We had an excellent stay at this hotel. The coastal king room overlooked the pool and gulf, it was a great place to stay. The beach was very nice, the grounds were beautiful and the staff very friendly. The amenities, breakfast, bikes, etc, made the trip even better. The Sanibel Inn next door provided more amenities, including a beach bar... More

This place is amazing. Eco friendly and clean with friendly staff. Nice choice for breakfast. I love the fact that it was full and we hardly saw anyone. We grilled out one night and they were prompt in coming to set up the grill. Also, free use of bicycles which is so awesome.

A five night stay at the Song of the sea provided the quiet relaxing break we had been looking for. A very welcoming first day with a bottle of wine and a smile. The room spacious with a view of the pool. Kitchenette with stove fridge/freezer, coffee maker. Laundry on site and the complimentary bicycles to explore the island made... More

Cheryl was very nice and enthusiastic about her job. She was very helpful. The room was very spacious and clean. We enjoyed the outdoor porch, as it gave us warmth but not direct sunlight. The view was very nice looking over the pool and palm trees. The free bikes were also very convenient. They were easy to use and fast... More

My husband and I recently stayed at Song of the Sea for a long weekend in April and were very happy with our stay. Our room was very comfortable and we enjoyed having the lanai to enjoy early morning and late night.

Great welcome by Cheryl, loved the free bikes, the pool, the beach. Room bigger than expected, very clean. Good restaurant recommendations. Useful to be able to use Sanibel Inn next door.
