Sanibel Harbour Marriott Resort & Spa

My husband and I stayed for 1 week in the Sanibel tower and had a lovely time. Chris did a super job with our options at check in. I enjoyed a yoga class and a barre class with Rubby very much at the spa! The continental breakfast was exceptional. We enjoyed the dinner cruise, pools, and friendly staff also. Don’t miss the Ding Darling wildlife refuge on Sanibel Island, and the Edison and Ford Winter Estates and museum in Fort Myers. The Sanibel Historical Museum and Village was also very interesting. We’re planning to come back next year! Our daughter, husband and baby came from Miami for the weekend and loved it also.

We came for three nights. Check in was easy and staff were friendly and accomodating. Guys meeting and greeting outside were great and helped with the bags with a load of info and a smile. The hotel itself is situated right on the sea- we had a sea view room with a balcony and the views are truly stunning. It is such a shame that the decor is in need of revamp. It looks like a 1980s throwback- it is tired and unloved. The bath is small and old fashioned and I think the water pressure in shower is probably the worst I have experienced-it could be so much more- it could be a truly 5*experience. Carpets are also busy and old fashioned. There was an old mini fridge just stood alone along one wall in the room- it doesn’t give off a great impression. I didn’t use the pools but they looked great as did the outdoor jacuzzi. Also the spa menu looked good- massages, facials etc and a betar bed to balance your chakras which looked interesting. We ate in tarpon restaurant- food was absolutely delicious- I had a perfectly cooked steak and my husband had fish. We really had an enjoyable stay- waking up to that view everyday truly lifted the spirits. The hotel is not awful- it is fine- it just misses out on its full potential

The staff at this resort could not have been nicer or more helpful. Special shout out to Nick S. At the front desk. We has a bit of an unusual situation cone up, my daughter had to quickly move up her wedding date due to military scheduling and decided to come home Fort Myer to “elope” with just the parents and officiant. I booked her a room at the resort for her wedding night and she planned a simple outdoor service in a nearby park to be followed by some photos and dinner at a downtown restaurant. The day before the wedding- pouring rain predicted for 3 days straight. I stopped at the Marriott to see if we could get early access to her room so we could do some photos inside and Nick couldn’t have been more understanding. She had a beautiful room to dress in with a balcony that came out beautifully in photos. We ended up just staying at the resort for dinner and I wish I gotten our waitress’ name at Charleys. She was excellent and even stored and served my daughters small wedding cake while we were photoing and having dinner. Room was lovely, setting was picturesque, food was good, and staff was amazing. I’m a Hilton girl for all my business travel, but this experience really made think about switching my loyalty to Marriott. Thanks for everything!
