its current condition this hotel should rent for about $250/night because it on the beach. If it were remodeled, more.
