Fodor's Expert Review Sundial Beach Resort and Spa

Editor's Note: This property is currently undergoing renovations.

With multimillion-dollar renovations, Sanibel's largest resort encompasses 400 privately owned studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom low-rise condo units, about half of which are in its rental program. The Gulf-front conference facilities attract groups, but families return each year for the seashell slide at the main pool (there are six pools in all) and the numerous on-site amenities. Water-sports rentals, soft tennis courts, volleyball, an amazing fitness center, a game room, a kids' camp, and an Eco-Center keep everyone busy. The Spa at Sundial and the on-site dining venues are open to the public.
