Sundial Beach & Golf Resort Review

Sanibel's largest resort encompasses 400 privately owned one-, two-, and three-bedroom condos, about half of which are in its rental program. It caters to groups in fall, families in winter. The latter hang around the main pool with its seashell slide, the shell-strewn beach, and the Eco-Center, where they can pet sea creatures and sign up for family activities and kids' camp.

    Hotel Amenities

  • 200 1-, 2, and 3-bedroom units (varies according to rental program participants).
  • Restaurants, bars, pools, tennis courts, gym, beach, water sports, children's programs, business center.
  • Rooms have: a/c, kitchen, Internet, Wi-Fi.
  • Rate includes no meals.

    Since each unit is privately owned and decorated, they all very different. We looked at several before committing to one even though we made our reservations on a travel site. The unit that we finally settled on was newly renovated and really nice except for the bedspread which looked like it was from 1982. Photos on the site look like all the units were professionally designed, however the reality is that each unit is different and could be really fab or really drab. Grounds look great but ask what day groundskeeping will be there or else risk noise all day long. Five pools that are not very crowded and the beach has great shelling. The resort's beach faces south so if you want to see the sunset you have to drive to a west facing beach like Bowman's Beach about 10 minutes away.
