Living in luxury
This is fancier than I'm used to, but I could get to like it! The staff were extremely helpful and cheery. The beach was wonderful. Our room was lovely, including the kitchen and veranda (bayside villa 1 br). The resort restaurant we went to was good and not any more expensive than other local restaurants. We enjoyed riding the resort trolly to the north end of the resort for ice cream at Scoops.

Golf trip
The location and view is incredible and I will visit again. All areas of the resort were unbelieveably clean at all times. The only disappointment was that everything closed up at by 10pm so there was no where to get a night cap. Overall very pleased though.

Nice stay!!
Beautiful resort with spectacular views. Pool area was great! Wish there was a little more night life. Local places for dinner were excellent. Key lime Bistro and Doc Fords excellent and the Bubble room was fun.

Rainy cool weather dampened the visit.
Staff was congenial and efficient at the resort. Our room featured as overlooking the tennis courts but we could not see anything with the large trees that blocked our view. The suite was comfortable but outdated. We had no cell phone coverage on the property due to the wireless disconnect at checkin.

Awesome facilities for all ages
We arrived late at night and couldn't see the beauty and vastness of the resort. However, the next morning we were sure we had made the right choice. We would definitely recommend it and go back there. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. We weren't really impressed with the food at the Harbourside Restaurant but everything else was perfect. This was a perfect time of year to visit Sanibell and Captiva Islands.

Not that special
We were very pleased with the staff. They were extremely friendly. The landscaping is beautiful, and the location on Captiva is wonderful. The room, however, left a great deal to be desired. The lighting was nearly useless. The TV was lousy. The furnishings average at best. On an off week for what we paid we were reasonably satisfied. If you are looking at more than $200 a night, keep looking. They can not seem to decide if they are a time share, retirement community, or a resort. As result they did not seem to do anything particularly well.
