Casa Ybel Resort is located on a shell-studded sandy beach along Florida's southwest coastline. Guests can spend days gathering seashells along the shore, or simply soaking up the sub-tropical climate. It is one of the most popular beachfront resorts on the island, located within a comfortable drive from the Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers.
South Seas Island

The owners have invested more than $140 million in renovations, transforming the resort into a luxurious tropical getaway. If you're a golfer, you'll also love the South Seas Island Resort for incredible links with a view of the Gulf of Mexico.
Sporty Sundial Beach and Golf Resort
Of all the Sanibel Island resorts, the Sundial Beach and Golf Resort is considered to be most comprehensive. It's an understatement to simply say that there is "something for everyone" at Sundial Beach and Golf Resort.
This "centerpiece of the Island" provides visitors with the degree of comfort and pleasure one would expect from a classic Florida resort. At this national playground, visitors of all ages are free to play along the magnificent beach, swim in the crystal waters, and explore the miles of paved Island pathways on foot or bicycle.
West Wind Inn
